Great progress Sheila

Speaking of the "heap", did you ever chase down that arsehole that $*#@ you over?

Andrew

nah, nothing ever happened with it. We tried to track him down through eBay but he was using some one else's account who is apparently from Liechtenstein or something, which was handy.
We've tried calling him but we only get message bank and we spoke to a solicitor but he didn't seem to think it was worth it.

We do have his address though so if we're ever passing through Wooloongong we might pay him a visit...

thought i'd pop in with a bit of an update


we've taken the motor out of the wagon to use, runs better than the one that came out of the sedan.


got a HR front end but it had no brackets so dad jigged this contraption up using the brackets from the FB


had a trip to the sandblaster this morning..





uni's been full on for the last couple of weeks but i've got 6 weeks off now so hopefully we'll make some good progress. off to wintersun festival tomorrow and we'll be straight back into it when we get home

Good to see the wagon has been good for something!

been busy this week! finally decided on the paint colour, spotted it at wintersun and turned out to be Jonquil Yellow like i originally had in mind so that was it!
spent many tedious hours with the wet and dry and i haven't got any fingernails left but the engine bay is all painted now so i'm pretty happy

ITS SHMEAGAIN Looking good will look nice that colour

Love yellow on old holdens, are you going with any white? Trev .

Great to see you finally picked a color. Good choice.
Where did you get your chrome done ??
You will have to bring it to class on Wednesday night when its done to show it off.
At this rate it wont be very long.
