One with "Chromer" wheels and one with out. I dno if I actually prefer the contrast with the darker wheels.

but I want to get them polished - bullet capped and thin whited. Wanted to do that today but nooooooooooo parents went away

gotta borrow some stockies of andrew, take tyres off ma hustlers, then take them to auzzie park. Thin whites should take a week to order in so when the polishing is done, thin whites go on, then I go roll my guards (more) then re set leaf springs, and cut some springs.

more updates:
- cut out some speaker holes in the rear parcel shelf...
- ran a 21.7 at nostalgia drags
- new radiator which I have been waiting to install for 3 months
- red dirty water now has painted my engine bay

oh and my favorite update
went to get dvds last night
me - "hey dad i need fuel"
dad - "we have some at home for the boat, fill it up when we get back"
me - "we drove to whiteman park (2hrs) on sunday and used up the whole gerry can, im probably running on nothing"
dad - "it'l make it"

500 meters before the turn off to get onto my street

FUNNNNNNNNNNNN walk it was for dad
until i got it to crank over and went roaring down the road

Your Dad must have been pissed off, should make him buy you a carton of your favorite drink (probably Ice coffee!)

I like the rims darker with the white walls, ride height in first pic looks .

Looking good J, so when are the springs and lowering blocks being done .

THANKYOUUUUUU
how do you do that?????


Andrew I have thought of the paint on whitewall. I would like to run 185's though to eliminate scraping

Will be good to see what it looks like with my 185s stretched onto it.

just took out the backgrounds on 2 of the pics and dropped it into a gif animator program

well....

the old girl is at my mates place - in the next few weeks we are:
*ripping the engine out
*giving it a good service
*fixing up dodgy wiring
*fitting twin carbs
*setting up a trimatic
*fitting a new fuel tank
*setting up new radiator and tranny cooler

and generally making the car completely roadworthy.
the trimatic we are doing up a bit so I might be able to chuck a decent skid

my hope is it will all be done by the 4th of may (my birthday) so I will be able to drive it round on my p's

I'm pretty sure it's not the trimatic that will stop you doing the "skid", it's the power of the Grey , Trev .

Sounds great J, make sure you take plenty of pics and post them .

Are you going to the Nats?
