Yeah they're fading fast Tim. Lithgow is high on the list. I still have to get the rear cargo area trimmed and a few other things done before its completely ready for the trip. Will do re the plates. :thumbsup:

Fantastic news Stewart.
You'll be surprised how all those late nights building her, will quickly fade from memory after you been driving her for a while.

Awesome work. :grinnn:

I've just reread the last 20 pages, and learn a lot in the process.
Best of luck for tomorrow.
The first road drive will be amazing......

This has been a great build with all the photos to show what you've done I'm sure it has been a help to many people that needed help with there own build to check how you went about it.
Enjoy :clap:

Hey Stewart,

I am a silent admirer but I can't resist making a comment, especially on the endurance side of things.

The hurdles of work , money , time and family go hand in hand when building things and really its the commitment and focus that keeps it all going.

Well done mate and I look forward to seeing it the flesh one day.

Regards Greg

don't bring it to me :shock: you'll hate the drive home on the cut down bump stops :twisted: :lol: but we can tell them that is why it's coming or been :wink: :)
actually looking at it sitting on the trailer the ride height looks pretty good for a family car looks lowish but still should have a reasonable ride :thumbsup:

Great job Stewart.
Thats ended up a real good old car. Mick is right in saying that the ride height looks a bit cool, sitting on the trailer, but soon, NO MORE TRAILERS!
