Another mad thrash end of last week saw the CM finished and driven out, and put straight onto full NT rego.
Brett is very happy.




With that blow in job done, it was time to be back onto my cars.
So Mildred was on the hoist Thursday night and tried on the new lower profile tyres.
Happily I got the clearance I needed to let me run the super low springs.
So it was full steam ahead, to fit the 2 inch blocks under her bum.
All has turned out well and I really love how she sits now.








I have also last night replaced all hex head bolts with Stainless allen button heads.
Mildred also had a bath and will be polished and waxed Tuesday night.

I then decided to make a start on my "Barn Find" Corona.
Found a leaking rear welch plug in head also a knackered brake master cylinder, I know have all the bits to fix both these, so will be into it tonight.



This is Maude (Maude Auguta as she came from Port Augusta).
She has seen some 80's mods with conversion to floor shift and Jag bucket seats plus a sports steering wheel.
I had some old Globe mags, but think I will go back to stockies and caps she had when I picked her up.
Will see duties this weekend in grass driving events.
