Well done Aus, those trolley wheels will make unloading a breeze, enjoy your build, fun times ahead!

That colour is going to be very popular, me thinks!

Nice effort Aus. That is a nice blue. Nearly as nice as the burple!

Takes up heaps of space, doesn't it. It is very rewarding seeing the progress as you throw the various packing boxes out though!

Concur on the blue - like it more than the old Pace blue. Well done on the delivery.

Not sure is your User ID has anything to do with the unfortunate events of the weekend, but feeling your pain if so.

Cheers

The image uploader here can be a little cantankerous and clunky but once you master it it's okay, even Deano now has it down pat.

Using the yellow square that looks like an envelope with a mountain scene on it from the tool bar when you're posting, you need to paste in the link from your full size image, not a thumb nail etc.

If your pulling it off dropbox or something open the image then ge that link from properties.

Its best to put a space between them as well.

We'll have to make a trip out soon to ooooh and aahhh over your new delivery.

Anytime...not next Sun as I'm coming to the Marques in the park.

I usually find myself busy with spring chores etc when its on, but I usually head down for a look as I'm only just up the road.

Brett,
Will the Cobra contingency be there?

I've finally finished my 2 x decks/pergolas and am finally about to (allowed to) start my build. The body was very easy to remove (once I realised to remove the door strikers) and it's super light. So yesterday was my official buildstart date. Yes, I know.....I need to clear out the shed.

Heading out for a look Sat the 2nd Dave. To Auswallabies that is, not doing Marques.

Hey Aus, mind if I tag along? Will most likely be at Chris' in Euroka Ave that day preparing timing gear for Shelby Fest

What time?

[Auswallaby]

Anytime, I'll be home all day. I just sent details to Dave for him to forward to everyone else locally via email. I'll have cake and coffee... (or a cold one if you want).

It's been slow going as I've been away a bit for work. Cut out the hole for the pedal box using my dads old 1975 vintage jigsaw (don't make em like that any more). Comes close to the frame on the engine side. Cut the hole for the shifter, finished the engine bay insulation. Started to drill and tap the holes for the stainless panels and broke the tap on the first go. Now waiting for the replacements, onto the interior.

Yay, finally mastered adding photos....
