Jah, two weeks :-(

2 weeks, no problems: that's plenty of time to run her in b4 the Mansfield drive on 28/10......

[TMK-001]

I will not be attending, it is my sisters fiancee's bucks party that weekend, so I have to go to that.

:-(

I will be at the one after that!! (I want to get the interior and the brakes, wheels and suspension sorted before anyone sees it in person...

You're aiming high Todd. When you finally get behind the wheel there'll be no wiping the grin off your face! :-)

[TMK-001]

I hope that is the case... although, it has been that long since I drove it that I kinda think "Fuuck it! What's another week!"

Hahaha

Soooo, my car rolled into the booth this morning... all ready to paint.

A truck hits a power substation about 250km from where we are and knocks out the power to us and about 250,000 people for the day... down bright and early in the morning to get cracking. I want it painted by the weekend!

Some blurry shots... hopefully it will all painted soon.

Oh my god!!! So the car IS real! That is so cool. I'm so happy for you. It's in and then all you have to do next is put it back together again. That's great Todd. Looks like you'll have it done just in time for summer.

[Timbo]

Shiney stuff Todd. Got to love it!

[Biscuit3]

I propose we have a get together when the car is done, just like Keith on my2002tii.com did. BBQ is so Australian. Any excuse will do.

[oz_tom]

O thank god! :-P

Now its painted... take the car back to Geelong away from the place with no respect for time ;-)

Anyway, are you going to take it back to Geelong and do all the assembly or leave it up there and get them to do some/all of it?

Speak soon man. Back to the study... *sigh*

All right man! congrats on finally getting into the booth! I know the feeling, i was looking at my reciepts the other day, and I dropped my car off at the body shop on October 20th of 2005.

Keep at it man, once the paint dries, you're pretty much at the same point I am now. What do you have planned for engine/suspension/etc?

[TMK-001]

I have planned to do a temporary fit of a 45 side draught on a Lynx manifold to my M10 until I can afford/find a 2.5lt Euro S14 with dogleg C/R box... I have Koni Racing shocks with King Springs currently, but I am also saving for Ground Control Coilovers and IE swaybars along with Urethane bushes and a few other goodies for the back...

I have Lee's Massive Brake Kit coming from Canada, so I am waiting on that, but I plan on fitting coilovers, brakes and new wheels at similar time... I have not decided what wheels I want just yet, but I am close. I will fit Yokohama Advan AO48R's to the wheels.

My car has been at the panel shop since December 14th 2005... so it has been a long time coming! Hahaha

Thats awesome you getting your 02 painted. I would be so stoked to be doing that. Congratulations.

"it is my sisters fiancee's bucks party that weekend." I am learning this Aussie speak a little at least. I looked up Australian Buck Party and I also got Hens Party. Seems like the USA version of a Bachelor party and a Bacheloret party. Is that what it is?

Thanks,

John
