tested out the new springs today, a little low...

...joke... just fitted the dolly

Car went to the painters at the start of the week, should be back during March some time.

All the seats are at the trimmers in Richmond now, should be back in a month and looking good.

Something like this, but in black.

There's just something about a shell on a trailer... Wish I'd taken pics of mine when it was like that.

Awesome work man, you sticking with Verona?

[felix_666]

Have to stick with original colour, would be a sin to change. Plus i really like the colour.

[felix_666]

as close as it gets to new brakes these days, would have prefered a darker colour but this was all i could find.

looking good man, mines going back together well hope to have it done very soon. That seems like a very long time to get the body done, what is happening too it?

[felix_666]

Every inch is being painted including some rotisserie work except the rear cabin. These things take time especially when your getting a sweet deal, only gets worked on during Saturday mornings so i reckon a month and half isn't too bad.

[bingbong]

yeah thats alright, hope it turns out well

Re-built the old speedo with the aid of the parts car, fiddly job but i got there.

[bingbong]

i see you have the 220k speedo, same here its ment to be rare here in aus but ive only seen one 200 and 2 220's so i dont know what to think!

[felix_666]

My original speedo was in miles, so i converted just the speedo from my later model parts car and realised when putting it in that the new one had the crosshair thing - looks ok, just need to work out how to zero it.

Did some more painting last week:

have to do something about the inside of the tank

boosters and things

[H_Krix]

Do you have to crawl under all that stuff when you hang it up in that little aisle??

Keep it up, man.

[felix_666]

yep, you get pretty good after a few goes.
