[redzone]

cant do a power tune until it has some k's up on the clock! and we cant get the k's up til it's registered. and we cant get it registered without a roadworthy, which we cant get until we have a front bar etc etc......


right now it's just taking up space in my shop, hurry up steve! :P

sorry mate, I am busier than a one armed brick layer in Beirut and have had some surgery. I am falling behind with higher priority stuff as well so will need to get it sorted this weekend. I am as keen as mustard to get it finished.

[redzone]

ah bummer! how did u go with old mate from sa about that bar??

[groupAralliart]

You can now add to my woes with a flooded house and another visit to the surgeon next week - bugger!
Front bar is my very first job on the weekend so I can get the SA one up to you. Will call u soon.

Me, all tiled but have thrown a few rugs over the line to wash them. A real bugger as a few packing boxes were still unpacked and sitting on the floor so the kids books got soacked. Thankfully the rest was in or on plastic boxes.
Any more damage and ACE would be called!
Garry, I need to catch up with you this week and square my account - sorry I have been distant of late but I am trying to deal with a lot at the moment.
Cheers, Steve
P.S. I am getting on top of all now so should be able to get bumper, register car, run motor in and finally finish the widey properly. I have decided to sell my Evo 9 middle of the year and focus energies and fun/funds on the widey, I think it deserves it!

[redzone]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

late evo's are too sterile anyways :)


good to hear you're getting on top of things mate!

Up Date:
dropped in today and fitted a few more bits to the interior. The JB bar has arrived (thanks Pete - PANDA).
Dave has a couple of small jobs to finish off and I need to get a few sorted as well and we should be ready for RWC!
When I arrived at the workshop this morning I caught a glimpse of it sitting on the driveway entrance - shit it looks tuff with the wheels and lowered stance. I couldn't take my eyes off it and then realised it was mine :D . Not used to seeing it like that.
Also, If any one has any spare black interior trim bits or clips let me know as I want to replace a few daggy items. The wet weather does a good job of hiding the poor quality paint work on it at the moment, so will be forced to taking it out at night or in the rain only until I can get time to paint it properly.
I haven't taken any new pics as it looks the same but will when it is registered - next couple of weeks hopefully.
here is a reminder of how it started - sad really





Cheers, Steve

steve i've actually had people comment on how good the paint is on your car so i wouldnt be too shy about it..

man it's come a long way. this job was about twice as big as kit's transformation and it's taken half the time! my mind boggles when i think of how much i've done on it so far.........

Getting close now for rego so here are a few new pic updates:










What do you reckon? It looks great in the metal, just needs a paint freshen up.
