Forgotten that they weren't running leaf springs in back...been driving old Holdens too long. doh!

lets see...!!

Keen to see lowered photos. Blocks and simple cut of the springs Mick?

Post it up when you're selling Mick. Keen.

Have had nothing but excellent service from Shannons. Been looked after 100%...if anything they surprise me just how well they treat their clients/customers. Don't want to sound like I'm blowing smoke up their ass, but I'll never insure my cars with anyone else.
On the other hand, my wife's car is ...

Sweet photos!
We're heading to the US in September and will be driving some of the old 66. Leaving Vegas and joining 66 @ Kingman, across Nevada, overnight detour to stay @ the Canyon, and then back onto 66 through Flagstaff and on.

Meant to say before...the guy who signed off on all the mods was a decent cat. Was helpful, positive and keen to see old cars on the road. Said he had no hesitation knocking back poorly modified cars, but very happy to put his name to jobs well done. Asked a very fair price too. I'd recommend him to ...

Credit goes mostly to a mate who did the hard yards on the car. He's a skilled hand with a welder and a spanner and the car wouldn't be done without him.

Just had to bring this thread back to the top...was sitting here drooling over it (again) and just couldn't help myself.

Kick ass!! Engineer signed off on all the mods today, Shannons bumped the insurance up to my requested value, QLD Transport changed over all rego details/numbers...ready to hit the road:

The list of changes is pretty standard for this mod but what the hell...here's a run down.
