Nature is different here. I've never seen stuff like this on the east coast

Thanks to Blacky 👍 I got another set of standard rims to clean up while I'm wintering in WA.

Forecast is for at least a week of rain so I set up in my daughter's garage and started stripping the paint.

Nah, she knows me pretty well ... though she would probably prefer if I keep doing stuff for her instead 🙂

Feel like I should be updating this thread but I'll be away from home for a bit longer

... been buying online a bit, so have pertronix ignition and flamethrower coil waiting for me

picked up a digital GPS Speedo as well - more for checking than constant use though I think

also grabbed some dress rims but I'll have to see if they hide too much go fast paint

then a speco shifter came up so I grabbed it ... hole in the tunnel suits my current shifter - so again - we'll see

found this online too

Hi Patrick. Glad your sense of humour is flourishing in Perth. It's pretty ordinary here🥶
