lap top + wireless broardband

hey guys,

not much to up date other than JOE IS BACK!!! although his wfe was diagnosed with cervical cancer

over the last months, which is VERY SAD!!! luckly the doctors have found in time so she will be fine AFTER kemo...

i told joe that his wife health is much more inportant to me that getting the car fix sooner than later...

so it maybe a while before anymore is done on the car, but here are some progress pics where the trim has been remove & repairs... some of the top stainless mouldings have been put back on...& new rubbers are slowly making their way into place...

hey what are these off...

Hi Matty,
finally got to meet you - thanks for making it down for the day..................
I was asking around a lot to find you - Stewart finally did the deed.............
Time was so short - I was on the field for over six hours and didn't even get one pic - little social butterfly, me..................

My voting was all over in a rush............... just started to fill in the boxes and down came the H2o........... think my form went in like a sheet of paper-mache.............

One weekend is just not enough - coming to Bendigo - '09?

Got to spend more time standing upright and not bent over my engine bay.........................

frats,
Rosco

ps - hope you are keeping all these pix............. when your cruisin' around in ya dream - I would suggest taking a trip back over these to see where you've come from.........................

I do very much hope Joe's wife makes a full recovery and endures the chemo without too much distress.................nasty stuff, that....we have a daughter in law who has been down that very bumpy road............

frats,
Rosco

I don't mind the all clear ones, you would have to use colored bulbs in them to be road worthy, I think

Yep combo 2 does it for me.
If you use the last combo I think you would loose the effect because of the light colour of the car,it would blend in if you know what I mean.
Red stop and tail light globes, I have never seen, but Im sure there out there somewhere.
