Haha Rob.. i'm too nice for that though.. next best thing is just give it to her and leave or hang out with her brother instead haha.

I don't know if i'll be there.. i doubt it.. i'm gettin hammered by Dad to get the thing done cause he wants his carport back.

Haven't had council ring back yet Rob.. but had a chat to the people who did complain yesterday and both me and Dad nearly decked the old dude.. arrogant mofo..

We need a front drivers floor pan too.. because the bottom of the firewall is rusted out a bit and the floor pan is just double skinned.. so i'm pretty sure a floor pan should do the firewall skin seeing as its all the same curves and stuff..

Haddn't even noticed it until we started doin the subframe yesterday.. Eh.. get a floorpan cut to size and weld it in.. piss easy job.

Gettin there.. nearly ready to mock up the subframe and front gaurds

Thanks to all who hand a hand in the organisation of that one, was a great outing.
Fantastic to see so many FB/EK's out on the road too. Cars looked really cool rolling into the carpark.

Even the ducks had a good time..

Congratulations on the new family addition Craig.

Was I there I cant remember oh thats right I was driving one of those superseeded EK's. I am sorry to let you FB folk down. At least Fiona and Tony's car made a appearance with them on the other side of the world. I must say that car drives nice.

Heh.. the fourth.. the HR.. was ment to be a parts car..

Instead i've managed to pick up a HR front end for $65.. and with the 186 that came in the boot of the HR.. spare gearbox that i'll probably just rebuild that i got from Theo for free and i'll pick up an LSD and brake booster from the wreckers..

Why bother parting out the HR? Instead we've fixed some of the rust on it and doin the rest.. get it into primer and probs just paint it flat black, lower it and put on some black steelies instead of the shitty hotwires its got.. get it mechanically good (Motor starts and runs nice.. but clutch and brakes need attention..).
