Oh yeah congrats on the ruggie! Yet another holden lover I hope!
Thanks :D :D :D


Tell you the truth I didn't notice that it was out so I assume it must be close to level, what conversion kit are you using?

Okay has been a while since I worked on the old girl, I've had the diff shortened and put back in and put the wheels on but that's about it
Have had a few things happening so haven't had the time to do any work on it
Decided to give her to a mate who can finish her properly
I'm glad I did as he has already had some good ideas and done more work in one week then I have in last 6 months :shock:

The first time she's been out of the shed for nearly 3 years

Stopping for Maccas on the way

Going to have a look at it this weekend so hopefully will have more to update :D :D :D
