don't think i'm selling it just yet i might try and give it a chance
think i'll be happy with the red 6 might look at air con :think:
rear side glass will just be fixed in place glass, still not 100% sure on how i'll go about it first thought was sikaflex it in but if it were to brake or needed to be removed i think it would be a pain in the butt :think:

I was planning on just using a window regulator to hold mine in Mick , and cut the spline off the winder or make an armrest to cover it .
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

never thought of that :thumbsup: my only worry with that to me is i really want it sealed up don't want water to get in as there's nowhere for it to get out

one down brake test passed guy was quite happy with how they work, it's a system i thought of myself and no doubt others have done the same but i didn't copy it and i've used it before but never had to have them tested :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: the good thing is hopefully the engineer will recommend it for others excluding them from the bloody brake test.

it wasn't done at the engineer ( i seem to have found another no nonsense not out to rip everybody off engineer :D ) it was just done at a brake and clutch place that the engineer sent me to, other engineers i've heard prices of $500+ even up to $2000 with track hire etc this test $38.60 gives a report on brake force on each seperate wheel and handbrake plus percentage front to rear and decelleration in G force so can't see that you would need any more than that

Great price Mick.
I had a mechanic in Pakenham book me in for a brake test at $350, so I rang around and ended up paying $20. I let the first bloke know when I rang to cancel :-)).

i could have probly made it even more worthwhile aswell if i had of thought about it, for rego in NSW they do a brake test in the inspection and that is how they figure the price so what i should have done was asked them could they do the rego inspection aswell, but as things go i'm happy paying the $38
