One with "Chromer" wheels and one with out. I dno if I actually prefer the contrast with the darker wheels.

but I want to get them polished - bullet capped and thin whited. Wanted to do that today but nooooooooooo parents went away :roll: :roll:

gotta borrow some stockies of andrew, take tyres off ma hustlers, then take them to auzzie park. Thin whites should take a week to order in so when the polishing is done, thin whites go on, then I go roll my guards (more) then re set leaf springs, and cut some springs.

more updates:
- cut out some speaker holes in the rear parcel shelf...
- ran a 21.7 at nostalgia drags
- new radiator which I have been waiting to install for 3 months
- red dirty water now has painted my engine bay

oh and my favorite update
went to get dvds last night
me - "hey dad i need fuel"
dad - "we have some at home for the boat, fill it up when we get back"
me - "we drove to whiteman park (2hrs) on sunday and used up the whole gerry can, im probably running on nothing"
dad - "it'l make it"

500 meters before the turn off to get onto my street

FUNNNNNNNNNNNN walk it was for dad
until i got it to crank over and went roaring down the road

I like the rims darker with the white walls, ride height in first pic looks 8) 8) .

Looking good J, so when are the springs and lowering blocks being done :wink: .

well....

the old girl is at my mates place - in the next few weeks we are:
*ripping the engine out
*giving it a good service
*fixing up dodgy wiring
*fitting twin carbs
*setting up a trimatic
*fitting a new fuel tank
*setting up new radiator and tranny cooler

and generally making the car completely roadworthy.
the trimatic we are doing up a bit so I might be able to chuck a decent skid ;)

I'm pretty sure it's not the trimatic that will stop you doing the "skid", it's the power of the Grey :lol: , Trev 8) .
