Cheers,

Thanks

it's just lace material layed down and sprayed over with a normal spray gun, the edging i'm sure would be better with an airbrush but i don't have one so just a normal gun
first time i've done lace so not hard to do

Mick,

Pardon the pun but you've buckled and got some decent looking wheels on it !

Looks way better now.

Regards Greg

23 years ago when we built this car on it's first major drive to Canberra for summernats i said the grey is going (never have liked them but thought it would be cool) well someone bought the car as soon as i was home from summernats so the engine never got changed, had the car back now near on exactly 2 years and while i have been reasonably happy with the performance of the grey it's just not a red, well that's all about to change :wink:

You know Mick if that thing had side windows I reckon it would be gone from your possession, sold I mean.

People and security, quite stupid really when you think about it, I went fishing once in Sydney Georges river, Lugarno to be exact and
accidently left my keys in the ignition of my Nissan Patrol in the excitement. Came back nearly 9 hours later and bloody hell car still there and keys still where I left them !!

Would it take much to put windows in ????

probably not if i thought about it but i don't really think about it, it's probably good that it stops people buying it as i'de only want another old car and the prices of them are ridiculous

only had a couple of short drives (needs a wheel align badly) BUT i remember why i put reds in them :thumbsup: :thumbsup: what a difference (and the old grey was the most impressive one i have ever driven) nice smooth power from the hit of the throttle, not sure why everybody raves about rear racks though it's better than the box but give me a front rack any day way more direct and no clue why people that have this type of rack still want power steer my 5 year old granddaughter could steer this thing one handed
