Post by FtoSam »

I know a lot of you (in qld) havent seen my car out and about for a while...

Its been in the shop getting the rear floorpan welded... ($300 and a carton later lol)

Anyway, doing the rest was pretty easy...

The gearbox is not on yet as im going to be bringin it up from bens halfcut, but the diff and suspension is in with the tailshaft mocked up...

One of my mates built me an exhaust as well... sounds like sh*t, but does the jobb for now....
