light at the end of the tunnel

[FC-V8]

Hi all
 Â        After nearly 5 years on & off in the rebuilding & modifing of my wagon I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Here is the link showing the progress & mods required for the chev v8 conversion

Thanks for comments guys

Stinky: The rake is staying on the fence as my 20 month old daughter loves to help dad on the car with anything she can get her hands on.

Slim: Your got first drive after me.

Ed: The engineering & detail in yours makes mine look like a heap.

Cheers
Glenn

Ha Ha, I didn't even look at the fence, I meant the stance, slightly lower at the front than the rear.
I'm not reall keen on gardening implements  ;D

Glenn,
I wish people like you would stop using this Forum to "Show Off your tallents" it makes mere mortals like me want to cry. Seriously you have done a very fine job and the paint work is tops!
Now you have to keep the progress pictures coming

Nice Glenn, lookin tough.

[FC-V8]

Thanks guys

Stinky: I am going to drop the rear a bit not to much as it has 235"s on the back that will just sit neatly in the wheel arch.

Nicko: I am very happy with the shine off the gun with acrylic it should come up like a mirror when its buffed hopefully. This was my first ever respray & I had quotes up to 10k so i thought bugger that i will have a go myself & saved heaps. The engine bay, underneath are all painted in 2pak but I was a bit reluctant to spray the rest of the car in 2pak due to the toxic fumes around the kids & the complaining neighbours but in the end it turned out better than i expected thanks to advice from Craig & his brother & others from this forum

Hi all
 Â         Well after over 6 years I have finally got to the end of the tunnel. The wagon was REGISTERED on saturday after putting some very late nights/early mornings over the last month but it was worth every bit of it. On sunday we had the family over for a BBQ to celerbrate & took my kids & their cousins for their first drive in the wagon talk about a grin from ear to ear, I had to bribe my 2 year old daughter to get her out of it.
I will post some new photos hopefully later today.
Glenn

P/S I would like to thank all the people on this forum who have helped me out(you know who you are) with advice, parts, ideas & motovation over the years. If it wasn't for this forum i know i would be still in the very black part of the tunnel. THANKS GUYS.

BIG congratulations Glenn, look forward to seeing it on display at this weekends Motorex exhibition.

Another one saved.

Cheers,

Congratulations Glenn!

Those hard years have finally paid off.

Very inspiring stuff and certainly a motorvator for others who see the fruits of your labour.

Cheers
