Title: The start of a long road
Post by: mickusmickus on September 15, 2004, 08:37:31 AM

Hi guys

I just got a new digital hence the rush of new pics of my car. It was finally time for me to start the long road to restoration after a weekend cruise down to the gold coast in Queensland ended in a cracked head.

I have big plans for my old blu including a red motor and HR front end upgrade and a nice bright new paint job (same scheme as now but with metalic light blu on the bottom and metallic dark blue on the top).

ENJOY!!!

MICKUS

Nice fotes Mickus,

looks like a very nice starting point. Hopefully you'll have none of the dramas we encountered with "Hilda" :'(

Even if ya do, its only a short drive to your place for Sarge and his welder. ;)

Look forward to watching the progress via the new digi-cam.

Nice & straight & square, great start Mickus. (Wish mine was the same)
But we'd rather not see you leaning against the new paint job with that belt on either ;) or there'll be no TV for a week young fella.
cheers,
Leigh
