Hey! Who says he's my better half?  ???  :D

John's always happy to chat about things like that. While the kit and methodology for your application is different to ours some of the issues were the same and having someone to help steer you in the right direction can really help - and while cyberspace is great, nothing beats a good talk.

Now don't play with yours as much as John has with his!  ::) ;) It is a good feeling though!  ;D

Nice work fat this wagon is shaping up great .....FC427.....
As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride

Good on you FB, as others have said, great to see some photos of your build up.

Pity the bodywork wont be done for orange so will be rough as its going to be a driver not a showy thing like the ek ute

hey fatboy, what are the plans with the tank, this is what held me back from lpg although lpg would work pretty good with the blower with its higher octane.

gwuthie

I'm exited by new things (new to me at least)
That column cable looks good, I may do the same.
And the gas is real trick too!! 8)



FATBOY

With the tank im getting rid of the fuel tank and putting the gas in its place going to loose the spare tyre space but all will be covered by sheet metal when finished
