but it does feel good  :D

and i also agree the pics do no justice, as it looks white on blue
and the cream just looks sooo much nicer

on a side note how did you get the front seats passed with no head rest, or were they switched out after

Thanks for the nice comment John. I think you must have my seats mixed up with someone elses as mine are original.
Regards Brett

john253a

i knew that, just wasn't sure if you got ours passed like that?
as i want to keep my that way as well, but ive been told no,
thats why i thinking new in, get passed, new out, original back in,
im still in the prelim stages, sorting everything out, prior to pulling off the road

John, out of the three engineers i used not one said anything about the seats. Dont know where you got that info from but i think that is wrong although as i told everyone yesterday not one of them are on the same page. If you are in vic and dont have an engineer call me and i will let you know the ones NOT TO USE.

New wheel choice is much better, a little more subtle to the eye compared to the first set.

Totally agree. Thanks mate. Comments have been kind so i think i made the right choice. Didnt want to go "bling bling" as i thought it would be too much. As they say, less can sometimes be better.

Less is so much better - your car is sensational, a real credit to you Brett.  And thanks so much for sharing info on the build along the way as it is very much appreciated by us under construction blokes.  Cheers, Graeme

Hey Brett,
Nice work the car looks great. I have 1 question, how does the plate under the speaker grille work? Does it hinge?
Cheers,
Graham

Graeme, Been so caught up with trying to get it through engineers that i havent got to that stage yet. Now that i have got it through i will start on it soon and keep you updated. Regards brett

Hi Guys, Just thought i would post a couple of recent pics. I am lucky to have driven her twice in the last 12 months. Have added some chrome under the bonnet but not sure if i like it. I will let you decide. Also upped the insurance due to the number of classic vehicles being stolen. Regards Brett

Looks great Brett

Invest in a GPS system mate best insurance you can get..

NES304

Looks the goods to me!
Good idea Pete. Trackers are great



JOX515

Looking better and better each time I see that car Brett.  Agree with Pete and NES - get a GPS installed.

I have one of these in the FE 20 dollars a month with telstra im sure there is better plans available.
Works well just call it and it sends back co ordinates click on the coordinates and google earth gets it within 5mtrs of  where its located

brett_f

Hi Guys, Yep know about these already. I have them in our work vans. Unfortunately im away for periods of time so needed the added insurance in case it went missing. Lots of the types of vehicles being stolen at the moment. For those without insurance at least get laid up insurance. It is not expensive. Im with Lumleys. Brett

NES304

I have laid up insurance with Shannon's-- found out the car wasn't covered if the house burnt Down!
