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  |

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

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
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.

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 Ed |

Congratulations Glenn.
That first drive makes all the effort worth while.
Now you can just enjoy it, as I am sure we all will when we see it this weekend.
