Hey Craig,
Looks cool! Is the engineer okay with you running bucket seats without headrests?
Cheers,
Josh

To all Car is engineered and registered as at 2.00pm today. : What a fantastic feeling. To all those who are still on their build keep going as this feeling of being able to jump in and take it for a spin whenever you want is fantastic. I deregistered it back in 2002 and finally back on the road today. I guess my post now gets moved!!! Good luck to you all Regards Craig D |

Thanks to all who have made such positive comments. I would also like to thank the many who have indirectly contributed to me reaching this fantasticlmilestone. InspirationPedro, for giving me a clearer outlook on life KnowledgeJB - your build however long it has taken, gave me the drive to keep going along with some great ideas Brett - your many posts on the technical aspects I.e. wiring the wiper switch etc. Jack - you know, those damn seats Ken - your knowledge and never ending source of spare parts Pete - your skill, expertise, generosity and willingness to take things to a new level with you build NES - your ability to keep taking pete's insults and humouring us all And finally to all those who contribute to this forum whether it be in humour or technical advice. I look forward to meeting some of you at some stage in the future, hopefully in Tassie, or somewhere up the east coast. Anybody heading through Toowoomba please PM me BTW I have had three requests for school formats just today. Not sure whether that is a good thing or not Cheers Craig D |

Craig - you're welcome, mate; it's an honour to have had some (very) small input into such a fantastic build... |

Well done Craig,car looks fantastic and yes it is an amazing feeling to finally have your car back on the road after such a long time off it.It is quite surreal to drive it for the first time after only seeing it parked in the shed.Have fun with it now and enjoy all the comments you get from others.Cheers,Jamie.
