Well, most of you may have seen my old post, if not go check and let me no what you think of the work done.

since last time was post a lot has happen, well where to start, Driving home from work one day and the time gearing went, just as i got home, lucky in a way. So thought it was time to get her looking shiny.

So, motor came out the next day, Which has had a full re built, I sent it a way to Abbouts, in southport, gold coast
Really wanted to give it a go but thought I'd leave the first motor to a pro.
but really happy with the motor, Got a Watson racing cam, Je pistion's and whole new head ect ect ect, It's now a bit of a Tuff 6 and still keeping the original style Smiley

gearbox got a freshen up, as well as uni's, new clutch slave, etc etc

Did all the repairs to the body, very little rust which was nice Tongue
2pk prime, then splashed a few coats of DuPont original colours, which is still yet to have a cut and buff.

threw some Mexican blankets over the original seats, got some new speakers which are just sitting on the floor in some box's so no cutting into the car at all.

Well that's just some of went down in the 2months she was off the road
been driving her again which has been really nice and just got a few little things left ill be doing slowly along the way,

Let me no what you all think.
