Me too brother, me too!!!

Woohoo - get the sliders on Tuesday!! Fixed and powder coated for nothing!

Going to hold off any more goodies now until I sort the engine ... even getting that bargain on here, it's still going to set me back a bucket load, so best I tighten the investment reins for Tank at the moment!!

Still getting the brake lines, rear link pins for the swaybar, and upper control arm done on Monday though as that was booked in, so will be ready to play come the Scenic Rim trip!!

Hey Scotty just heard of this awesome bargain you should................................hahahhahahah ahhahahahhahahahaaha restraint till the next bargain hahahahahahaha

Looking foward to some piccies of those new sliderz.

Little update - got the drawers in today ... still no sliders as yet, and because I needed the rig, didn't get time to do the brake lines ...

Attachment 6980

Brake lines in Friday and not getting a bent upper control arm - just going to cut the petrol tank with a slot for the current arm to go down through ...

It's getting there!!!
