It's all good mate I can clearly see what has been done to my car and I know you havnt done anything bad with the money I appreciate all the hard work by everyone it feels like a new car compared to when the work started on the car it was a great day Saturday disappointed I could not have been there on Sunday chin up mate.

Hey Jonathan,
Tell whoever said that to go F themselves, as one who donated my hard earned, I for one don't expect any expenditure to be justified. I would have been happy for you to just give the money to Healy and him spend it however he saw fit.
Mate from the moment this little project started, you have toiled effortlessly to make all this happen. And the generosity of those on this forum overwhelmed me, not just the money, but people hopping on planes at personal expense to come and work on the vehicle, and blokes driving in from other states to do the same.
I for one find it offensive that your character seems to have been called into question, and I've got to say it's leaving a nasty taste in my mouth(so goodness knows how you feel). It's things like this that poisons the well and makes people reluctant to help others out in the future.
Anyway mate, If you feel the need to post a list of how the money was allocated go for it, keep the chin up and know that I reckon the majority here really appreciate what you have done.
Take care

Hey Heals,

Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

Yes I must add that the car is a completely different one to before this.... a pleasure to drive.
This is a list of the guys that were under the car working there butts off...
Boots
Benny
Matty
George
Scotty
Darren
These were the main guys under the car (if I missed anyone I am sorry as my brain is fried) and worked like demons... I really mean these guys worked hard and got so much done.
George put so much time in the previous weekend fitting the gearbox clutch and came for more the next weekend.
There were an army fiddling with many small jobs and just lending a hand to the main guys when needed.
The people that kept the army fed were also brilliant as this meant the guys could keep working and was a much needed help (very under rated job)
4wd action emailed me again this morning to see how it went and asked what they needed to do.
I had a meeting with an electrician to go over some stuff at a complex I look after and we were trouble shooting some problems and discussing stuff and it was like I was talking to Benny... top bloke and I am very thankful for all his advice, I am now going to go over my whole car and change things thanks to his advice and tuition!!!
Thanks for all the help guys, big or small!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and I also got my radiator installed on Saturday... I snuck off... and the temp is perfect even though I bought the wrong coolant as I am a stupid prick so she just has water in there at the moment.
Got to find my receipt for the coolant so I can change for the right bloody one.
I am getting a tune this arvo and now my wheel bearings are squeaking........ never ends hey!!!!
