Well I just saw BA's new donk in the flesh and it is really coming along he obviously made it up to mine all good. Those black bars do look really good it off sets the colour of the car nicely. Hopefully some day I will be able to start my rebuild.

Well I made it there and back with no problems.
Terrible shake from a shit tyre I put on the back while I fixed the other and I am not sure of a couple other small issues net..?
Got to 3500rpm but strains to do so.

Before I headed out this morning I had one thing I just had to do.... thanks to mudski and his ebay store I scored a set of door switch rubbers... seems like not much but believe me they are a god send.
On the brindabella trip I had to disconnect my door lights as they were driving me nuts thanks to perished rubbers.
So thank you mudski...

Will the engine free rev to 4000rpm?
Anytime mate. I must say Bruce is looking the goods.
I did a quick squirt down the back streets and got to 3800rpm with no real restrictions... I backed off before 4000rpm as it just does not sound natural revving the shit out of it?
Hey Mark even Mags got home tonight and said the car is looking good... nearly fell over !!
