Just catching up here and read this.   Hope you're okay and didn't get hurt.
:wave: Hiya Pops.......
I am all good, did not get hurt, car was in worse shape than what i first thought, cost the insurance a boat load to repair suspension parts, plus the waiting time to have the parts arrive from America was a bit of a set back. But i am all good, thank you for asking :bigsmile: :2thumbs:

Hey vilzrod, great to see you like my project buddy  :cheers:
I have been caught up with a lot of home and work items, but i just got a delivery that i was waiting on to help in the jig of the handles for engraving, so i will be on to that and get them off to be chrome plated very soon. I will post pictures of my progress with the engraving to showcase how they are looking in the stages as i go.

Thanks again for the support and interest guys :wave:

Did I miss something Ken? Were you in a wreck?

 :wave:


That is pretty much what happened, and then the repercussions their on afterwards also, i had to take the car back several times to have it fixed, which interfered with my work as it is a 4 hour round trip from my home to where the car was repaired. They did not count on me looking over their work i guess, better me having what i want, rather than my wife having a crappy repaired car to drive around. It is what we both are using at the moment for distance traveling until i put my Valiant Wagon back on the road.
But thanks for asking guys. :wave:

Thanks Ken,

We'll catch up soon. Just got a few issues with wheels and balancing. Found the shocks were wrong for the car and had popped!  The tyres on the front are chewed as a result.  The wheels are American Racing and are clearly for a Ford.  They need spacers but are still wrong for the car.  :violin: I will be going for a full set of Rallyes with 7s and 8s.  The rear Cooper Cobras are ok, so i will change the fronts and balance and align.  She should pump!  :burnout:

I didn't have the $2k for 98ron to Willowbank and back!!  But she does need a long run soon!! 

Cheers

Mozz! :aussie: :burnout:  :bigsmile:
