Good luck for tomorrow cobber , have been watching your progress - top effort and I hope you really get to enjoy the weekend . .
the tailshaft guy RULES. you workin on it tomorrow night Rob? i can bring the shorty generator over..
yes, yes he does. i'll be there all day but i've got the 'yabbi' at night, i'll drop in and sort it wednesday.
highs and lows today, first drive...... with no gas pedal hooked up, but still good fun, then things went to shit a little but its all good. first time out side was my 10meter drive Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us
looks fantastic, hats off to you for the effort, you've won regardless, but looks like your all good to make it.
Lookin' good - still got plenty to do obviously, so not much sleep if you're gonna make it, but either way, it looks great. What's the steering box out of?
Rock on, congrats, and whilst I appreciate the emotional rollercoaster you're currently riding, it's great to see the progress, and as Corey mentioned, you have won regardless to the outcome. Going to guess that it has more to do with post #56....is the adaptor concentric? Cheers, Drewfus
Very VERY kool Rob...I LOVE it and itsd pretty much what Im lookin at doing next. Are ya on target for some dirt track action? Rat
thanks for all the positive remarks, i had so much help, i was hoping to have every one that helped out on the dirt track but its not to be. yesterday after the start up it was clear that that there was a leak in the head, so late last night a mate come round to help me change the head gaskets as i had a full set here for my engine, small price to pay for the loan of the engine i thought, as soon as the head was off we were greeted with this... Uploaded with ImageShack.us i am gutted for thommo as its his motor and was sold to him like this when they must have known about it, i spoke to him today to let him know the story, hope to be able to help him out as everyone has helped me. so thats it for now, don't get to dirt drag, but am stoked at how much more i am along. cheers rob
You did an awesome job and it's a huge jump closer to being finished now.....worth it. We can enjoy the weekend now without worry of killing ourselves.
Man, that really sucks. So close, yet so far. Great work and hope you'll be in better mood after a few beers at the weekend and planning for the new engine.
Great looking ride How did you get so much done in such a short time . Nice work. Its inspiring. Its a bitch about that crack
no sweat Rob,i'm real sorry for screwing your weekend, took a chance on the motor,thought it was a pretty good deal at the time, not the end of the world. i'll catch up on the weekend. cheers,thommo.
Thats a bitch Rob, and after one hell of an go, You still win the award for the best efort. and mate, youv`e still got your looks !
Barstard ! after the huge effort you and the helpers put in . Oh well , like they say " thats what playin round with old hotrods 'll get ya" . Hell of a cool lookin roadster tho . .
long time between updates, lots of things getting done...slowly. best of all is i have almost finished the engine, having never built one from the ground up it was a bit of a learning curve, but i think it turned out well, just waiting on some heads and i'm good to go.

Glad to see an update. How 'bout some photos of how the car has progressed. I imagine it's lookin' real good (fingers crossed). Oh yeah, the flattie looks bitchin - all shiny and machined. Cheers.
