[teamrod]

i have started to get busy again 

i am getting pretty good and repairing doors!

repaired door inner and outer skin







borrowed an industrial wet vac cleaner and did all the interior-goes back in tomorrow. just got a rear arch and a few bits and its all ready for paint-FINALLY-been so so not interested/busy to do cars at the min.

 to voicey-yeah i was amazed by the racism to and the police(i have a few storys of them while i was there). like you said-the expericene of oz/lifestyle etc is amazing-i was lucky-i travelled for a whole year without working-well tell a lia lie-i worked as a thomas the tank engine driver in sydney for 6 weeks before hiring a 911 for 24 hours with a mate-we are both now banned from oz for 7 years/or until we pay the fines!! lol



i am not sure what i want for the monte really-the more i do it up/spray it etc etc the more i will want for it really-but as a very rough guide between £1500 and £2500 depending on how far i take it/interior,paint,rams etc

but i have done the rack for 6 batterys-won't be welded in incase people want to alter it,all metal cut for chassis areas, extended a-arms-proper caprice ones.brand new tires-will paint part of the rims same as the car. was going to spray it mazda bright green/flake and call the car apple juice-but its two much to ship the interior paint for the seats etc so with a blue interior i am now thinking blue and purple with lots of flake panel accents/roof-but at the end of the day i want money to help fund a wrx engined beetle i want to do.

Thought you were emigrating?

[teamrod]

yeah i was-got a job and everything-but then i met an air hostess with two horses!!!! i said i would stay in the uk as long as we could snowboard loads(she gets flights for £15 and hotels for £10 thro crystal and thomson which rocks,do a barn conversion(to then use the money later on to relocate-horses cost £5600 to transport to canada!) i also stated i wanted a supermoto and a double garage!!! not to mention a husky!!  ...............so far we have a husky,lots of holidays and looking for property at min and i am treating myself to a supermoto this week hopefully. but the plan is to sell one or both of my lows to make  way for new projects. ithink deep down i still have a desire to move to the mountains-but we will see.

Hello ASBO neighbour lover - I have just re-read this whole thread for the Regal build - you definitely have the finest low-low in this fair Isle. Still shacked up with air hostess and husky and super moto? Did you flog the flaked Regal? I've been out the loop somewhat....

Hope all is well anyway. Impala coming on v v slowly as usual.

blast from the past...................

I had a beer with Six-Four the other day, was in Malvern at the Morgan factory for Fifth gear.
The impala completion is still pending
  but he's hoping for movement this year.

[teamrod]

Yeah I would love to see his 64,was coming on really well a few years back,time flys!!! :-)

[fatdaddy]

we struggle to find times when my shifts and work allow me to do anything and when Jon's schedule allows him any time at all !!

Latest is that it will be going in for everything else to be finallised then I'll go over and do the install

but wether we'll get it done this year or not  who knows
