Awesome pics Hewey! You sure are going to heaps of killer car meets. I need to start going to more again, its been a few years now. I also felt the earthquake and I'm in the Penrith area. I was laying on the lounge with my wife, we were watching Tv, and the whole house shook once, the wall...

Yeah, it has been a interesting year, a hard one... we are still only on one income at the moment, which means I have been doing 12 hour days trying to get on top of everything. Makes it hard to work on the car at all, I get home, catch up with the wife and play with the daughter, no time to...

Hi Ric, Congrats on the retirement! I can relate with the long hours and not having any energy to do anything. I have been absent from here in over 1 year, I am just catching up on everyone's build threads, seeing how everyone has progressed, and updating my thread too. I too was doing 60+...

Hi Dan, Seems I haven't been on the forums in over 1 year! Trying to catch up on everyone's threads and update my own with all my activities over the last year! Gate looks amazing, I really like it. Cobra is always looking good too. What a gnarly storm you had, it looks like there was...

Update February 2023 So Work hasn't stopped at my house, I still have not touched the Zed, most of my time has been organising the house as it was getting over cluttered. Our linen closet had become a storage dumping ground, and was floor to ceiling stacked with boxes and crates and what not...

Hey Marc, Funny how you say you ended up turning a few of the cars down or leaving them stockish to make the drivability better. Over Christmas me and the family went up the coast for a weekend away, now the wife's Suzuki swift is simply not a comfortable car to take on a long haul trip up the...

Yes, the quotes I got for my epoxy floor to be done makes me want to go into business doing floors myself. I went with a much cheaper quote and I got what I paid for. They ground the slab, primed it and painted it over 2 days, but I still have the epoxy lifting up in a few spot in the corner...

Looking good brother!
