You went to the drags without me ya bastard! next time let me know!!!

Pics are coming... more hopefully friday. Thanks lingeringsoul, I was at OP on Saturday, although not driving, I was helping as a spanner spinner for the day, oil change, suspension change, under body work, lap timing, tyre changer and the like... Had fun though next time it WILL be from the driver seat. Feel free to come and say hi anytime, or look for me on the TV? Cheers, Dan.

I SOOO Wish I was driving!

Sure can... I'll hopefully get them up by friday. Will be still using the cluster at this stage, sorry mate.

UPDATE 01/05/06: Well a productive day, the car isn't painted, but it is 95% ready to have everything painted. Today we cut away some excess weight, all be it 20 grams!, but it had a more important need to be GONE! We are going to mount the intercooler further back seeing as all the air con crap is gone now, and the front of the chasie rails are in the way, so air hack saw (how good are they!!!) out and away we go, 10 mins later all gone, mark out some holes for the new cooler pipes and done! Damn, it is just so easy at a workshop. Next was sanding the outside of the car... this is SO MUCH EASIER than the inside... and as a result the car is 95% ready to be painted... pressure is on for tomorrow to have it done... I even started to mask up the lights! Tomorrow we are starting at 5:30am to get the compression and deck height just right so we can get the head back from the rebuilders, not that it needed anthing more than a tidy up. Oh and very important news, Hybrid and Bel Garage have come on as sponsors, so get out there and support them also... they are doing a huge job of looking after me with very high quality products and services.

The car is in Penrith Mitch. Thanks for the offer... not meaning to be rude in ANY way, but is there some specifics that you can help with, ie wiring and re wiring cars for example. I don't at all want to be rude, but we are really pushing ahead, and we would like help from anyone that has specific skills and knows what they are doing. At this stage we can't wast any time, and if a helping hand is what you can offer, I REALLY do thank you for your help and offer, but we must push on full ball without directing anyone. Feel free to come out and watch though, Waterhouse Auto Care in Penrith is where we are building the car, so if you wanna come and look, and see what we are up to then that is fine, all you need to remember is that Jamie is still running his business, so be careful not to get in Jamie's or his customers way. We start at 5:30am tomorrow, see you all there! LOL.

Sorry mate, I didn't get my camera back today as I hoped, I will pick up Dad's tomorrow night and take some picks of all the parts, so end of the week they will be up, very sorry to all that have asked for pics. gonna be a busy week for more reasons than one! And replied! Dan.

People, be nice or the thread will be locked, no questions.

HAHA... Matty, coming to the dark side I see!

Well here we go, Picked up the front bar (thanks MFX) and the new cooler (thanks Hybrid) and I'm heading off for the first of a week of long days on the car! I will call about my camera today also and hopfully it will also be ready... so you lot can have some pictures also! Talk soon. 19 days till the car HAS to be ready. Dan.

Updated again guys, come on, make some offers!

Always a pleasure. Updated prices guys... need to clear some of this stuff. All reasonable offers considered. Dan.

HEHE... me either! Big week coming up next week guys... have the week off and really going to work EXTREMELY hard on the car... if I get a chance I'll update as I go. Dan.

Yeah I know... bit dissapionted about that... never mind, still a few more tests to go before the first round... Thanks for the wishes!

Bloody mountains... still not on the stands up here...

UPDATE 26-04-06: 30 days to go and the car is still not painted, Eddy has been really busy shich is good for him, but means that my job is being put off a bit... He tells me that the inside of the car will be painted this week, hopefully by friday, and I'll be able to start to put things back in over the weekend. Engine is coming along nicely, head should be beack this week, and we will put it all together... can't wait for the RB30 POWER! Apart from that it is all just waiting for the painting... More photo's soon guys, Dan.

Yep, Type M style. Hopefully I will get my camera back this week and be able to take some pictures. Dan.

Sorry for being a bit lost... but not sure what you mean by door cards? I don't think that there is much I'll be selling from the door section as I am keeping the trim on them.

Interesting thread guys, I have put the topic into the agenda for discussion at the upcoming SAU-NSW AGM... it will be held following the latest episodes of CSI and CSI:NY... shit hang on... sorry, back on topic... See HERE for all the details! AND be there ya bums... especially you Mountains crew... I also come from the cold place! and will hunt you down! Dan.

Camera is Busted at the moment... which I hope to get back soon as some more really interesting stuff will happen soon! Sorry guys, I'll borrow a camera if I need to for the interesting stuff!

Roof lining is in pretty good condition I feel. Pm me a number if interested. Hey Chris, I am at this stage planning to use all of that stuvv again... but if I don't I'll keep you in mind. Still using that also Musky, and I really want to start to put the car back together next week... so hopefully I will find the snorkel then! Cam off a Series 1, but I would assume that they would fit a series 2 also. they are grey, and again have some stickers still on them I think. Cheers Dan.

I *think* it might be a RB25DE??? if not is the engine in good running order?

PS. Updated also guys and girls... more items to get stuck into.
