lol Cheers guys,

Its sure is coming along slowly. Basically once my mate has done all the welding its time to get it rolling for Lance walker to make up a sick roll cage for it, then onto paint.

Main parts now is coilovers, brakes and dog box, then possibly a cf tailshaft, billet driveshafts, then focus on interior.

Interior shouldnt be too hard..

Driver Seat, steering wheel, speedo, rev gauge, and a seat for the chicks to sit on..must be reclineable. :)

knowing our luke he'll find some way to have some hydraulic hidden double waterbed with the optional back massager built in to the boot and rear seating compartment. you wont be able to see it, till he presses his james bond button, and then the sheepskin upholstery and dom perignon will pop up out of nowhere (and there will be an xxl size edible cherry condom located in the ashtray incase out hero finds himself in a spot of bother...(

-D

think i may have just found my half sister on FB :D shes a mutual friend of my cousins on that side of the family

which in turn will lead me to my old man which i havent seen in 20 years....

not sure if i add her and see what happens or leave it......

yeah, i dunno man.....

doesnt really seem like he has made an effort, last time he seen me was when i was 3.

how could ya do that?

if me and my missus broke up, theres no f**king way i could never see my son again, not even for a week!

let alone 20 years....

some things may be better left unchanged.

do it mate

family IS important no matter what.

As someone who's basically had nothing to do with their family in over a decade, I disagree. They've made no real effort to keep in touch since my parents kicked me out, why would I bother trying to keep in touch with them.

My friends are my family, and they've stuck with me more than any of my 'real' family has.

I'm in the same boat mate, except 21 years :ninja:

My thoughts on it are on par with most of what you've written ^

Some of you need to get off the high horse that you rode in on, people have extenuating circumstance's in there live's all the time. I cant speak for your dad craig but coming from 2 similar situation's it's easier to do than you think. My first child i wasn't apart of his life because the mother had an altermatem put on her by her parents its either us or him, you stick with him and we wont help you she stuck with them because i was only 17 and was very immature.

2nd child yas about 4 years after the first we were together 4yrs in total 2 childless and 2 with my son after things fell apart my best mate ran off with her which i took pretty hard hit the bottle big time and hit drugs just as hard for many years i hated them both and wished i would meet him on a bus so i could smash his face in through all this drinking and anger i didn't look for a relationship with my son to which i deeply regret. So here is the question do i not deserve the chance to get to know him or do i deserve all his friends telling him your old man is an effed up looser dont have any thing to do with him?

Iv.e been sober ever 10 year's now and been a contributing member of society, i have had the chance to meet him in court when he asked to change from a hyphened last name to a last name that matches the rest of the family, through that i send christmas money and cards to his grandparents and asked for his mum's mobile number oh he was 15 when i met him and my first son was 14 when i met him, he has since turned 18 to which me and Jema stayed at there house for a week and took him to sydney and stuff, in my personal opinion make the decision your self dont take the advice of e-friends

This has not been reread or corrected for gramma just straight from my heart to you

i see what your sayin man, i really do..

but my mum hasnt ever tryed to stop him finding me, our number has always been in the phone book

and his new wife is still in touch with my aunty, and i still have his last name!!

he has had plenty of avenues to get in touch with me, theres obviously a reason why he

hasnt that im not aware of, so ill leave it at that...

i have my own little family to worry about now.

He may be at a point where he is too embaressed to contact you Craig,

Just do it man - You don't have to be 'happy family' with him - but atleast you will have no regrets in formally meeting your blood father. Imo you got nothing to loose and everything to gain in just 'meeting him'. Like I said, you don't need to be happy family but atleast give it a go.

Steve, I see what you are saying and I feel for you, but my case has nothing in common with yours. Im happy to discuss details with you in private if you like but it sure as hell wont be posted on a public forum. Saying get of your high horse is a bit innappropriate for such a sensitive matter.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
