ninja-philbo Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 hapy birthday mate gl with ur test hope it u get ur ls bro Quote
JJT036 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Cheers guys. :y: Ollie will be taken care of and respected when she's completed and on the road -- from both me and dad. :) We know how easy it is to install a windscreen, and we've read how people have done it, but we need to get a windscreen, and we want to get it fitted professionally. Next to do OURSELVES is the roof lining so we can bolt/screw down the Sunroof. But, we gotta wait till next weekend -- pending on weather conditions. Josh :cool: Edited July 3, 2011 by ewt Quote

JJT036 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 Thats fine mate maybe try obrian or someone like that ??? see ya jimi We've got a few responses so far (here and fb), so I'll get dad to call them up, and also give O'Brien a ring for a quote. :) Today was a bit busy, and the only car-related thing we did today, was buy 2 sets of L-Plates. One set for the EWT-mobile (VT Wagon), and the other set for Mum's VZ Berlina (which I think is the Best Automatic Learner's Car). :) Josh :cool: Quote

abbott Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 Well done Josh! Your gonna love driving after all your hard work! Quote
JJT036 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Posted July 4, 2011 Well done Josh! Your gonna love driving after all your hard work! Thanks man. As far as time goes, this project probably won't be finished (or on the road to be specific) until next year I reckon. :) Called someone tonight for a Windscreen for Ollie. He's gonna come up and do it on Friday Night. New windscreen fitted (we supply the rubber), as well as the back window fitted, for $180 all up. :) Woz & Josh :cool: Quote
SkidzMgee Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 Been reading your thread since it got started and I first joined bud, you have an inspirational wagon, the quality of which I hope to get close to at some point, and I can only imagine how proud you're going to be rollin' down to your local shopping centre, knowing that no other 16y.o has a respectable Rolla like yours ;) Enjoy being in the saddle, and don't (unlike myself and many others) abuse your privilege of enjoying our roads :) I learnt the hard way and only just got my license back Thursday just gone. It's painful if your not careful. /rant Can our wagon's get together and make hybrid Rolla wagons of awesome? Quote
carbonboy Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Glad you didnt end up going through O'Briens, they overcharge & do sloppy work with cars in my opinion. A friend of mine now works for them, he never believed how overpriced they were until now & no I can't even get mates rates lol. His boss wondered why they didnt get much 'car club etc' work & was told simple, you're too expensive, stick to insurance work. :yes: Congratulations on passing your licence test, you did better than me, I instant-failed my first attempt :P Take heed of what SkidzMGee has said, you'll be able to enjoy your car more if you resist temptation. But given the effort/work you've put in, I doubt you'll risk her safety :wink: Edited July 4, 2011 by carbonboy Quote
