Yay! new faces. i'd love to see all the perth members that haven't yet come on a cruise. Oh, I've got a bet running... If I win the bet, I'll be taking a 3TGTE/W55 motorvated T18 (Dan's old one)... It's currently a bare shell sitting in my shed, and I have bet that I can build it in what is effectively one and a half days... Let's see how it goes.

 

I'm pretty darn excited about it all. should be great fun!

 

 

pics if finished for sure!

Ive seen the state its in. Epic if you finish it that quick.

well it's looking good... diff and rear suspension is in, tailshaft looks like it'll line up well(ish) and engine feels real good... Thanks to Dan's efi conversion all the wiring is in the right place already(ish) and I've finished the rack and pinion conversion... If i bail on Ken tomorrow night I'll easily finish it in time. Hey Ken, trade you a ride for a night off??? haha.

 

I actually got stuck in traffic for an hour and then stuck in licensing center for an hour... sucks so bad... Oh well, I'm off to pull out lower control arms so I can stick the front coilovers in.

I'm just retorquing my head atm and will be in with my skidders on the rear

Ken's been kind enough to let me work in my car instead of his. I'm at the point now that I can see the definitive light at the end of the tunnel, and have been able to ascertain that it is in fact the end, and not a steam train heading my way.

 

It's looking darn good for being fully finished tomorrow before lunch, and I'm pretty certain it'll be running tonight.

 

Anyways, time to get some food and keep going with it. I'm having to modify things as I come across them, but this is turning into quite a successful two day build.

 

I'm looking forward to braking something tomorrow with the amount of power I'll be putting down. hahaha.

 

See you all there, and don't forget to have your bells on.

:) Sounds like we're in for some fun tomorrow. Let me know if you want a (extremely unskilled) hand in the morning.

 

Can't wait to waste some rubber tomorrow :P

Should i come in the truck?

Depends if Garnett lets me help with the build :)

There's either 3 or 4 cars coming from down here. Should be a good day.

sweet! I'm looking forward to this... it's far too hot to be indoors...

Just been doing up the maps... This should be lots of fun with lots of twisties... and I don't mean the cheese flavoured snacks...

Well that was interesting...

Was great fun... loved the 20!!

Awsome day, I loved the ke20 to, stoked Brett let me wack donuts in the carpark lol

that was pretty awesome, was my first time laying lines

 

that 20 was was the most mixed up car, ke70 parts, ke30 number plate, ke20 chassis

looked great tho

It was great to see so many guys come out, and the lengths they went to to get cars on the road to attend.

 

I'm thinking either late January or early February for another one... What's everyone think of that? Next time there should be a few new additions to the lineup. I'll have at least two of my T18s and Ken should have his KE10 done by then...

oh man sounds like i missed a good cruise!

 

Next time tho.

 

Might have to organise borrowing a rolla tho.
