April 28, 200422 yr Author comment_8537 Fixed speedo and brakes today, things are finally going well I think. Have a few things left to do, should hopefully finish them tomorrow in time for engineering/roadworthy on Friday morning.. *cross fingers* Report
April 28, 200422 yr Author comment_8547 In all honesty I'd probably be able to do QMS3 in it. Should have rego (hopefully) by Friday evening, wheel alignment etc Saturday... But I shouldn't. Really. I'll be good. QMS4 I'll take it out. Report
April 29, 200422 yr Author comment_8617 Installed air filter today: The metal shield on top of the air filter is to prevent water coming off the bonnet from splashing on the air filter cause the air filter is sitting so close to the side of the engine bay... Report

April 30, 200422 yr Author comment_8630 Car is registered!!! A few things to sort out yet, but it's registered - that's the important bit :) Report
April 30, 200422 yr Author comment_8638 Itch? OH YEAH... but no, still have issues with it. Need to rewire a section of the car cause i'ev blown up 2 circuit breakers already ($60!!!!), engine bay too hot I think. Will reroute to the cabin. At the moment it's running unfused, which isn't really very ideal. Also thermostat is dead I think. And water in radiator is more brown than green. But bloody hell it's FUN TO DRIVE :) Burns my "good rubber" without even thinking. I SO NEED A LOCKER OR AN LSD... Tomorrow get wheel alignment :D YAY. Report
April 30, 200422 yr Author comment_8639 And oh gawd insurance is SO NOT CHEAP. I'd better not crash this thing... Shannons want me to send them photos, will need to get onto that sometime. Which means I should also take photos... But somehow I don't think they'd be too interested, they are more into collectors cars etc, and my car is rather rough. Just Car Insurance want $311 just for 3rd party, $611 for Fire & Theft, I didn't bother asking about Full Comp. And I can only claim up to market value of the car to a maximum of $3000 (if uninsured driver crashes into me). Mind you, market value of the car is $700. HMM. My access itself is $1200. Doesn't seem very logical to insure it does it? Maybe I'll just not insure it. Would be nice to at least have 3rd party though... Will see what Shannons say. In the meantime, MUST NOT CRASH CAR.

April 30, 200422 yr comment_8640 better be carefull then dude you don't want to destroy such a beautiful thing Report
April 30, 200422 yr comment_8641 yeah, thats correct fook... not cheap as i found out the hard way. Dad and i did our sums (this is true, and slightly amuzing lol) - it was cheaper for us 2 get 3rd party than 2 get the full compro insurance because if i crash it and write it off - it would be cheaper to get another 1 and put all the good bits left from mine into another 1 heheheheh - :) Report
April 30, 200422 yr Author comment_8642 Oh believe me I definately don't WANT to crash, but you never know what happens right? Report
April 30, 200422 yr comment_8643 w000t congrats fook... don't it feel great when you walk outta qld transport with those expensive peices of tin? :D /me's having a ball drivin round in Sakichi :) Report
April 30, 200422 yr comment_8644 lol i know the feeling - fook, after seeing u drive, and hering many stories - i reallllly doubt that u will crash it - if anything, some 1 would crash into u becuase they are lookin are ur cool car.... SMASH (whooops) Report
April 30, 200422 yr comment_8646 Where are you getting the wheel alignment? Are you going to see the boys at Pedders? R (Hurrrah for Hal!!) Report
