Sounds good Matt. Can you keep that 2.78 diff aside for me? I think I'll end up running 2.78...

Thanks Benny, hear you are happily cruising around still.
My mates are all jealous of your car... I am too. They all seem to live around your way, I think you live on the same street as Kade (VR/S clubby I think it is).

Yeah, every spare second I get I'm working away.
Just got out of hospital with Kidney problems... Which is good and bad, I'm not allowed to work which means plenty of time to get stuff done (going easy) on the torana, but lack of work makes a lack of money and therefore things I can do to the torana.
Kinda sucks though, I get enthusiastic to get out and work on the torana but due to my medication, after a while my joints and muscles ache alot which sucks for anyone, letalone me being 18 years old.
I went back to work this week which is good but won't be paid tilll next week :(
But money or not, there's always something to be done.

Got some wheels on it and rolled it out of the shed! The first time I have ever seen the car on all four wheels, snapped a few quick pictures with my camer phone then it had to be rolled back in...
