Clearly none of these terrible projects have any funding. Here's a fully dedicated performance car with no limitations that might inspire you to spend a bit more time and money on your vehicles. No offence but what I've been seeing here really just doesn't cut it

Here's Tracie's.

Before

1st after.

2nd after and now.
Posted Image

Had it regestered for 12 mths after we got it, drove it for a month then pulled a few bits off to get the rust done. Car sat at panelbeaters for 2 1/2mths with nothing happening so we picked it up and brought it home and pulled afew more bits off.

Now it sits just waiting for me to get the last of the reno's finished on the house so i can get stuck into it.

Lesson learnt 'if you want something done, do it yourself.'.

Hopefully with all the other projects and how- to's on here i can tackle the job myself, just got to get the confidence to start

I agree with you. If you want the confidence, I can't recommend the TAFE Car Restoration Course enough. Basically a short panel-beating course delivered over two semesters (a year). Happens and night, and everybody is there cause they want to be, so it is all good.

The boys with his new spoiler and his mothers wheels on.

Increase the fun, and put a front spoiler on for him, then run a book on how long it will stay intact on the car.

do you drive through ulladulla all the time?

That I imagine would be "nutboy". He is in Ulladullah. Fair few Torries down there down the coast.

Just as well you had over-riders on there Col, would hate to see the damage if they weren't there!!!
