Hmm seems that some cool parts are missing now
Got to find myself a set of pop-out rear windows to put back in they are way cool  |

Well the green meanie has been in the wars and has a few battle wounds
Firstly selfinflicted
That happened when I left the BBQ 2 weeks back as I backed into the rear tray of a synro and embarsingly in front of Simon.
Then last Sunday night driving home in the rain a huge rhodesian ridgeback dog jumped onto the road in front of me and I didn't even get a chance to hit the brakes. Result impact at 70kph, damaged bug and dead dog.
Oh well some panel beating before I get to the spare floorpan to convert to IRS. |

Yes Hoodie I'll do the pannel work myself, I've got or am in the process of replacing the tools required that were destroyed in the bushfire. I can manage a good job but it takes me at least 4 times the length of time it takes someone with training  |

The dog was a story in itself. Didn't feel right just leaving the dead dog on the side of the road so I checked its collar. Found a number and rang it. A lady answered and I said do you own a large yellow coloured dog and she answered hapily yes I do where did you find him. Then I had to tell her it was dead and where it was [o]  |
