Ha!! Love it!! I'm sure your missus has a fair idea of the cost man!!

I'm nearing the end of getting my HX sandy restored and have enjoyed the whole process so much I now have a HQ LS Monaro on the hoist to do it all again!!

My mrs spends time in the shed with me pulling things off and bagging and labeling them for later.

Love it.

Gaddy.

Yeh Gaddy, I don't think Katy tells me the real price of shoes or her hand bag

Crickey! Much more than meets the eye hey. I think a lot of people forget (myself inc)how much time and money can go into a resto and even into a tidy up. I had a feeling those pics were old and some of the angles were funky (trying to hide some blemishes i imagine). Anyways mate looks trick and is loads sexier than any bucket that I've got in my driveway!

I've made to Mandurah (thats how i meet sslx76 who lives very near) which I thought was a reasonable step so maybe early next year to Kewdale Gene, then that promised cruise Chris. Went on a steel bumper cruise with hundreds of cars today and made it to Mundijong so I'm getting closer.
