Glad to hear you are stoked Bec, I'm doing all I can to push it through as promptly as I can. 14 hour days is the best I can manage at the moment
(better than the 20 hour plus days last year leading up to warwick getting the rad bug and the oval ready!).....will shoot through some more pics as
progress continues!
Al
PS the paint should come up very nicely after the colour sanding process, its pretty nice off the gun but it will make a world of difference.

Busy weekend for Bec and Aaron....I'll let you guys update your progress.
Things are progressing well with the colour sanding process, very labour intensive but well worth the effort.

WOW Das!! I cannot believe the clarity of reflections you get in your paint jobs!! Simply unbelieveable. Brilliant work. I have read many of your
build up threads and I think Bec and Aaron are very fortunate to have you doing their body and paint work.
Can't wait to see this thing complete again....should be a knockout!!

Has a nice big turbo (well not big compared to Aaron's) in its rear though.
Don't let Troy (typeIIIking) read your prediction though (fastest type III at warwick)....them's fighting words!

Tomorrow windscreen man coming over. We will start on window mech, door locks and rubbers, thermo fans and intercooler. busy busy little bees we

Quick up date, bec and I worked flatout all day today. we had a few set backs, as usual when theres a dead line. But we fitted 2 spal 12'' thermos,
barrel cooler (with out water), electric water pump,door windows and stuf.
We bled the cooling system then I got to drive it around the block (no windows front or rear guards or deck lid). feels really good,taking note of
tranny, converter turbo and brakes.
We should have all the guards and windows in sun-mon, but don't konw if i have time to get it to the dyno because i'm still doing 12hr days.
It might be another street tune with darter logging.
Neeeed sleeeep!
I'm know i'm not the only one..
