hahaha the 3 Stripe Tusken Raiders!!! Yeah remember that bloke Wimpy who used to live in the Shoppo, always eating some foul smelling food outside of Woolies! My brother reckons they're all still there, just older! Should be a laugh to go back, I might see if I can get a grant from HBC to study the local chav population. I still read the Runcorn world on the interweb, great for a laugh!
So where in Melbourne are ya, we should catch up for a Runcorn Bevvie, I used to be a local in the Navvie!!!

I`m an ex Frodsham High boy. I remember the Grange and the Heath though. My cousins went to the Heath. I`m from the class of `87-`92, a bit younger than you dudes!!
Also remember the Shitty City well. Saturday morning shopping with the folks, great (not!).
No wonder everyone has moved over here!
My local always will be the Bulls Head in Frodsham, on the way up to the Mersey View!
Cheers

The Bull's Head, now you're talking. Never has there been a pub with such a huge amount of gorgeous student girls ever. We used to start in the Bulls head and work our way down to the Bears Paw before getting an Indian and going home. Isn't the navvie the one on the canal in the Old town? The Windmill was my local but we'd go to the Barge in the Summer or Liverpool was always an option.

Ah the Bears Paw!! Had many a wry conversation with the sheep shaggers of Frodsham in there!!! lol, All my old teachers used to drink in there it got quite embarrasing!! Yeah the Navvie was on the canal, I got turfed in there in the 1996 European Cup Final when Germany won Czech Rep. in the final. Being born in Germany gave me instant "bombed our chippy, Stan Boardman" markings!!! Bastards, all good fun, i just dragged meself out slopped back to the bar, finished me pint of Guinness and got the Landlord, Dave to furnish me with some suitable breeches!! Happy Days!

you really have gone to extremes! work like that makes guys like us smile dude, so the kind words are more than worth it.
its always great to see such care and meticulous detail, a lot of blood, sweat and beers have gone into your car no doubt.
you said the engine was temporary (i wish my temporary engine was as shiny... more chrome than my entire car) what is the replacement going to be? subaru perhaps?
Daniel - hoping the hsc is multiple choice

Thanks for the kind words guys, yes it's been a lot of work but 'I' think it's been worth it!
The motor is a temporary measure, scooby power is the big plan..... watch this space!
However, first thing on the list of jobs to do is fit up the new brakes. I've managed to get hold of a full set of HUGE discs and calipers from a late model BMW M3, for the bargain price of £102.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (thats A$250.48)
check out my 'winnings' here.......

The hidden hinges are, (or rather 'were' as they're no longer available) a kit from Machine7 here in the UK.
The 'A' post seam was then just zipped off and welded up🙂
here's a few (more) pics.................
............ hope that helps!
