Elmo the fat chick

ruckus · 2004-10-20T09:16:11+00:00

Well here she is. She's just had her engine rebuilt - nothing fancy yet, all stock. Body-wise she's ok. Stupid council in Geelong dropped a cherry picker on the roof a while ago (we think) and there are still a few dimples - don't know if they'll show up or not. Some rust in the usual places (bottom of doors etc) but won't really know till we get her stripped. She'd had a really bad paint job before we bought her a while ago. Pan's stuffed as you'll see in later pics. The rear window was leaking for a while and stuffed the footwell behind the passenger and the rear parcel shelf. Immediate plans: Rebuilt balljoint/IRS pan with front disks (if I can bloody find or build one) Koni's all round. 914 rims 😀 And maybe a Ragtop Any suggestions? [ Edited on 23-12-05 by ruckus ]

At least we are now left with the good bits. Just got the box out of the car after a lengthy battle with the biggest bloody Redback I've ever seen! Gave me the shivers after remembering having that side of the box against me when taking it to the car.

Ah well... off to Bunnings 🙂

Doc: just to let you know I haven't been slacking off.

Still the fine bits to do so I'll have to get a brush for the drill i think.
Oh and the case prefix is 'AH' which I think means that it is an early super

Yeah Doc that'll keep 'em guessing. Thanks again for all your work Yesterday. When I was asked what I got done later on I had to say:

"Well Doc did this and this and this..."

(Em) "And what did you do?"

"I can't remember doing anything other than pushing down on a hammer"
