Elmo the fat chick

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 ]

Thanks PBB, and congrats on the award.

Paint looks too damn clean in those pics. Think there's still plenty of work to do.

And yes Rossko the bastards are done... smartarse

hehehe

Oh and before Empi gets on here again:
Thanks for the extra bling, and I know it will be going lower now the tyres give me a lot more to play with. 😀

Elmo is very cool! wasn't he the one behind the TinkerBeetle on the cruise?

Time is a great healer. Unless it's a rash, then you're better off with ointment.

Because I didn't have another grown up in the car, and the kids were in the back playing on their gameboys, the pic isn't the best....and I should have had my eyes on the road LOL

Awesome! I'll have to give him a ring to see if he needs any of the stuff off the wreck in my yard.
