Mick058 · 2008-02-01T06:50:26+00:00

Well this girl has been in the works since 1995. I am owner number 3 and have the great job of finishing her off. I've had it since oct 07 and have enjoyed my time this far. I hope you enjoy the picks, this will put me where im upto. I still have big plans on finishing off. Now keep in mind the first set of shots are not digital, yes they are standard film!! i know, hard to believe, but this was started in 95'! Enjoy, i will post over the next day or so

Yeh, Craigy needed his trailer this time. Craig has been very generous on numerous occasions in the past, thanks mate 🙂

Brad (westi) is asking round aswell - see how we go, we may get lucky - blow to miss out, just can't fork out another $500 for the car. If anyone is willing to lend for a $100 let me know!!! i have plenty of trailer experience!

You can run an unregistered car. Drag cars aren't registered!! Simply trailer it into town Mick. Most of the drag cars/unregistered cars are trailered into town on the saturday morning!!

Hi Mick

Good news, check with Craig about whether the car needs rego, the drag cars may not have street rego but they are inspected and passed by ANDRA.

Thanks guys - really look forward to meeting you all.

I'm hoping real hard that the car will be registered, otherwise my first drive of it (well, past 60k's!) will be up the 1/8th at Warrick. i leave this weekend! Nonetheless the car will be there.

Mick Troy basically had only driven the Type 3 last year around the block so to speak before he ran it at warwick. Good place to test it out and remember be careful with that gearbox LOL.
