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

I hope your seat belts work well dude otherwise your face is gonna look like burger meat from hitting the windscreen everytime you brake 🤪
What diameter are those discs? Standard WRX fronts?

The turbo's on that Ferrari look like they cold give Jenna Jameson a run for her money, they're bloody massive 😁

well got to Brissy just fine - have had a few blasts around he backroads, but just 1st and 2nd gear stuff - its heaps of fun! Its too low though i think - it hits the deck sometimes through boost. Be nice to be able to cruise at 100k and see how it feels, or even around town, but that will have to wait for rego.

be good fun at warwick - it'll be very tamed.

Mick,

I can meet you at the karalee Woolies around 12.00ish. You would have pretty much gone passed it on your way to karana. We can then maybe meet Troy at the servo just before Willowbank around 12.30ish. It should then take no more than 1 1/2 hours at a leisurely pace to Warwick.

either way give me a call tonight

Cheers
