Zelda's Trip to Melbourne

I figured I might as well document it somewhere, and here seems like the place to do it I guess. At 11:30pm on the 9th of March I will be leaving from Adelaide to Melbourne for the ILV show on the 10th of March. I have a few things that need to be done before this trip can be made. The major one being the wheels are done. The second is hoping that the engine can be done, but I am not 100% sure that will be the case. Regardless, the trip will be made and I will be documenting it on here. I will also be documenting the leading up to the trip over the next week and a bit before leaving. I have a lot to do and not much time, so let's see how it goes.

So, one thing is for sure, Zelda needs air bags.
Rolling around that close to the guards when making a long trip like that, it definitely took it's toll on the rear drivers side tyre wall.

I'm not sure what is happening with the other body at the moment, but I'm thinking of going a completely different route after the last weekend.
I guess only time will tell.
