Looks great, did you paint in the back yard there? or is that just where you had the panels drying?

Howdy

thanks,
certainly better than after the crash LOL

Not in the backyard, We sealed up my carport with atarps and left a cap top and bottom for air and covered the ground with plastic..

Hmmm, interesting, just looking at possible options for my KG.

Unlikely it will end up being painted now though.

thanks guys.

this is the secound time I have rebuilt this fastie the first time was when we first got it its was a rolling shell and my wife and did it up, then we did a BAJA so sold it to my daughter

So I am really keen to see it back on the road.

hi peoples

The fastie has hit the road after such a long time.
we took her to last months club meeting it was real kool to be cruising up the M1 in her again.

We did not tell my daughter that she was ready we just drove her up to the meeting and when Emeline arrived at the meeting from work she nearly forgot to park her corolla before getting out of it.
When she got out of her car she ran over to the fastie screaming and jumping around the place.
then she tore the keys out of my hand and went for a drive.

here is a photo od her at the Maccas

It is not a good one, I will post some more up soon.

Marc

Well looks like Em and the fastie are off to the drive in next Friday night. Once we told her it was on she decided she just has to take Bethany for a night out.......will be a good run for it.....Friday night drive-in and Sunday KlubFest.

Oh and if she hits another refrigerator truck on the way to the drive-in.......we don't want to know!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the great comments.
