Thanks-I see from your work that the 5'' angle grinder has become your best friend as well.If my plans come together as I am hoping-I will be able
to have a run with you at Portland next Feruary.I plan on getting to Warwick to catch up with all you Blokes again.

Amazing.
Where's the rest of it, Gary.......or are you just a 'Front man'?
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I'm not sure if I want to be a 'lert'. What is a 'lert', anyway?

Been in Sydney for a week-got home late last night,so not much action.Put all the front suspension,steering, brakes,pedals and shifter on tonight and
finished the beading in the front guards.What do all you Blokes use for shockers front and rear-anything fancy or just standard stuff?

Cars looking the part, good work
Shocks depend on budget.....for drags tho, I tend towards Koni rear for adjustability and very worn out stock fronts, the type with no oil left in
them for the front  .....or Koni's in the front to, but you'll need to
get them revalved, but then you get adjustability in the front too.

Could also try rancho 9000's, 5 point adjust by a knob or in cab. I've used them in my bus for over eight years, tuning them as my power
increased.
Looking very cool!!!

I use stock oil KYB at the front and KYB gas offroad for the rear.
Adsjustable is good if you need to dial it in,
and your extra rear weight will require some interesting spring rate,
and thus a shock that can control it.

Ive got LJ torana 90/10s on the front. Off the shelf from pedders. They have very short travel so no need for limiting straps.

Now there's a good tip!.... Have been looking into 90/10's for a while now.... You wouldn't have a part number would you? 
Cheers for that Ben....

Ben-fitted the headlight decals,very nice.I buggered the first one up-couldn't get all the air bubbles out.So made a weak soap solution and sprayed
the area-went on like a dream-thanks for organising.Will fix you up in Warwick.Started on the panel to go across the body-done the lower bit.Fitted
all the rear end now-brakes and hoses,drive shafts,torsion bars etc.Bought this 12volt solenoid valve to go in the suction line to the dry sump
tank-will be energised with the ignition switch.

Love those headlight decals..... Very cool.... Hadn't noticed the steering column placements before.... Did you lift the beam/framehead up on the
pan?
