Well, save for a couple of minor cosmetic issues, (have to paint the tray and combing rails and cover the floor at the sides of the seat), she's pretty well done.

Heading to Canberra for the first Auzzie FTE get together at the "Shannons Wheels" car show. Should be huge.

Check out the new gallery shots.

RottonRon,

Very sweet ride! I am wondering, did you fab up the front bumper/grill guard? I really like the way it looks.

I also see that it's right hand drive. Can't be too many of them around.

Are you going to use it for work at all? A daily driver, perhaps?

Either way, I think it looks terrific!

Cheers,

John

Open and check out the gallery shots. There's a bit of detail there regarding the 8 stud / wheels / hubs etc.
If you want more specifics, drop me a line.

Cheers.

Wasn't too bad. Fortunately, the basics were pretty good, (little to no rust to speak of).
It's not up to show quality, it was meant to be a nice, neat, cruiser, with some attitude.

Cheers.

Your daughter has good taste.
Melbourne's not bad, although, I prefer Brisbane.
While you're there, make sure they take you out to see some of the countryside, and some of the smaller towns.

Hope you like it when you come over.

Cheers.
