We are fortunate to have Phil's beast "Grover" back in our workshop for some more fab work around the engine bay/load beds and then some paint on the underside/treasure chest/engine bay as well. Dzus fasteners will hold down the hinge rear tray sections: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a...

I think they quoted me around $165 inc to narrow a 17in alloy.

Dion, a few drinks never hurt, a lot of drinks are even better though

Looks ace! Will be very slick once done :) Who do you use for wheel narrowing Al? Do they narrow low pressure cast like an Escra? Dino, we used to use a place on the nord end of the gold coast but they have since shut down (had a couple sets of Fuchs narrowed previously). Using a different place th...

Rude question, PM if you like. But what's one of those bad boys cost? All good Jase, just a smidge under $2K including installation - obviously includes the canvas but not headliner (or wiring which I assume we'll run the necessary fused feed and earth up to the control unit). I just googled Webast...

Liking the rags

At least its a three fold

Tonz, Jase is right, 205/50 17 That rim is a 7in with ET43 The new rear rims will be ET35 and will run a 225/50 17 on the rear and probably 185/45 17 (if I can find them again) with an ET45. New wheels will be a love em or hate em deal, but you have to be different every now and then! We always get ...

Nice one guys, great day for it....one day I'll have a bloody luft cooled VW to cruise in again, not quite the same in a T5 work van

Thanks mate, thought I'd check as I've read between the lines of a few comments in the past re. the prices of our parts, cheers for clearing it up

Thanks for stopping by Tonz, Bruce, Leon and a few other riff raffs this arvo. Always a good excuse to catch up. Nug your oval is a huge credit to you mate, it was really a stand out of the day, very well done sir. George, spewing I missed you at the show but unfortunately it was only a brief visit ...

Its already soiled and stained so I'm sure a bit of extra "patina" won't hurt its appearance

Alright, lock it in eddie.

I have to swing through a friend's son's birthday party on the way back to the coast so lets say from 1pm on, unfortunately can't get there any earlier.

See you all at the show....and then down at the workshop from 1.

If Sunday arvo is ok (for everyone except Nug which is a bugger), lets aim for that as it sounds like a mid week gig is going to be too hard for everyone. Yep Bruce, Katie and the kids will be coming along so partners/kids are welcome of course. I'll put on some food (bbq) and a carton to kick off f...

Cool, anyone else up for the sunday arvo option?? Could be good for Brucey on the way back home, bit if too-ing and fro-ing for you brissy folks, but it is sunday after all.

Sounds good, will wait to see when Tonz and George might be able to make it....Sat arvo, or Sunday arvo after the show??

Tues arvo, or Thurs arvo maybe if the weekend is no good?

Weather is looking average for sunday unfortunately but hopefully forecast improves. I'll be shooting up for the morning, no trade stand etc as I have to get back to the coast for some family stuff. Tonz, since you and George are in the QLD vicinity at the same time....was thinking of trying to tee ...

Yep yep....Fortunate for me, I'll be there.

Tonz, should try and catch up whilst you are in town mate (well 45 minutes from town at least).
