Ty, had to take the cage out to go through roadworthy, haven't got around to putting it back in. I'll do it soon. [:p] Yeah, I loved the superlites I had on there, but they were too thin. Makes it look a lot tougher from behind with these on there.  Still not sure what I'm going do to with the purple car. I know I'm going to swap over the diff and front end with the green car. Then I'll either sell it as is, or clean it up a bit, put an engine in then sell it completed. Oh, and I'll take some more pictures for you soon. I only have the Simmons on one side, because there's a lock nut on the purple car so I have to find a way to get the others off. [B)] And I'm having a problem with the green car. Really bad shake in the steering. Went up around a month ago to have it aligned, and the guy said that the steering arms and ball joints are going to need to be replaced. He tightened them up there, and it was right for a few weeks, was really bad the last time I drove it though, so I've got to check that out too. Argh. [xx(] Oh well, it's almost finished.

to get a lock nut off, get a socket that is a little smaller and whack it on, then you can use the handel and remove it. ask any car theive and they will tell you this....(not that i am or have been one of them, just used to work in a car yard and had to remove mags many times)

yer, it had a 2lt pinto with a 5speed celica gearbox and had the airfilter hanging out the bonnet, also had 4 VDO gauges with 3 toggle switches in the middle, had a autometer 4inch tacho also the boot was done and yer some more stuff. But with the gearbox that was in it, it went through so many throw out bearings it's not funny. he whish he still had it cause he reckone's it would have a 13bt in it, and i also whish he still had it cause i loved the thing just as much. anyways here some pictures of when my bro used to own it, sorry about the pictures there not all that great.

Hey eskie man.
Did your older brother buy the car off John Cutler? in brisbane?
he built the car. i think your brother bought it off him and then my mate bought the car off your brother and i bought it off my mate....
i have plenty of pics too. i made some changes to the car when i had it and so has blake.. i have pics of the changed i made if you would like them just shoot me an email and i can email you the pics.
i think everyone who has sold that car regrets it [V]
