Thanks Marty! Our house is a 1913 villa so all the front is double brick but we are keeping that lay out. There has been a few engineering solutions needed that have cost a few extra dollars. Like using a steel support beam about 1/3 the size it should - old time engineering or just people doing it themselves. Ive painted this whole house and hated it so have budgeted in the pros to do the this reno.

Makes me looking at AP brake kits from the UK feel cheap when messing with houses.

Attended what turned out to be the last coffee and cars Unley the other day. Was post night shift so i woke up at like 4am for this event, had a nice hills drive beforehand (we are currently living up there during the renos) and met a few fellow ford friends.

Seems they have decided that too many people leaving the meet in an excited fashion is enough and the organizers have called it off. I just love the variety of these things, like have a look at this trike - motor on the front wheel with a giant chain and a stick into the cabin to turn the thing. How awesome!

House is coming along well, found a few more areas of 70s engineering which have been fixed and a nice unexpected cost increase to go with it. Its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but fingers crossed.

Coffee and cars seem to be a thing at the moment. My car club had it's first recently and had a pretty good turnout. Our club is growing fast, we are having to source different venues for our cruises due to the numbers attending- parking space and eateries the biggest factor. We had more than 90 cars last night, usually it's about 50.

Yeah I think the relaxed vibe and the fact you can attend and be gone by early morning it appeals to many.

I like the diversity the most.

Yes I did see the new price tag once a motor has been fitted. Hope you got it’s worth for it.

What’s the plan now with the motor etc?

I sold the car for a decent amount, obviously not decent enough going on his sale price lol.. The motor was sold to a guy in Sydney a few yrs ago now, if you go to my yellow van thread it is in there.

It's one of those things that once you've owned/built your ultimate car or even house you enjoy it for a while then the novelty wears off and you move on to do something else, that's my theory.
Yeah got a few vans and a bubble arch mk1 still to have some action set upon them yet..
I will be starting another thread on a mk1 Escort once I get time and motivation again soon

Few months over due but the house is almost finishing besides a fair bit of paint, some paving, and all the small things that you just have to pull your finger out and do.

Ive got a few ton of road base being delivered on my next run of days off and then i can bring the car home from storage, which it is now in its second run of. Be nice to have it home. Anyway heres some shots from coffee and cars Unley which is now cancelled due to actions of a few mustand owners. I really miss the car or atleast a car.

They are just off the shelf narvas.

I have oem rally pack lights but have not put them on yet, I’d hate to break them - I love the ford logo In the glass. Finding others nowadays would be really hard.

And also these being a pretty modern light work really well.

I’ve thought about cibies but they are a just a bit large and not keen on a 2 up/2 down config atm. Plus buying 4 cibies is damn costly.

Nice. Well they look great, would def pass as rally pack lights at first glance. Cibies are huge and can definitely become a focal point lol.

Size wise they are almost the same, although they are all plastic. A real function over form/originality issue here. Lol
