Thanks for the comments guys. Agree, it needs some bumperettes. Have a few pairs, just need rechroming. Paint was done by Superlook Paint and Panel in Port Macquarie about 8 years ago. Ive ordered the leafs but they dont get here till next Monday. Should get around 30-50mm lower. I can then chuck some blocks under if i want to be cop bait.[:u] Next performance mods are the watts link on the Borg Warner Phil. Then hopefully back onto the engine with a few tweaks and additions. Shes already a ball of fun  But they can always go faster[88]

Yep meguirers is good stuff and ive always used it. Seems to last a lot longer than others ive tried.[%] The belts are there to prevent having the bonnet as a temporary sunshade at 150+kph[:x)] Its awesome being a sleeper. Keeps em guessing. [:u] Had a few Boss 290's round me up today in a car park on the foreshore to give me a flyer to the Singleton show this coming weekend but unfortunately i'll be at the Newcastle All Ford Day at Doyalson. quote:

Keep them guessing alright. I passed you a few weeks back near kotara and you wouldn't know it has a SR20 in it. Just sounded like an escort 2ltr. I was keen on going to that doyalson show but my esky is in many pieces.. Motor dramas [xx(] But their will be another time
