A bit of an update....
Especially for those of you in Dattoland who love the metalwork / repair stuff...
my mate has done some awesome work recently..
making patchs for in front of and behind the rear left wheel arch,
and formed new customised wheel arch, with a very subtle flare, to help clear
the rear feet, once it is lowered

Bede, Hadlee is doing it for me (H-Bomb Customs & Classics)
He generally does American cars / muscle cars etc, but has done a few smaller cars like lotus 2 door cortinas, minis, Rx7's and the likes too (and of course he did Wilbur for me).

Recent purchases:
Laser cut 10mm alloy manifold ex: australia. cost me a fortune but will make
my custom manifold fabrications 100x easier.
Koni Adjustable rear shox
Spontaneous half drunk trailer purchase..., to move coupe around over coming months
whilst it is being built. if anyone in Timaru ever needs a trailer to borrow - yell out.
