Was so disapointed. I flew to wellington to pick my car up and it wasnt done :evil: They said they had it all together and went to turn it on and didnt start. Checked the wiring and it was all stuffed so as i was flying there they were trying to re-wire the whole car and i got there it was stripped again and paint work needed to be done. But they got it running and it sounded like a beast with the lumpy cams. I cant wait to get it here but have alot more work to do to it. Found out that the car was a race car and had been betten up :cry: Big learning curve for me aha. I got only a couple of pics as i was just angry at the guy and didnt take much. But need some parts if anyone has any. Roof lining, carpet, gauges, radiator and a diff so i can weld it up haha. But enough talking here is some pics...
