The car will be at the SA Hotrods Street Festival at Killarney on Sunday.
It won't be completely finished - still need to build a new steering wheel and a few other bits & pieces - I thought the show was the 30th :oops: :oops:

I will also have a metalshaping clinic set up - so come on down and have a go if you've "always wanted to learn that"

Ok - so we got to the show and had a fantastic response on the car!!
As usaul I forgot to get pics, but will get some up in a couple of days. SFDT put some up elsewhere.

The car wasn't running happily on the way there though - wouldn't ptck up revs and seemed to be missing intermitently.
After the show it died on the way out. Coil was dead - swapped it out and it ran for a little then died again.
Hopefully I'll get that sorted out today and get it to Jurgen for the brakes (one rear wheel cylinder is fcuked) as well as a general once over.
Interior need a few things - Sam will redo the door cards - it was a bit rushed and I don't like how they turned out. One or two small things to sort out still, but I can heartily recommend him!!
Still need to organise/build a new steering wheel and sort out some issues on the pedals too.
