Will be taking parts off another VP commy that i found down the back of a mechanix place near me. I approached him and he said "yeah go for it", any part you want $20.00.  Will be grabbing the computer and engine loom today maybe the auto if i can get it out plus much much more. Unfortunately the motor is cactus but still lots of sensors i can grab.  ;D :D

well i finally got started on my sheet metal yesterday, so now we will start to see some changes. Also have settled on my rims, will be going for 15x8s, design i will reveal at a later date, $280 a rim, so once i get them sometime in the next month, we can do the new flared guards, just have to look at and price which tyres now. Next week we will be setting out my new custom grill, we  just have to mark it out on steel so it can be lazer cut, also have all my new lights, front and rear. xmas in may and june and july aaannndd lol.

UPDATE:
W.A Transport, the latest is that Qld Trans: have a complete record of the stamp duty i paid, but w.a refuse to accept my receipt unless it has a breakdown of costs, which it does not, because qld dont do breakdowns on their receipts, thats a breakdown in itself. lol  ;D W.A told me that if i dont provide a receipt, then i can expect to sort it out in the courts, i told them that it would be the biggest mistake they have made next to sending me the bill. But they are happy to drag it out and let the interest accumilate on a daily basis, so folks, it looks like this could be heading to the lawers unless w.a come to their senses, and loose that tunnel vision mentality. I wont be paying these fruitloops $8,500-00, so it looks like they will be going to war with one very angry amputee. So i guess we just see how this all plays out now, [who dares wins] and i thought building a beddy was frustrating. lol  ;D at least i wont die of bordem. lol  ;D :o ::) ???

george,
gather up all your paper work - find out who is the minister for transport in each state send then both copies.then send the same to the transport minister in oppision in canberra and then fax a copy to
a current affair sit back and wait.
Just a thought.
The media loves a bungle

have been sanding the old pa10 of the brand new front guard and apron i bought of trademe, a panelbeater had it hanging in his garage for years and moved on so gave it to his brother to get rid off, still has the part number on it and a lot of service rust so it needs to be stipped back to metal and treated





also have double collars fitted to the rear axles with brand new bearings and redrilled for hq pattern


been fitting new shockies off a mitsi pajero 4x4, gas shocks with early chev bases, am modifying the bottom wishbonesto fit



more to come cheers stevo ;D ;D ;D ;D

thats a great idea craig (the media),
if i were George i would threaten WA registery with getting the media and accurant affairs involved.
that usually gets them backpeddeling real fast.
