Well, after 2 pretty full on days it's pretty much done.

Thanks to my mates and my dad, really can't express the help I've had on this build.

Tomorrow is road worthy, Tuesday/Wednesday is back at the panel beaters getting a few things tidied up, cairns for work Thursday, Friday it's detailed, weekend is tidying up a few things then it's off for a drive to the central coast of NSW lol.

It drives great, stays nice and cool with the e series alloy radiator. Love driving it again, it's so amusing.

Few pics anyway.

Got it detailed, 2 days before i had to leave for my wedding in yamba.













Drove it out to my mrs parents place in canungra without any issues.

Monday morning loaded it up and headed off to yamba. Raining most of the way made it interesting. Got a lot of looks and thumbs up on the highway.

Arrived at the house in yamba



Tucked into the garage for a sleep lol

No issues other then the starter motor getting too hot from the exhaust, had to leave it for an hour to cool down.

Did about half an hour in soft sand and the temp came up a bit, not too worried about that, quite normal for a petrol v8 pushing a bus lol.
