New Purchase

I've recently bought this car. It's got a few things to play with on it before it's ready to race again, as it's been stored for 4 or 5 years now. I'll get there, hopefully by the start of next year it will be ready again.

Thankfully, most of the hard work has been done. Hope you folks enjoy the pictures.

Hi buzzed. I sent you a pm. I only have limited history on the car as it really only has a limited competition history. As I said above, I'm just tidying up a few things before I go for a pre-event scrutineering check to see what else needs to be done.

I had seen this car for sale on an australian web-site... Seemed pretty resonable, hope to see it on the track in the near future...
Best of luck..

I saw this on My105 (I think) and thought it looked good.

What events do you plan to run? Would like to see it out on the track.

More pics can be found on the link below:

OzMidnight - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I am nearly done with the wiring and the dash now...pics are on the seocnd page. I'll take some more when that is done. Then I might look at removing the bits of soundproofing left in the car and plating the floor here and there. First page pics is as I bought the car. The previous owner has done a fair bit of sorting work under the car.

I've had to delay things a bit as I've stored the car an hour away from me, due to sale of our home, current rental conditions and building a new home. Must say, my frustration levels are mounting daily with it. It's only got about three to four hours work left before it is ready - I just couldn't quite get there before our home was sold....it sold in a day and a half!
