Unfortunately there won't be much oportunity to drive it on the street till after the nationals. The dump pipes are going back on along with the race rubber in preparation. Some quiet side pipes will go on when I get back from Wakefield.
I think your right Rob. I certainly felt like a weight was lifted when I drove out. And the car seemed to run and drive better too. It was a very enjoyable drive home.
Slowy, With the VIN number I found it was hard to make clean impression in the chassis. The rails are some fairly hard steel and it's tight to get in there with a hammer to take a decent swing. Double stampings are a no no i.e. where your first hit didn't make a good impression so you sit the punch in the groove and have a nother hit. You can end up with a bit of a double image and they won't approve it. I ended up getting a strip of steel and using my hydraulic press to press the numbers into it. I then welded the strip to the chassis. I've got a good set of number and letter punches that are the right size if you need them.
Paul, the forum has been a great place to meet new friends with a common interest. I'm looking forward to finally meeting up with heaps of people from on here as I get to different events around the place.
Get cracking Dale, you cant be far off rego.
Cheers
