IT'S ARRIVED !!!
After a nervous wait, the IFS finally arrived last Wednesday, cleared Customs on Thursday and hit the back of our old black truck on Friday.
Outside the customs agent's warehouse. The nice composite packing case used by Ted looks a little ominous in there, especially seeing that there is an investigation currently underway in Brisbane into the questionable transport practices of some of our local funeral companies.
Then it was off to Scott's place (Oz Venom) where the transplant will take place. Here's Scotty removing the coffin with his forklift.
Mmmm. Here it is.
These Wilwoods will be a huge improvement over the old MGB brakes. Hope I don't stand it on its nose first time out!
Now if we can just clear some of that other stuff out of here we can get started on an
important job!
I must give thanks to Ted Lathrop and the crew at Fast Cars Inc. Ted has been incredibly helpful in our dealings, and after a short delay due to a backlog of work at his place, the goods arrived when Ted said they would. All the paperwork had been attended to efficiently and passed through customs smoothly, everything that had been ordered was included, the assembly was bolted to the bottom of the crate so that it couldn't move, and all appears at first inspection to be in good condition. I'm not expecting any gremlins to raise their ugly heads, and hopefully without boring you all too much I'll be posting pics as the work progresses.
While the front end is out I'm taking the opportunity of replacing the old brass radiator with a new alloy one. I'm in two minds about going away from the original style radiator but it's developed a few weeps over the years as you would expect and I think alloy is now the way to go.
