I swear the sun is shining a little brighter today.
Well, I am all registered, what a great feeling.
Following is a crappy picture from my phone as proof (no picture, it did not happen)

It has only been my own fault with taking so long.
Only issue I had to fix was to fit retractable seat belts after engineer inspection, engineer was happy with them but MVR said no.

Well done Dave! Please don't reduce your contributions to the Forum now that you're done. Are you going to paint it now? We have all got used to that colour. We could have a competition to help you decide on a colour for the AS region.

I remember the Sun and green grass, mowing the acre of lawn I have and wiping sweat from my brow whilst at a stop light in my Cobra. I miss the promise of global warming! But, our spring is just around the corner (4 weeks I am told) and your fall is looming ahead as well.
Enjoy the season.

I wont be going away, still enjoy the company in here.
I already know the color it is to be, that was decided about 5 - 6 years ago.
It will be painted Devil Yellow (Monaro color) with black stripes and meatballs, it will also get a batch of the period stickers from Finishline.
Paint at this stage is planned to start in November - it is honestly too hot out here for December through February - so it will be off the road when the sun gets too hot and body work started, will be all in paint by the time of Shelbyfest 2011 (although the Ochre color has grown on me).
I left home early this morning and turned the 10kl drive to work into a 40kl circuit.

Congrats Dave,
Hard work rewarded.
Love the rego number.........been trying to think of a good one myself.
My wife suggested AC-NT......It took me a couple of seconds. 
Cheers

I say get that one Andrew.
should turn some heads.
Also, I got the brake pipe flareing tool yesterday, I did half the flares last night and the rest should be done either Friday night or Saturday, so it should be on its way back next week.
It is a very easy tool to use and gives great results. So thnaks again.
