Let me know when the fans arrive Dave and we will sort out the balance/refund.
By the way Spookypt, I have been cntacted by your mate and he is flying down to Sydney next Friday to inspect the Grange.
Thanks for the heads up, but I'm still not happy in having to sell the car. If Alistair does buy it, I'll miss it like you wouldn't believe, as it's the best car I have ever owned besides the Cobra of course, but you've got to keep the missus happy. He will be getting a great vehicle. I will discuss visiting rights with him when the deal is done.

No worries Baz, Road freight from Sydney to Alice is generally a full working week.
So I reckon I will see it maybe Tuesday/Wednesday.
Cheers again.

That's great news Dave. I'm glad they arrived in one piece. I really couldn't see how they could get damaged with the amount of bubble wrap I packed them in.
Talk to me about postage. Did they increase the cost because of the strange parcel shape? If not, let me know and I will send you a cheque foer the balance.
I want some pics when they are fitted into the nose.

Bolt them on the back and they'll be just the ticket when the flood waters hit the Alice.

Talking of floods in Alice, although nothing like what QLD is copping.
Last year we where 12mm short of a new record for rainfall in recorded history, and so far this year as of midnight 10/01/2011 we where 18mm short of total rainfall for all of 2009.
So far for 2011 the Todd river has flowed twice already, and we are expecting 100mm of rain (that is a bucket load out here) over the next 40 hours and the river will be flowing again.

Spookypt,
I know he will fall madly in love with it when he sees the car. The hardest thing will be driving it back to Qld as all the roads are cut and look like staying that way for some time.

I had some new lights turn up today, these should go well with the twin fan setups.

No less legal than mass flow efi on a 5.0 windsor with trickflow heads a cam and rockers that has not been emission tested, or sidepipes on the east coast.
Or dash mounted mirrors, or no crash pad on dash top, or no cover over sunvisors, or chrome dash gauge surounds, or polished alloy steering wheels etc etc.

I was interested to see if their status had actually changed. Thanks for that.
Point taken about the visors, dash mirrors, etc. By the way, I was officially advised by QLD Transport that the "mass flow efi on a 5.0 windsor with trickflow heads a cam and rockers that has not been emission tested", is just fine and did not need re-inspection when I formally enquired. Also, my alloy steering wheel was fully approved by engineering and QT. May be different in others states and territories.

Same as chrome dash gauge surounds mine was passed in QLD with these fitted as was the polished steering wheel. I was told these lights would not be legal in QLD maybe they have changed the rules?

Christ Dave, you sound like a NSW RTA Inspector.
By the way, has the cheque arrived yet?

I love those lights Boxhead, I'm hoping I get through without having to change them for legal ones!

Sorry Merv, just sick and tired of people jumping up and saying "are those legal" weather it be lights or fans or anything else we do to our cars, yet often those same people happily admit that when they left engineering or where ever, the bits needed to fit to comply "fall off".
In regards to what parts are legal where, I was thinking QLD was not far behind NSW, I guess not though.
It is silly as in NT I was approved for all things like, chrome surrounds, alloy/timber steering wheel, no dash pad, side pipes etc as it was what made the car "period correct" as per the originals. And it is after all a replica.
Regarding the lights, from what I know, if they are "E" marked they are ok.
