I have had Craig get back to me at midnight before. I guess when you're so busy you reply when you can |

Excuse the 4WD look! Just wanted to add that Craig's crew raised the car in order to get the Cobra on and off the truck. I need to drop the car about 1.5-2" by adjusting the coilovers.

Looks great Simon. It must be great to have it in the garage!
How excited is your boy? Or should I ask who is more excited out of you two? 
Happy birthday! (And Xmas...)

Great to see the arrival.
Looks great.
Did he send my wheels down on the truck?

Congrats on finally getting your Cobra home, she is a beauty.
Have you put a lounge cushion in and sat in it yet, making broom broom noises dreaming of Sunday drives to come
Good luck and looking forward to more photos as you progress |

Hi Simon,
Well the day has finally arrived and now the fun in the building is going to begin.
I am possibly 8 to 10 weeks away from completion and then there will be the wait for the rego.
My exhaust will be finished mid January and the next big job will be the wiring and the fitting of the windscreen.
Its great to hear the enjoyment from everyone involved.
Cheers
Brad

Thanks all for the kind wishes and likes. This is the furthest south a Pace 427SC has ever traveled! The first one in Vic.
Bernie, sorry no, there weren't any wheels in the truck. Didn't know you were expecting anything.

Simon,
No problem. Craig used my spare wheels at the Motorclassica event on the Kirkham.
Just had an email and he is freighting separately!
Enjoy playing.
I will be over to see you with Russell - another Pace 427 owner in waiting -

Nice going Simon!
The excitement you know feel will probably be turned to fear and angst in (& I guess) 8 years, when your boy turns around and says -"how bout those keys dad". Haha.
I'm both excited and horrified at the thought of when that happens to me and my girl turns two on Tuesday.  |

Hi Simon
Great to see your Pace 427 in your Workshop. 2014 is going to be a big year for Pace builders!
Have a great Christmas

Thanks Rob. Yeah, I know. I already removed it with prepsol and a cotton rag.
Anybody is very welcome to see my car if they like. I don't mind a group of people or solo visits. Just let me know. I might have to start charging admission.....lol! J/K!! |

Guye
Will do. I will check when suits Paintwerks - Simon.
We are heading over for a look - Russell is a Pace customer with an order in, so we decided a visit to talk painting etc.
I have another project that requires Paintwerks expertise.
PM sent to you with my contact details...
