So the seat stays in sprung soft mode.. And allows me more comfort.
Jamo the "Moderator extraordinaire"... called it the Bernie Bubble....

Jamo ??
I thought he'd be more likely to call it the Haemorrhoid Helper.

Guys
Not a lot of performance gear over here. Plenty of electric stuff though.. 
There were two Lamborghini rent a cars but at 89 Euros for 30 minute blocks you would want to do a lot of tyre frying to get your money's worth.
..  ... Then I saw they were Rev and speed restricted. So just a drive to show off if in limp/valet mode..  as if...
Le Man may see things change.. ... For the better...

It doesnt rain much in S.A. in the summer time so the same will apply there maybe Tasmania or N.Z. where there is a bit of cloud cover
But mind you its a beautifull body (We could call it the Elle McPherson body)
Cheers
Brad

Hi Tonus
Spent last 10 days at the Absolute Pace facility where the hinges and gas struts are being fitted to the Boot and Bonnet.
When I left on monday afternoon Steve the Composite guy was finishing off the moulds for the doors with the intrusion bars in the doors so that will take a few days to complete.
I still have trouble getting my head around this fiberglass mould thing , It seems you have to be able to work in the negative or something.
I am thinking the end of next week all the body fitment will be finished and I am having a small mod the the cabin of the car but no piccies yet .
Its back to work tomorrow getting deodorant for the taxi drivers and all the things that make the base run well
Cheere
Brad

Good stuff Brad - thanks for the update.
Damn work gets in the way of all the good stuff!
I am intrigued about the 'small mod' too...
Tony
Ps - nice pics of the Gold Coast too, it would be nice to escape the cold down here at the moment!! But what is with comparing Tassie to NZ??????

Hi Tony
It was in reference to the polished Kirkham Cobra at Absolute Pace ( Elle McPherson ) body being so shiny and bright in the Queensland sunshine.
You will need a bit of cloud cover so the brightness of the shine wont hurt the eyes in the sunlight.
BMK Bernie Knight made the original reference (Originally Posted by BMK View Post
Yes the polished Kirkham looks great. But in Queensland sun.. ...)
Craig should post a few photos Stainless Steel Chassis and all .
The body mod will be revealed all in good time.
Craig White's idea and i have decided to run with it.
Cheers
Brad...........

Great to hear your body is progressing, looking forward to seeing the pics.
Keep up the great work, and don't forget the deodorant : )

Craig White's idea and i have decided to run with it.
My guesses are....
1. A WINCH for when you go bush bashing in the car ???????
2. A Bench seat???
3. A tow ball????
4. Training wheels ??
5. Rear seats ???
6. A toilet??
7. A parachute???
I give up......these are all excellent ideas, so pick one...
Cheers,
Warren

None of the above
You will just have to wait young man
Toilet would be good at my age i will give it some thought.
Options 4 and 7 are also worth some thought although it wont go fast enough for option 7
Cheers
Brad

Beautiful Car (Elle McPherson aka The Body)
The Body If your girlfriend looked like this you would never leave her
Cool Stainless Cable Ties from Snake Bite
Diff Flange installed
Drive Shafts getting the lube treatment
Drive Shafts Ready for the go Button
Door Hinge Ready for the Door ( All Allumunium )
With a bit of luck and if i can get my drivers organised (with deodorant)i will be going to Absolute Pace on Friday to finish the other drive shaft ,preload the shocks and finish the suspension rocker arms with the new flat base nylock nuts that arrived from the states a few days ago.
Cheers
Brad
