Nice one Stiffy. Best of luck getting it ready for Shelbyfest. Will you be fitting those aftermarket heads?

stiffy 07-21-2008 08:31 PM

Sambo,



After rego then heads,cam,tune,side pipes and more.......

sambo 07-21-2008 08:54 PM

You might want to add "very sticky rubber" to that list, going by those power upgrades!

stiffy 07-21-2008 09:08 PM

SAMBO,


Sorry and yes sticky boots.

400TT 07-21-2008 09:13 PM

Great news.

Looking forward to seeing it at the Nationals. :D

ROUSHAC 07-22-2008 05:23 PM

Congrats! You are getting close now.

Sorry that I missed you at LCS, stiffy, but from what I heard you made LOTS of new friends. Maybe the next time you are over here we'll get together. Not sure when your Nationals are in October, but how about Run & Gun in October too? I think Bernie may be coming over for that.

400TT 07-22-2008 06:02 PM

Dave, our Nationals are just before Run & Gun. My brother & I are flying out 2 days after our Nationals for Run & Gun. :D

pneall 07-22-2008 08:39 PM

Good one stiffy. Have you weighed the Daytona yet?

Will you bring the Daytona to the Nationals?

Phil:)

stiffy 07-23-2008 12:58 AM

Pneall,


No not weight as yet, another day or two on the wiring and then back to Doug's to fit the wiper assembly, air con and heated seats....:D

So Stiffy was it much pain to rip out the transaxle in the Porch to enable your real daily driver to become mobile??

Perhaps you can go on the Porker forum and sell it off for bits now! You'll make a killing.

stiffy 07-23-2008 06:04 PM

Slowly,

They don't have one!!! The closest they get is the stock exchange:LOL:

The Porcar is going well at the moment (its been a really reliable car) to
date but its time to sell. I need a more practical car for a year or so (never thought I would be saying that before I was 70 !! ). So here comes the 1995 Ford Wagon, auto, power steering, air con, cup holders, A BOOT, all the things I have been missing for the past 2 years:D:D


CONSERVATIVE STIFF

sambo 07-23-2008 07:36 PM

Found yourself a MILF Stiffy? :)

stiffy 07-23-2008 08:22 PM

SAMBO,


No just need a car to carry stuff for a while (renovating a couple of houses) and the Porcar can only carry me a 1 slab of VB cans...:LOL:



HANDY STIFFY (NOT)

stephen low 07-23-2008 11:13 PM

Dual airbags and stubby holder
 
Well then then there is no issue with the Porch, Stiff.

Buy 2 slabs instead of one - one slab for your consumption as you project lead and the other to feed the troops doing the actual work! :LOL::LOL:

Oh and the MILF can sit in the other seat and act as the stubbie holder / replenisher :eek:;):3DSMILE:

stiffy 07-23-2008 11:41 PM

I like the way you think Slowly, As the Porcar doen not have a cup holder:LOL::LOL:



STIFFY

P.S. Whats the ETA for your beast??

stephen low 07-24-2008 12:05 AM

I'd said to Martin I want to be driving it this side of and well before Christmas.

They've kicked on along all the toys in his shed since Greg arrived which is great to see.

The cobra body is at Greg's getting first preparations done.
Motor is with Don being fixed and rejuvinated.
Hopefully a well priced TKO is in the offing from the US.
Chassis has been repaired and prepped for all the other bits I needed and is ready for me to collect and get to sandblasting before I repaint it.
All the suspension is being checked and fixed and/or painted before returning to the chassis.

What have I forgotten?

Oh pergola is finshed, yacht is still to be sanded back then repainted and rerigged before October.

I think my plate is full. And you've only a house to play with - boring!!

Cheers

stiffy 07-24-2008 12:41 AM

Slowly,

Sounds promissing...... I understand how frustrating it can be....

Looks like it will be a better car after the incident than before....always a good thing.


STIFFY

P.S. 2 Houses!!! and a car thats getting very close for rego, and a girlfriend:D
