Hi All
I have just arrived back from Tauranga with the rear cut and also a couple of strut tops The rear will be cut into sections to repair what areas are in the worst condition and the strut tops will replace the rusty ones that I have so it was a very succesful weekend I also caught some Jazz as Tauranga holds a Jazz music weekend every easter so in all I am a happy man and on the bonus side my better half managed to get in some shopping with her best freind so she returned to Auckland happy as well

Well it has been a couple of good weeks. I have picked up the engine and gearbox, I have purchased a large gearbox tunnel which I will be picking up today and it looks like I have sourced a good rear cut and hopefully struttops which I will pick up this coming weekend. so we should see some serious progress in the coming weeks. Keep coming back to check on how I am going.

I have now had over 2400 visits to the site so to all of you I say thanks. I have not done much to the car except for cleaning off underseal and welding up the old bolt and paint drain holes and giving the floor a good coat of undercoat so I won't bother putting up any pics. However there has been a change of direction for the power plant I have purchased a 2.0 pinto with a 5speed box at a good price so it looks like she will be a rs2000 replica now. I will pick up the engine and box this weekend so will post pics next week when I get the engine home
Until then have a good week
