Yep, very happy with the car. Will be bringing it back up for a detail once it's finished. Was going to make it a weekend you guys have a run on so i can catch up with everyone.

I think you'll beat me Chris but hopefully not by much

Cheers

I hope to have the engine in my XR GT in the next few weeks,If all goes well I will definatly have it at the nationals.I certainly dont have as much work to do as some of the others but will certainly give it a good shot.I think theres only about 13 weekends left until the nationals! Smile

Don't know how many hours, but if i was paying someone by the hour to do i would be broke for sure. Anything i havn't been able to do i've paid someone else, i got someone else to do the hoodlining because i didn't want to stuff it up. The big thing i've learnt is when your putting the car back together it is easy to get sidetracked doing a bit here and there. The best way is to start in one area and finished it the best you can. Do all the hard stuff in the interior, then the boot, prep the engine bay for the engine. If you don't at the end of the day you look back and you don't seem to get anything done. This is my first full blown restro and have enjoyed it so far

Cheers
