Hi
Just seen these, '95/'96, have you not done any recently, if not I would think you are dying to have a go at it again!
Cheers

Possibly.
I'm assuming I have to speak to the organisers, so I'll make some enquiries. Or do you know someone?
Failing that, I shall just display a bunch of them on the back of my Dodge.
I still can't believe she's gonna be on the road soon, especially after all the aggro I've had with her.
Can't wait!  _________________ Don't run your fingers over my truck & I won't run my truck over your fingers!

Well, Dave, there's still a bit to do, namely replacing rear suspension with a four-link set up & sorting a problem I had with the front passenger side...I think I'm going to install a compressor & have airbag suspension all round so when I park up, I can lower her into the weeds. Flash.
The driver's door has a gap at the top where the rubber doesn't make a seal - to prevent rain getting in, I may have to have the door cut and a small section put in to raise it - it'll mean respraying that door, but needs must.
Since I decided to have a line lock fitted, I now need to replace the diff with a limited slip unit, otherwise there's no point having it.
The rest of the bits to do are minor in comparison - bolting some shiny bits into place, like the rear lights, number plates, buck hooks, CD player, overflow tank for the rad etc. & fitting a custom centre post for the front screen.
Then it'll be sourcing & fitting some kind of b@st@rd mahogany like Rioca (sp?) for the bed in the buck & taking the whole thing back to Rob Yost to have the interior finished.
And I may buy a set of American Racing wheels in grey to finish it off.
There. That's about it.  _________________ Don't run your fingers over my truck & I won't run my truck over your fingers!
