    Almost Ready for the ATC

    Well the car is almost ready for the transporter to Sydney for the start of the Australian Tarmac Challange.

    Today we had some of the signage done, the rest will go on, including the door numbers and windshield banner, when we get to Sydney and get our event signage and race numbers from the organisers.

    We've done a heap of work to the car in the past couple of months with new diff's, clutch, tyres etc etc etc and this event will be used to give it a good shakedown in preparation for Mt Buller in December.

    A few pics for clicks follow

    Cheers Al

    Wicked Al,
    As always presented so beautifully. I really need to think about maybe getting some serious detail work done.
    Are you still doing the Rally Australia super special stages next month?
    Cheers,

    Hi Trent, thanks mate, yes we will be running the stage from 4PM on Saturday the 5th, we are the last group of cars on before the WRC cars run.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone

    Thanks mate, I only really use it for tarmac rallies and track days now, not really practical for the street with the roll cage. When we get the new car I will be changing it over to club rego and going to a full weld in cage and seam welding it instead of the bolt in cage.

    No it will be quicker, substantially quicker

    You'll have to wait and see

    EDIT: BTW we will be staying in Coffs on our way up the coast with the rally on the night of the Friday the 4th of September, we arrive in town around 13:00 and have an auto test to run down by the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshore Precinct starting about 13:30.

    We'll be staying at Pacific Bay Novotel, maybe you can make it down and say hello some time during the day or evening.

    EDIT: If you are interested I might actually get you to give the car a quick wash and detail if we have time but only if your interested in the work, it will give me some time to relax. Nothing major just a quick lick and a promise to get it looking good for when we arrive at the WRC super special stage in Murwillumbah on Saturday.

    Cheers Al
