I thought that canister part was a bong, sorry...

[Mudgy]

Great stuff mate... if you don't end up using them.... surely you can turn them into a few $$$

Cheers, Mudgy

One last build pic . Grill , trim pieces and headlight surrounds back from the platers . Hopefully any future pics are ones of us cruising and not fixing

A vision of beauty!

NICE

[FRANK BASILE]

Nice result. Congrats.
Looking at the plates ,the CPS scheme is really growing in Vic. Just looking at plates I have been issued . April 2015 in the 57,000,s . By Oct 2017 the number was in the 85,000,s . Then they ran out and went to the current format with what appears to be repeated blocks of numbers from 1 to 9.

Sweet Ratty my man......cruise on!!!!

Finally had a chance post lock down to take the car over to Olga the original owner to show her the transformation over the last 4 years . By chance she was out in her driveway when we came cruising down her street, the smile and facial expression told us that she knew it was her old car . After a good chat we took her out for a spin which she thought was great , and was extremely pleased at the end result .

[Sly Fox]

That was a nice thing to do Ratty, I bet she said it looks better than when it was new.
You would have surely made her day.

[Mudgy]

Great stuff, Ratty. I'm sure the original owner will be very pleased.
Some people will source a vehicle and promise to restore it... but don't.

Hats off to you mate.


Cheers, Mudgy

Hi Ratty
Schultz here again ...

I hope your air intake for your vacuum cleaner positive air breathing system with the mask was well away from the Paint Booth and sucking clean, safe air ...

I expect you can extend the supply side with some big hose.

When I was diving I had 75 metres of hose.

And severe leg infections are not good.

I LIKE your work !

[Chrisso]

Does she want her car back mate? She looks very chuffed!! Great stuff Ratty

[Gojeep]

That is really great that you did, and got to, do that.

[rattyrod]

It was smiles all round . She had other opportunities to sell the car beforehand and wasn’t ready and didn’t like some people , we ticked all the boxes for her which made me happy and I think the look on her face when she saw it vindicated her decision

[rattyrod]

After 2 years of delays due to Covid we finally made it to Motorex . I was quite surprised to get a call to say I had won a stand out award in the real street area and had to drive up on stage . I even got Jet to wipe the car down with me , which was an even bigger surprise.
