Yes mate other drivers. The conditions on the permit mean I cant take off anywhere on a drive. I need to be able to prove that I am getting roadworthy items fixed/seen to.
Had a Chance to do any more work to the Beast Tim, seeing the video made me so keen to get on with my 66 Project.
All I need to do really is
- Replace all swaybar bushes,Swaybar links and bushes
- Replace all 4 Shocks
- Replace all Brake hoses
- Install my new front guards
- Get the Brake Drums machined
- Adjust and bleed the brakes
- Get all electric working.
