That paint looks so nice with the light on it. Waiting for the first drive must be killing you.

So hopefully go for roadworthy on Thursday. But drove it for the first time last week and fixed a few things over the week. Have to get a different exhaust as the one I got didn't fit with the rear valance. Any suggestions? And also changed back to a vaccum advance distributor to work with the carbs better. Will take it for another good drive on Tuesday but gearbox I think will cause issues down the track (hasn't been rebuilt)

Took her for a decent drive today and worked out the niggles.
Just need a different exhaust. Can anyone recommend something that fits with rear valance that's not stock?

Cool I'll look into that! Also, in terms of club rego, it's lowered on spring plates and has a different shifter, does anyone know if I need to go m plates (modified) or h plates (standard)? Cheers
