Hey mate you wrote “good “ in that sentence. A friend of mine told me once, the only thing you should order from McDonald’s is a cab

Sat the gates on today, also have Beattes rack on it , just to see where I’m at, and for some reason I actually like the miss matched colour of the gates, they have some nice rust stains and are beaten up a bit, I like the look, feel free to trash me about it, you gotta remember I liked the extra cab idea!

I like it Wiz but think you’ll eventually give the gates a coat of turquoise and blend then in.

Or maybe I’m just wanting you to do that because I think the gates on a SC should be like a good tracksuit and all match :D

See you tomorrow, I’ll drop past at smoko.

Although I think matching would look better, I agree they are a good fit as is…..oh shit, did we just agree on something? :lol:

Well done mate, if you keep up these ridiculous builds we’ll have to start calling you jigsaw.

2 x 25 litre fuel tanks, using the reserve cable to manually switch from tank to tank, no fuel gauge because I don’t think I need one, easy to check the fuel level by looking inside the fuel cap, hey I can use a wooden stick the old fashioned way as well

Very neat work on the tanks mate, lots of small cool details in this. I check the fuel on the MG with a stick, gets a few smiles at the servo.

We all know you just did this because you keep forgetting which side the fuel filler is on Wiz :shock:

Just noticed the black steering wheel. I may have some OG ratty black switch knobs if you need some?
