Weekend off this weekend as if we work on it this one then I see both of us being presented divorce papers, lol

yea most definitely dont need that happening ae Jeff, dont wanna end up like Barry n in the dog box most weeks lol

And scott the next weekend may have to make sure I'm home on time as its our 21st aniversary, so might be kid free for the night. but will still put in at least a few hours.

ok sweet wont hold you up on that weekend, dont feel like gettin shot by your missus for holding you up too much.

will try and get a few early-ish nights home from work so i can get the g/box cross-member in and the exhaust bolted up as well

dont worry scott, aniversary is 25th nov and celebrations will be evening / night so should be good for the day or at least the morning. If you get the gearbox and exhaust sorted, when I get there I'll get the tail lights and front indicators all wired into the commodore loom,  then can start on things like brake light switch, wiper switch, light switch etc all sorted. Speaking of wipers you want wiper dwell on yours? then might pay to get that out of the commodore, thats what I put in mine, works well. And Another thought about the cruise control, from memory in a commodore you need a box that has a cable coming out that connects to your throttle. see if there is one left in the commodore engine bay, may need it for that to work.

Cheers Jeff

Hey Team,

Way to go!!!. Good to see life is still good in shakey town and another Beddy about to graduate. Looking forward to catching up with both of you at the Nats. I won't have the CF there but may bring the Largo instead. Hopefully the CF will be in primer by then but that may be a big ask at this stage.

Keep up the great work and Jeff don't miss that anniversary. I don't think Ali would let you forget that for about "FOREVER"  ;D

Cheers,
Garry.

Yeah no point workin on our house here in shake city, as mine will eventually get pulled down and rebuilt, so mide as well work on our vans. Panelvan rebuild is on hold as correspondace is progressing with our insurance company, so working on everyone elses project.

Was thinking of renaming the club temporaily to "Shake City Vanners", lol

Anyhow catchup with you at the nats.

Cheers Jeff
