Short lever off, stock item on. Leather console lid off, stock item on. Now for the extractors and RWC. I'm getting the extractors done by an exhaust joint through my brother in law and the RWC through a contact of my nephew! All in the family. GK

I've still got to get the extractors changed over too, but that can take place after the RWC. The car is literally going next door! LOL! I took her for a burn yesterday, gee she drives nice and smooth. I'll take some pics at a later date, they'll not be much though, as cosmetically she's a bit shabby now. Faded paint, stocko grille, 16" clover leaf rims (which did look good on the wagon, but look puss on a sedan), clear coat peeling off the spoiler, scratched rear bumper and so on. Stay tuned though! GK

RWC booked for Friday. Hopefully it won't take much.
I reckon a screen, two rear tyres (which I have) and wiper blades should do it. We'll see. Either way, the neighbours are paying for it, but I'd love it to pass without much, for their cash flow sake, and my personal satisfaction of the old girl going out in class! LOL! GK

RWC Items needed.
Windscreen and seal Headlights needed a polish One steering rack boot Diff needed degreasing Two tyres A few globes Pretty good all up. Windscreen will be done Monday, so my great neighbours will get a great car next week. Total cost will be somewhere between $400-500 Double thumbs up. Cheers, GK

Car is officially gone!
The neighbours took care of all the transfer paperwork today. Goodbye old girl! LOL! As for pics UK, forget about it. Car is basically bog stock now, except for Tickford ride height and 16" clover leaf rims. She's a former shadow of herself. LOL! Signature changed, now for the avatar! GK

On the school holidays, the pacemakers will come off the SR (pre agreed with the new owners) and be swapped with the stock headers on the wagon. Apart from those simple enough jobs, I can always dream of a V8 replacement for the I6! GK
