Need a hand with anything tonight big steve? when do you get back the s3?
Perhaps finish bolting up the gearbox and starter motor tonight but I have a wedding tomorrow then wandin on Sunday so this weekend is a little thin for time.
The wheels aren't done yet, I should get the case with s3 back next wednesday.
The so called "Signal Red" has turned out more orange than I thought, with a white roof, black bar work & white rims it is kind of looking like something out of the new Disney movie (So one of my kids pointed out)
My digital camera is at work so i will post some pics tomorrow.
Hopefully the rims and tcase will be back in my hands on Wednesday so all things look sweet for a test run this saturday.
Pulled the front diff/axles CV's apart and fitted my spare diff (With the locker in it).
Picking up the tcase tomorrow night so fingers crossed I can take it for a bit of a drive tomorrow night.
Still waiting on the wheels to be finished.
Still to be done:
~ Fill up Engine, gearbox, tcase, diffs with oil.
~ Attach the flares and mud flaps (Bought some push fasteners yesterday)
~ Get the LTB's fitted to the rims once they have been finished (Hopefully Friday)
~ Prep and spray the bonnet, doors, windscreen surround and targa bar
~ Sleep
Still hoping to take it out on Saturday arvo, Sunday at the latest.
Yes I had hoped it would be a little more red as we already have two Orange cars in our club

Whats a pick bit (I know what pink bits are) ???

The other main mod will be the installation some sort of roll cage but that will have to wait. (a) Power steering bah, you haven't seen my arms. (b) I might look at diff gears but down the track.

I believe I have answered that one

Looking great Steve!! I'd push the roll cage higher up in the priorities list Just in case...
You could always spray a thin layer of a "redder" red over the current paint if you really wanted to cut some of the orange out... but it looks fine as it is Great stuff, can't wait to see it in action!

Though i wonder if you got a little carried away there - the fuel tank appears to have a coat of black gloss on it
Not everyone is into duck punt green ..
