Ant, I will try and remember to photo the bonnet securing mech. It's very simple, but quite effective. Cheers for the kind words  Magnets?  |

Good work dude, it'll be good to see that thing on the track. Fingers crossed I'll have my car out next year too, as it's going to Steveo for paint in Jan, YAY. Good to see that the english wheel I got you has come in handi along with some of that titanium  . Keep up the good work Brad |

Hey, cheers Brad! Long time no hear! Good to hear your Bug is coming on. Can't wait to see it on the road/strip. It will soon be time to unleash that 2276! And those lovely IDAs! |

Thanks for the encouragement guys - I should be back on the project in a major way shortly. I am in the process of moving to a bigger and better workshop. Should be moved in by Christmas! Matt

Hi Matt,
So glad the car went to such a good home, fantastic to see the progress, you've certainly taken it to a level I couldn't even have imagined back in the late 80's early 90's.
Hope to see you at the races in 2009 with the car. I'll pop in for a brew!
Peter

did you get your chute mount sorted? I was at Wayne's when you rang him the other week- welding my steering column for a quick-release boss....
sounds like you have beaten me to paint... mine should be in the 'shop on Saturday but I am not sure i'll make it for then....
can't wait to see you car close up- it looks so impressive from the pictures.
cheers,
J.
