Why , have you got spare time in between polishing your lot , to come down to Cal-Look Central and give us a hand  Grin , you'd be most welcome !!

No , as you would probably remember , the engine bay was a bit flaky , and needed painting while the engine was out .

Paula arranged to get it done by one of her friends contacts , and they made a bad job of it . It waited ages to be done again .

At the same time , she had a Split Screen Van , that needed a lot of work ( new engine etc ) , so I used the 3 week slot I had allocated for the Ghia to do the van .

The engine bay eventually got painted properly , and the  Ghia has had to wait for a slot for us to get back on it , as we had started on other jobs in the meantime .

I also have had to come up with a way of bracing the frame forks , as you cannot use a traction bar on a Ghia , and the Torque Bar set-up doesn't stop wheel-hop . Hopefully the mounting that I have come up with , will work .

It should be finished sometime towards the end of January , if everything goes smoothly .

Thanks for the update on the Ghia, some photos of the changes would be nice under the "in the works" section.

Me down to Cal Look Central !!!!! Quite like this idea maybe i could get a car down there and then we could have a bit of run with the local boys in blue !!!!

Will speak at the Volks world show, as would like better look at the cars you have down there in Cal Look Central.

I tend to put the pic's I have on our blog , so keep an eye on that top see whats going on in the workshop .

http://jg54greenhearts.blogspot.com/

My mate Simon , is on the ' Traffic Cops' program on the telly at the mo , he's about the only one I have a run in with , but that's normally when he pops in here ( in the plain clothes car ) for a quick cuppa  Smiley

We are having a Club dyno day , as soon as possible after the VolksWorld show , so maybe try and get down for that , it will sure be an interesting weekend . Remember the 3 car burnout pic of the DAS guy's , I'm trying to do the same thing with 10 cars , not sure how yet ( tie the T bars to a post  Shocked) !!

I will definitely catch up with you at the Volksworld show , although I would imagine you have a bit of work ahead , getting your cars there .

Take care , and have a very Cal-look new Year !!
