Hi Jicks,

got about 3 weekends worth of work done on the car so far this year.....working too much at the moment, 7 days a week, big wedding coming up in August also which has taken a chunk of cash!
certainly cant spare the time to attend Bug-in which is a shame.. Sad

however, the upside is.... after august i'm gonna give myself about 4 months holiday....i have my floorpan booked in for a special top secret treatment which should look wild, the engine is getting built in december so maybe by spring 2008 i'll be on the road.







some bits waiting for fitting up...

hello men!
yeah lids...that busy, i've been doing 15 hour workdays for the last couple of weeks to get the property finished before the wedding, one of my contractors cut into the mains electricity cable yesterday....he's still in hospital!  and no electrics!
so its all a bit hectic!!

hey Ape! hows the leg?
....the 4 (or more!) months  off are because i have 2 properties on the go, to be finished by mid august...when they're done i cant afford to do anymore 'till they're sold & that could take a while....

so thats gonna be full on car time!!!

and Mauro....glad you like it ...your cars rule dude!

lots of love and kisses...jick
