ah yes, and the venerable bump wagon.

Update.

Car is painted and 90% assembled...all shiny again.

It will be interesting for other SVT owners, as we managed to get the last passenger airbag in the country. The drivers a/b, bonnet catch and a whole smorgasboard of other parts had to be imported. :rant:


Funny how jiffy hated the brand new aurion, *which he has had to return to the rental mob* but seems to be enjoying my 91 falcoon.

The Aurion was a totally anonymous ride - no personality, the only redeeming feature was the steering wheel looks quite nice....

Whereas the '91 EB Falcon just ooooozes personaility (all over my driveway as it happens) but it's endearing to drive! And you were right, the visibility is magnificent after driving the Cobra for 8 years...

However, other SVT owners should take heart - we'll have a nice drivers and passengers side airbag, brand new NOS Australian front & rear bumpers for the 2001/02 Tickford Cobras available shortly. So, you can prang your steeds in complete confidence. Swear afterwards....

Best thing about the '91 EB the other day when I saw it was the co-driver !

So, I've picked the Cobra back up - very black and shiny, and I think that the panel alignment is better than it was beforehand, so thanks Jason!

To anyone else in the area looking for a good quality, reputable repairer, I know of one. If he's busy, try Jason...


OOOOH! BASATRD! Sorry geeza - you know I'm a fan.

Seriously - big cudos Jason, great work and thanks again!
