[Aussie Comet 1964]

yes Joe 2 small turbos, should go OK, think I have the combination worked out, should be fun to drive to work!! thanks Pop, Roy. Will take some pics on drag week along the way, should be great this year, last year was the first time & there were only 18 of us, this year they are hoping for up to 100 cars. John

made some more progress on the Ute, I have had it all together & had it passed by the engineer,I pulled it all apart & sandblasted the shell & now its in colour, starting to put it together, the engine is out being balanced, the chrome is being done & my friend is working on the seat & door trims.

Hey nice little Comechero you are building there. I hate to say this but the wheel is on the wrong side. Oh it's supposed to be that way? That's ok going to nice when you are done. Hope you get as many curious onlookers as I do. It's really coming together.

time for another update on the ute, been working away on it, its starting to look like a car now, I was hoping to have it finished for a big show here in early january but I cut my finger pretty good at work & looks like i`m out of action for 2-3 months, I am half way through the wiring at the moment so work has stopped can`t work with only 1 hand, I have the running gear all in with only the tailshaft to make & when the wiring is done can fire it up & get the EFI tuned. John








this is machining the intake for EFI, Roy kindly donated this to the ute only a few months ago
