by **Schmee** » September 17th, 2008, 9:43 pm

Well time for the quick update more to follow soon as the mods start to happen....hehehe

Only a few weeks behind schedule and the wagon finally got registered this morning....woooohoo vicroads pulled in for the appointment at 9-30, no waiting straight into the rego process 10 minutes later....I shit you not....I was driving away from Vicroads with new rego plates in hand and alot lighter in the pocket

Just taken it out for its first decent test drive and I must say Im very happy with the way the ol girl has come together, drives really nice, smooth and reasonably powerful

Thanks to Ronza for dropping of some lowering blocks earlier this evening they will be fitted in the next few days

anyways thats the news for today

pics and more info in the next few days

Great stuff Kev. The wagon certainly looked tidy when I was over there.

by **EFFalcon** » September 18th, 2008, 8:54 am

didnt look overly high??

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » September 18th, 2008, 9:21 am

that wagon is going to be very interesting when it's done, after rego i think you should put the FTR's back on, looked awesome as.

Kev's a sickooooooo

by **Schmee** » September 18th, 2008, 6:06 pm

Back end is way to high John.....must be low.....then lowered to make it sit nice...lol

once the gas goes in then the blocks it should sit pretty good....if it doesnt Ill get bigger blocks
