Hey Mate,

Yes the wheels will be colored, but no to match the silver. The owner wonts the white wheels with a hint of the purple in it . Once we clean up the wheels and put some of the color on, we will see how it looks.

The electric window motors are now in the doors and the glass , window seals and the trims are on the doors.

With all the rain about, we are unable to do the panel work on the brumby. So we have been getting the Leone finished off. All most there now. The interior is back together. Alarm, central locking and the electric windows are now all wired up. Just have to put a new windscreen rubber in and it is ready to go for roadworthy.

Hey Rik,

It is only at rego stage. More to be done after it gets the plates. The owner wont's the inside done like the dark blue one that we did. 14" wheels to go on as well. Just got a duel range box to go in to it. It will most likely be like the rest of the home cars. As time goes by, more and more will happen to it as parts and dollars are available. Thanks for saying that it looks better. That will make the owner happy.

Hey Matt, It doesn't have your D/R in it yet. I would say it will go in , in about 2 months. What was the ratio of the D/R . I have forgotten .
