Thanks mate, its a nice little part of the world. Always good to look out from the verandah onto the Glasshouse Mountains. I just love it when when its looking so luscious and green.

I might not sell the Acclaim yet, its actually a pretty good car. The oldest daughter has just turned 16 and getting her L's this week, she has been saving for a car... though she wanted a small car lol - maybe I can change her mind.

She has been driving cars, cruisers and tractors around the farm for years, she is so pissed off that she has to have L's for a year :D When she gets on the road she will discover theres a difference between cars and cows lmao

Thanks :)

Might get to installing these in the Acclaim tomorrow. I havent even removed the speedo yet, just all research points to at least one of these, so I got both just in case.

I'll do a step by step when I get to doing it, hopefully tomorrow if I get a chance.

Check it out.. $25 for a couple plastic cogs to make the odometer work. My arse hurts...

and the beginnings of the new..

The top of the cupboard will form another shelf, doors will go full height.

4 doors across the bottom will cover the bottom 2 shelves, another 4 above them all the way to the ceiling.

The bank has done me a favour :) so I got some engine goodies coming for the Berlina. Not asying what engine or what goodies just yet but performance will be ummm enhanced ;)

Looking at this ... too much? I am a dedicated Trekkie after all...

The engine is coming out, which wasnt part of the original plan, and half the interior is already out... so a proper full respray may be in order too. I hate doing half a job. Hoping to get the kitchen finished in the next couple weeks, and the Acclaim should be gone by then too, so it will be back to the Berlina at last, and with a pocketful of cash :).

Only Warp 9? The new engine mods should be good for at least Warp 20.....

Go for it.
