If you let me know the exact day you are travelling thru, I can check my roster to see if I'll be at work and if so that would make it easier for both of us.bolly 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/07378249922254071723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290662315829466158.post-1403768508302211512008-09-08T20:41:00.000+09:302008-09-08T20:41:00.000+09:30Good luck with the project Alex.

I realise you are Geelong way tho. We spaceframed my first sheet metal monocoque in 1973 as the entire car had developed a bad flex due to incorrect chassis repairs. Thats me in the photo John put up on the blog showing the standard rear of an orange Mk 5. My current car is to undergo a cosmetic restoration prior to Easter 2009. Its a spaceframe car built by Ian Napier in North Balwyn in 1968, last registered in 1977 but will be on Historic rego by Xmas this year.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099819887047466587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290662315829466158.post-65837284610341852132008-09-08T11:24:00.000+09:302008-09-08T11:24:00.000+09:30Thanks Alex.
