There is still plenty more things to change, enhance or customise. And with my budget (whatever I can hide without my wife findingout - very little) by the time I finish, some of the old stuff will need looking at again. You call getting a Lane a step up? I say it is a step back, to the slow lane. hahahahahaha Look forward to seeing you at the AFD NCIILane.

I like the EB front better than the EF/EL sheetmetal.

The inner bush is wider than the EA-ED one. Love the work you have done to her. Be proud, all your own work and with a good budget. Q? Who is the car insured with? If it is not Shannons, take a cruise across to Nth Sydney and get a quote. Also mention that you have the wife's car to insure as well. Reason I say this is I took my boxcar across, got it insured for $12.5k, plus my wifes EA mont (stock as a rock), for the same price as it was costing for her car with the NRMA. Chris P.S. And I agree, if I was going to do a front sheet metal conversion to an EA-ED, it'd be the NC front metal onto a wagon.
