A comparison shot of where it is now:

look at the difference in that bit below the tailgate... had to fabricate a new panel.

yes and no...
got all the straight bends done for me (at a mob that does all dads bending for gutters and stuff never thought they'd come in handy). just did the curved bend on the bottom myself, and welded it in. Looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better if you ask me.
The old one was just a bit of sheet metal pop riveted on with a kink in the middle

already has the L series engine(L20b), so its just put it back together, and back on the road. Its just intended to be a neat street car, and an everyday driver. Nothing overly fancy or high performace, but plenty of go.

I think thats too long a drive... I can't really justify 2 weeks driving for 2 days. I'll be back at uni by then aswell
Sounds like a good event though. Too good to miss
