1750 GTV – September 2012
It’s been a long time since updates, we’ve been focussed on other projects. However the project has taken a step forward (!), and the front suspension is coming back together onto the car. Great to see some shiny bits being united! I filled the ute with parts from my garage to take to Maranello Pur Sang, and it’s all stacked up and ready to come...

Franjo sent some great progress photos, and I received a carefully wrapped package in return, all for a quite reasonable price. I’ll show some of...

The run then continued across past Coliban Reservoir then looping back through Tylden before arriving back at a reserved picnic ground at the Hanging Rock reserve. A great run, followed by some nice chat and a BBQ...
