Well, I won't be cruising with you this weekend then. A bit of a shame really, but hope all goes well tomorrow. Good luck with NWOLB

Alrighty, as has been said already, brakes are done, no more leaks , and i thought i might aswell give em a bleed now so that we don't waste any time tomorrow

A cruise tomorrow night is asking a bit tho, i wont be able to put the rear bar on until i get this exhuast tip welded on (don't want to melt my rear bar do I :P). If anything the geelong dyno day will be her first real outing, so for now she's just gunna be driven around a bit local to see how she runs...

bah, you didnt actually expect steve to get it done did you? :P
we got some more rear end stuff done, Wayne came over and welded the exhaust up so it doesn't go into rear bar, modified the rear bar so it clears the exhaust.
put chrome strip in the rear bar.
fixed wheel studs
