:) Hi Karlo and welcome! It looks like a brilliant car. Enjoy the experience. These cars are fussy but extrememly rewarding. You just need to fnd a mechaninc who knows what they are dong and the car will be extremely reliable. (Don't listen to the uninformed!).
Best Regards
Phil
Great looking car mate - welcome!
Karlo
From the look of your photos that 6 hours you spent was well worth it. Congrats on the car, it looks great.

Thanks barry.....everytime i open the garage door still cant wipe the smile of my face....
I guess the excitement is due to my daily being a VX holden (auto).... :-\

Hmmm i think the red 33 is a girl and i like that idea that she can be Alfie's sister ;) I like the name Alexia but i think Bella sounds more italian...
What did you name your daily btw?
