Seriously.....is Manifold Heights really the name of a town? That's caused my first genuine laugh of the day ;D

Suburb of Geelong. Never seemed funny until you pointed it out. I grew up around it.

Thanks mate, no ferrets, a set of wheels for the actual 'Mainline' . I still have to check offsets to see if they'll fit though.

Yep, cleaned up the shed a bit and got re-inspired. Always a big mistake to start using a car project as a storage facility

Here's a pic from a while back, althought it hasn't changed much since. I bought it as a $400 wreck and replaced the sills and floors, rebuilt the chassis, added front disc brakes etc. Then decided to customise it 50's style. Chopped the roof 2+ inches to suit a hardtop windscreen, added pontiac tailights, scoops to the sides, and deleted the door handles (so basically did nothing as Ted says ::) )



Then the young fella was born, so I bought an FX ute so I'd have something interesting to drive while I worked on the Mainline, which meant I spent too much time tweaking the FX instead.


Then got into VMX and restored a couple of bikes. So basically it's been about 6 years since I've done anything to it.

Cheers, Brendan
