Hopefully all front panels and doors will be installed, and it will go off for installation of, QUADRALink, diff, engine, transmission, subframe connectors. This will conclude required cutting to floor.
Then will continue with assembly for mock up.

Also was able to collect wheels from shipping company yesterday.
Forgeline RB3
Front - 18 x 9.5" with 5.875" backspace
Rear - 18 x 12" with 8" backspace
Satin black Centre with brushed hoop

Rear tires due here Tuesday, so will get fitted and will be ready for test fitting with diff.

Still need to get radiator, decide on front drive and intake.

Default After a long break, we now move forward.

After deciding to change shops on this build, the opportunity came up to have it done by one of our premier builders down here. Clearly i was excited as these guys would be my first choice, but were 4 hours away and in another state. When we spoke they were just about to move shop in to new bigger better premises. This was 2 hours closer to me and in same state , but this meant a short term in storage, I was happy to wait.

Here are first round of pics, less than 5 days after arrival.

Rog, that is awesome! Congrats.

I know very well what it's like for the timing to work out when a great shop/builder aligns with your own.
