Few of us are catching up on sunday.

We'll probably work a little on the cars, go for a drive, get food and chat etc. Anyone who's interested is more than welcome to come along.

We can put our ideas for what to do sunday in this thread.

I'll hook us up with the walkie talkies, got a mate that works at bunnings and he has let me in on a loop hole, I'm guessing we only need for the day.

Ooo James I reckon we could get a couple of good photos in on Cunningham pier, ladder,tripod,camera and 4 sweet looking soarers = epic win.

I've also been seeing it's a big trend for car photos. If you can find an abandon factory or industrial building or an old bridge it will give us an awesome drop back.

I remember (I think) you can drive and park on the pier.

Cheers Trent we'll have to check it out.

James a friend of mine she told me to head down to the Grain Terminal and Softwood Plantation Exporters yard, near the grain loop if it's close to where we are. Also some bridge at queens park or something.

I'll also bring down my laptop to show you boys our cruise video.

Think his car is still getting fixed mate.

Anyways 74 Dodds Street, Southbank is the meet up area. Not much parking but you won't need to park long anyways. Just behind the Malthouse Theatre/ACCA(Australia Contemporary Centre of Arts"

We'll take more when we get those puddle lights in :-)

Oh by the way what component are you actually looking for to make it work? I've got the Soarer bible and looking through it, could have some answers.

It's really easy all we need to do is run another wire from the dome switch from the door position. The lights are then connecte in the lights, if you have side skirts we'll need to cut into it to make it sit flush, if now we'll need to make brackets.

That's about it.

Oh and I've made something for your cars fellas.

Sounds good Richard, remember, when you get your kit tell me so I can get it too and I'm doing it when you are. Also in terms of strengthening the door interiors we need to get metal tabs as the plastic holes do break. Refer to this link:

Okay my luck isn't getting better, just took my mate up to dandy mountains and were stuffing around on damp roads (bad idea) kicked it sideways and haha back end locked up. Now the front end lip kit kissed the cliff face there is about a 10-15cm crack.

How much do you boys reckon it's going to set me back to get it repaired the kits is fiber glass. Man can't get over how stupid a second of ego could stuff it up. Grrr.
