Â Cheers, Josh :y: Â Hi josh tommys dad here this is my first time on thomas page but just wanted to say thank you all for your great comments and help you have all given us through out the build.As you may have read thomas is in America and will be home this friday we can't wait to see him. While Thomas has been away i gave his little rolla a couple of runs from home (Swan Hill) to Melbourne and back around a 700km trip so just to answer an earlier question as to what sort of fuel economy we get from the quad carby set up it averaged 36.6 MILES PER GALLON not bad for a fairly worked little motor.As for respray i made the mistake of not fish oiling the insides of all the panels and have a couple of small rust spots showing so we will cut them out and still need to repair rear end where the sheila put the dent in it so just as eazy to strip and paint the hole car.

altezzaclub Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 Haha! As one aged unappreciated dad to another.. Â GO DADs !!! Quote

TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 hey all haven't posted in a very long time and i thought now would be a good time as dad has spent some endless hours making my rolla all nice and fresh again.... It has been fully stripped and rubbed back the small surface rust areas have been cut out and repaired a few minor dents have been repaired and the major one in the rear where mates gf stuffed it has been fixed up....my gear box had shit itself and required a rebuild so that has also been done. The dash has been recovered with marine vinyl by dad and it has come up a million bucks. there was a few troubles with the paint jod as it was dads first time doing it but he stuck to it and with hours of rubbing back and trying again with a good cut and polish she has come up amazing... can't thank the old manm enough for the work he has done here are some pics enjoy...
