Re: The Mutts new ground up rebuild
Its good to see you doing this. I remember seeing the final stages of your old surf when I first joined ORE.
What happened to the old surf?

Re: The Mutts new ground up rebuild
It fell off a bank Tim. I had been thinking about sorting it out into a rig that could be certed and with the body pushed 3" out of line when the exo pushed it over, it seemed like a good time to start getting all the bits together.
That was 18mths ago though
. Still, better late than never

Re: The Mutts new ground up rebuild
Well done Grant looking good.
Whos doing your cert? Wayne Martin? If so and you continue to build to high standards you'll be sweet.
Cert is easy.
Also I managed to find the fella you sold your old 60 series body too. Bought the lower tail door off him. $100!!
Good way to make money aye.
Have fun
Tom

SHHHIIIIIAAATTTT! I sold him the whole thing for $3.
And now I need some bits off it as well, unless you have some tank straps?
