Had the pleasure of entering Motorvation with Ross and the car. Great to see she's still kicking man.
Pics don't do it justice!

That place in Maddington wouldn't be The Maddington Head Factory ,would it ? I wouldn't normally bag anyone on this forum, but that place would have to be the worst workshop in the world. A group of un trained monkeys could do better work !!!! After sales service..non existant... DO NOT GO THERE..AND TELL ALL NOT TO GO THERE.. I've even written to Perth Street Car Mag to complain that their ad in there is NOTHING like what you get if you go there. A mate had a 350 Chev done there... Ruined the motor for ever.
