My car has never been restored - but has been continually maintained. This coming winter (June, July, Aug ish) I intend to do a fair bit to improve the car. One of the things I need to look at is the insulation (it has been removed at some stage) so I don't have patterns for either the trunk or footwell (feetwells??). I was thinking of cutting material to suit. Would that be possible ???

Hi Garry,

could you please put me down for one RHD in Melbourne Australia.  Much appreciated.

By the way, Garry, we still need to have that catch up sometime.

regards, Gary

Gary,

Have added you to the list.

I was talking to Richard Rose last week on this and we decided that early in the new year when the Xmas madness is over we will post to all the known Melbourne Pagoda owners and do a day run probably north north west out out past Lancefield and around back to our place at Hanging Rock for a BBQ lunch then return to Melb.

It might be a case of picking up your Firewall pad and save on postage at the same time!!

Will post in Events area in new year and by PM

Hi Garry,
That sounds excellent - looking forward to it.  I've not driven the SL around your area so it will be a great change.  I tend to naturally head to the Yarra Valley or the Dandenongs. And thanks for all the efforts on the firewall pad.

cheers Gary

Garry & Gary,
Make your trip a bit further north and I meet you half way, say Albury Wodonga :) The new double lane would make a nice cruise

Because of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend here this may take us to the end of next week but then the cutting should start.
This is how the request list stands - the game is currently tied AUS 11: UK 11, who will win?  ;D

Hi Hamid, it's a great idea but I'd struggle to find the time to make the trip to Albury from Melbourne at the moment (it's about a 4 hour drive each way) - I'll keep it in mind for sometime next year.

cheers

Steve,
the traffic was so bad on Friday in Los Angeles that by the time the die cutter's shop was reached he had closed. So, back again tomorrow for another try.
If everything turns out OK then I should be able to ship all sets on Wednesday to Andy "Drewtee" for distribution with an ETA of first week in 2012.
I guess you'll hear from him how he plans to do this.

For the AUstralian members who have asked for a firewall pad and in some cases two, the pads are on their way here with an expected delivery into Australia of New Years eve.  Once I have them I will send out a paypal invoice for them and seek an indication how you would like them delivered.  SOme of you will be able to collect at the gathering on 22 January, others  from Canberra will get them when I am there in February and for others I can mail out as you advise.

Looking forward to seeing them.

All the best to everyone for Christmas and safe driving over the festive season.

The UK firewall pads are also enroute.  Once they arrive and we know the final cost including any duty,  i'll contact all who have ordered with payment details and to request the delivery addresses.

The pads will be dropped over to Kevin O'Keeffe' in the new year.  He is not back in until the 5th January so i imagine once payment has been recieved that these will be sent by mid January latest.

Happy Holidays

I have sent emails to each of the names I have on my list of those wanting the RH Firewall Pad. And also Dave B for the LH pad.

If you have not heard from me but had put your name down for a pad, please contact me.

I also have one extra pad if there is anyone else wanting one. First in first served.

Regarding the 12 UK pads, Kevin O'keefe now has the pads. He just needs to work out the best way to post them out and the cost for that and i will send an email to all regarding payment and postage details- It will be within the next few days.
