xmas again 4 me

[Dodge]

well My cobra jet mustang turned up in brissy today, i drove to TNT at arcacia ridge to watch them swap it from the big semmy to a small truck to deliver to my workshop , i tell u i was sweating watching them shift if of ther truck, it had a loose battery term so they couldnt start it ( by the way i wasnt alloud into the depo i had to peer thru the fence)
so im watching them try to tow my car off the trucks top level platform, it was the front car so it was pointing down the wrong way to push of , the driver loaded a 4x4 onto top row and tied my car to it then dragged it up the ramp to a flat surface , meanwhile the 4x4 was inches from the back ot the top level which was 8 ft in the air, i could picture the 4x4 going of the back pulling my car onto its roof, lucky 4 everyone it didnt but it still took 1/2 hr for them to get the car of the truck , meanwhile the truck which was going to deliver had to go and left, so im standing in the heat watching my car get skull draged of a truck and couldnt help ... i saw it once he started it and drove it outside the fence, they bend some of the x member and there is a small dent on the roof and a chip the size of a 20 cent coin on the front guard, all parts were there bar a pallet of wheels. The got to my shop at 2 pm where i had to fix a torn fuel line from the chains... i got in and cleaned out the cars inners then washed it , it has goops of grease all over front end and window, the underneath was as dusty as a country church and there was still the same dirt and grease underneath , so much for my 254 $ steam clean job.... i drove it up the end of the street , did a massive 180 rear wheel peeler and back into my shop, i riped out the diff, and real leaf springs, chucked out shocks , exhaust and will hit the front end tomorrow, I have a complete new set of leaf springs, upper and lower arms, and all new rubbers for the complete susspension and new KYB shocks, i will also give it a quick spray of body detener and diff is gettn rebuilt completly with new bearings , clutches , changing 3.25 to 3.9 and powder coat the housing with a sump plug. Im happy now and will get some sleep at last, i kid u not i have had 4 hrs sleep in the last 3 days ,with all the crap i have thrown at me.
PS the colour of the car is out of this world, its got more fairy dust than liverarchys ring hole... its candy apple red with gold fleck and multi colour pearl... pics will come soon b4 and after . Thanks for ur support guys.
