82Roadster Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks Joseph, I'd forgotten about the lowered suspension. I'd like to think the Vette sits a little better in it's wheel arches and drives a little tighter after all the work. I appreciate your great service and advice - the best products to come to Australia in years. mc2hill - American cars have a significant following down under, especially with the exchange rates being so good over the past few years. Most Australian States allow vehicles over thrity years of age to be fully registered in their original left hand drive configuration, so older cars and rods are very popular. Probably more Mustangs than any other badge but Corvettes follow closely with a wide variety of US muscle also featuring strongly at car shows these days. Thanks to everyone who's been nice enough to comment, makes the hard work worth the effort. Edited April 2, 2013 by 82Roadster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, government officials that actually 'get' it! 82Roadster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Roadster Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Would be better if we could register left hand drive vehicles from new as many other countries allow but the 30 year rule does encourage people to buy older classic cars which are always great to see on the street or at shows.

82Roadster Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi Guys I've been at the Adams again. Sealant, Brilliant Glaze, Americana Wax. Looking forward to buying Patriot Wax in Australia. All the best from Down Under. [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Roadster Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Just touching base, no significant changes to my Vette of late but I have a few small mechanical items to replace. New front springs, engine mounts, leads, braided brake hoses, shocks etc. Can't believe how much the cost of shipping from the US has increased over the past two years. I notice Adams now have Patriot wax available in Australia. Is it worth the $280? Would love to try it but hard to justify the cost. Keep well guys, all the best from Down Under.

Jaimes! hope you're well! Yes we are feeling the cost of shipping from the US as well but all is well and good for Adam's Australia. If you are thinking of pulling the trigger on Patriot Wax you won't be disappointed, hopefully some forum members who own/use Patriot Wax will chime in here to give their views. In the meantime here is a thread on some views of Patriot http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/26228-first-use-of-my-patriot-wax/?hl=patriot As always if there is anything we can do for you let me know! blcksilv08 and 82Roadster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 That's super nice. I'm really feeling the winter withdrawal here in PA and anxious to get the car uncovered and ready for show and cruise in season. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. 82Roadster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Roadster Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hey Aaron, I've seen photos of your CE convertible on the internet under the name Sonoma - same car???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82Roadster Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hi Guys A have a few current photos of my Convertible CE to share after suspension work which included heavy duty lowered front springs, new shocks all round, rear lowering bolts from a C4 for that extra drop and an after market rear sway bar. The Vette rides quite firmly now and the rear sway bar has sharpened the steering as well as reduced rear roll. Two improvements for the price of one. Please enjoy....

Rich Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It's not you. Photobucket changed and won't allow sharing of pics. I had a great sig picture for Adam's, and Photobucket killed it. 82Roadster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
