Let's get mobile!

The Qld Corvette Club's Corvettes by the Bay event is on Sunday 24 August 2025 at George Clayton Park, 55 Upper Esplanade Manly Qld.  Bluey (along with Damo and Hoges) are special guests, so it's probably time to make sure Bluey can be driven there!


Damian bought some custom made suspension spacers...


They look like they will be a bit too tall for Damian's liking, so time to cut them down...


Take one ring off and they should be good to go...


Muppet... Damian cut the wrong side of the weld, meaning the cut would need to be done again so the top of the metal is also removed!


That looks better...


And the top of the metal is gone...


Oh for Pete's sake... There's not enough thread poking through to attach the nut!  This will require some more thought...


Meanwhile, the battery didn't charge up, so it was time for a shiny new one.  Fun fact - Repco has a range of batteries that are made by Century... but branded Repco.  Same battery, different colour!  (Sadly, no discounts were provided for this commentary.)


Voila!  Installed...

So with Bluey now able to be started with the turn of a key, it's as ready as it's going to get before next weekend, other than probably getting some fuel and a wash...

Hope to see lots of people down at Manly on Sunday 24 August 2025!
