    Greetings from Sydney's Inner West!

    Howdy all,

    First time kit builder but I have messed around with tweaking and re-working existing guitars for a number of years. I am also horribly afflicted with GAS.

    I'm beginning a build on a EXA-1, with some modifications. Will post once I get it a bit more advanced.

    Welcome to the GAS Ranch Franken. Keen to see and hear what your plans are for your new axe.

    This forum is a great source of knowledge, wit and humour and encourage you to ask many questions and contribute where you can.

    Spent longer working under the lion symbol than a blue oval.
    What are you going to barrack for once they kill off the Commodore which is the only Holden bit left as all other passenger cars are re-badged Daewoos and the utes run Fiat motors due a dispute with Isuzu? Almost forgot the Opels coming back into the lion family which surprisingly were less reliable than Daewoos.
