Was supposed to be today but every time I want to move the car the heavens open damned hole in the roof and no rear screen... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Getting there slowly. Will be worth it come summer time and you have your moon roof open!

ok, no probs, friday is 'suppose' to be good weather but who knows. moon roof? man the size of that thing will make it feel like ur in a convertible.

Haha it's not quite a moon roof! It is pretty much gutter to gutter though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Finally got the standard throttle cable shortened by a mob near work. No joke it's about a third the length of the standard throttle cable and didn't even set me back $50 so I was cheering. I can finally sit in the drivers seat and rev it out! Hoping to give the car a bit of time this weekend. I pulled the plugs last night and they're blacker than a Queensland State of Origin player so I'll replace them and change the oil at the same time which should have the motor a little happier to be alive. Also have to fix a problem with the IAC - I think in my heavy handedness with the vacuum blanks I've blocked it off which is making starting the car very hard indeed. When it does start though the sound is awesome - few things are more satisfying after building the car for 12 months than standing back and just listening to it idle perfectly. Few other tiny jobs like blocking off one of the factory water lines (really wish I'd done this with the engine out!), installing a fitting to the power steering rack so I can finally run the low pressure return line from the rack to the resevoir and sorting out the issue with the brake booster. I've ordered the turbo check valve and the non turbo check valve but neither fit - what booster have I got?!?! Might even finish fitting all the bar skirts, refit the front bar, wash it and get some new pics up! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

pinstripe?

Not yet but it's a necessity. Need the pinstripe, the red walls and the door moulds on to finish this thing aesthetically. Oh, and that gaping hole in the roof to be filled but we don't talk about that.

how long til the roof is in

Liam, what would an average sized electric sunroof set me back installed? Much trouble or more than it's worth?

Probably between $2-3,000 man, as your car is straight it'd just be a matter of cutting the hole and you'd be right! I don't know if I'd go through the hassle again, though. My install is costing me even more than that, but that's got a lot to do with me getting carried away! A bigger sun roof? Fantastic idea! Top of the range you say? Why not! Top half respray? Better convert to VT window rubbers, and so on and so forth. At the moment it's a bit of a hassle but I reckon it'll be worth it in the end. To put it bluntly if I never had the hole in the roof to begin with I wouldn't have even thought about cutting one.

Ahk, I think I'll give that a miss, I thaught roughly 1500 but 2-3k, thats a 6 point cage for me Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Gave the car a wash over the weekend (excuse the low-res pics). Still isn't driving, but after an oil and plug change it's humming along quite nicely. I really have to get the year old fuel out of the tank though! Car should be out of my driveway and back at the shop by the week's end getting the diff looked after (finally got some 4.11s!) and the clutch sorted. Then it's drivable!

wooo exciting stuff ay man

Haha it's getting there man. Since I can't drive my minitruck anymore I have to finish the VL so I can at least get around!
