looking tough mate!!!

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! Well done with sticking with it after your little bad luck run ins well worth the wait and hardship

cheers guys, got fusebox re wired and back into engine bay tonight, will be putting engine bay wiring loom in tomorrow then heater box can go back in and i can get the interior back together, thats the plans for the weekend. will post some progress pics as i go

Looking forward to seeing this on the cruise next month, looks like one tough bus!

well got heaterbox in, all dash back together, feels good to be able to sit in it and have it looking like a car again. enginebay wiring loom is in. still need to do battery to boot wiring. few pics. how engine bay sits. quick interior pic and a pic of how my cam gear fits that i got off of ebay, im 99% sure its a rb20/25/26 one, fits perfect on a rb25 anyway. so im gonna have to buy a brand new one, not very happy about it, trying to get my money back through paypal but see how i go.

yehhh i like it thumbs up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

roll master cam gear purchased, put that on today with my gates racing timing belt. also put ef coil pack on, just need to get the end of my coil lead changed to suit.

very nice work mate seeing this kind of detail to the bay makes me wish i took the time to do it also.

cheers guys, new set of plugs in and leads on. did the battery wiring over the weekend. still need to run the main cable off of the starter to the boot and finish the boot end of the set up. all engine bay wiring is done. hidden pretty well.

ok have decided to make a few changes to the plans for the vl, have sold my nistune and rx7 550cc injectors, am also looing to sell the plenum. will be getting a set of 1000cc injectors and running e85, replacing the nistune with a microtech. Reason for changing the plenum is after bolting it up doesnt line up with my piping, would be better for a no holes kit i recon. surge tank i bought has twin outlets so will be runnign two 044's. this change will most likely set the build back a fair bit as its gonna invole a fair bit more money, but definately should smash 300kw on e85.

Get 1600cc injectors so you don't have to upgrade again down the track lol

Havnt updated for a while. Havnt really had any spare money to spend on it. Bought some 1000cc Rochester injectors today. That's about all there is to update lol. Hopefully get a rail in the next few weeks then hook the fuel system up under the bay then will buy my two 044s and finish the boot off.

little has happened lately, really had no money for it. went out there today and took turbo off, was only dummy fitted. replaced manifold studs with new ones. am gonna get al my fittings for turbo lines before i put the manifold back on, and also wrap dump pipe with heat wrap. few pics. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nice mate. gonna look shmicko when its done. have you thought about doing all the welsh plugs while everything is off? kinda wish i did because i cant be stuffed taking everything off again if one starts leaking.
