Mate - hats off to you. Awesome build! car looks amazing. I love the detail you have gone into for things like the wiring, not often done! Definately be keeping on eye on this thread

Been pretty busy with school holidays at work do not a lot to update... Just about all the wiring is done now and hooked power up and everything seems to be working properly (alarm, windows, stereo, window washers, starter cranks over, fuel pumps working etc). Ive started painting up the dash in black to match the new interior I bought and also pulled out the fuel tank and painted it up as shown below. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Been running all the wiring, vac lines, bonnet cable etc through the guards to the headlights etc and around the wheel arches to the starter motor, alarm, boost solenoid, map sensors, air/fuel ratio gauge sender etc off and on for the fast few weeks. Also finished painting all the dash black and put it all back inside the car. Just waiting on the black roof trim and the black plush pile carpet to be finished so I can put them and the new seats in it. Also planning on prepping and painting the calais nosecone baseplate this week and putting the guards back on the front of the car. Will post some more pics after this weekend with some more progress. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

very very nice mate. keep it up.

very nice job. Just started doing this to mine and its not the most fun job...

Thanks for the comments guys! Just a quick post picked up my surge tank, cooler pipes, fuel pump, catch can, power steer res, coolant overflow,window washer bottle, front turbo housing and a few bits off my amps from the polishers yesterday. Very happy with how they turned out! Just waiting on the radiator and fan shroud to be done now! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Shiney Shiney!!! Loving it mate

Interior 95% in and done. Sparco front race seats with door trims and rear seat to match. I painted all the dash up black and had the roof trim made up and rear c pillars trimmed and installed it all myself, had to trim it to fit, cutting holes for lights etc. Also Quicksilver shifter, hsv pedals, autometer cluster and gauges in sunglasses holder. Pretty happy with how it has all turned out so far. Radiator all polished up and base plate for calais nosecone all rubbed back and resprayed black. Put most of the polished bits all back in the bay which is now also about 85% complete. Just waiting on the fittings and hose for the top radiator hose and the solid brake lines to be made up and I can check it all over and add fluids. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yer I wasnt originally going to do the dash black but nothing else would really go with the blue of the trim and I think the black tones it down and blends it all together nicely. Got the turbo beanie second hand off ebay (didnt fit on the turbo the guy bought) but is a good one so got a $250 beanie for like $80 and is still like new.

I thought you were putting leather Coulsen trim in it?

looks good mate!! Coming along nicely

Couple of small updates, billet fitting and braided vac line for the brake booster and braided top radiator hose with fittings. Will get the solid brake lines made up this week hopefully then start making sure everything is tightened up and start adding all the fluids. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The braid is a cool touch! But isn't that top radiator hose too small?

Nah its a -16AN top hose (looks smaill in the pic as well), and I asked a few people and they seemed to think it should be fine

looks good mong but most ppl use -20 for top rad hoses but u should be fine

Been working on my boot install for the past few weeks... subs, amps, surge tank and battery all built in with blue lighting throughout and sub box mirrored inside. The panels on the sides casing in the surge tank and battery are both removable so you can access them if needed... All thats left to do to the boot now is trim the underside of the boot lid and also cut some carpet into round pieces to hide the screws holding the subs in. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you have to much time and money on your hands levi

Lets go for a cruise homo.
