sounds like it will be an interesting project cant wait to see it complete

oh yer this is a great project man.cant wait to see it done..its good to see people are goin out the square and being differnt

Hey thanks for all the comments guys, i cant wait either, just finished pulling out the whole dash and there is soooo much rust in the front windscreen, aaaaaaahhhhhhh. Might need to reases priorities Thought i'd add this, the Rb30 is nothing to be ashamed about thats for sure. Hey people just a little update, pulled the engine and trans out 2day, was pretty straightforward. Pulled the manifold off and thats for sale if anyones interested. Also pulled the whole dash apart, im suprised the windscreen was still in there by all the rust that was holding it in. Gotta get that fixed asap! photos Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey mate how much you want complete motor got cash sittin here waiting??

Scotty, hope your going to paint the engine bay, go gloss black.

Yeah bloody oath i am, gloss black you reckon??? I was gonna just get it undercoated and then get it done the same colour as the car, what yas reckon?

gloss black shows no oil leaks

I vote for same colour as the car. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

gloss black will make the turbo and braided lines stand out.

Yeah i been thinking about this all day now and i like the gloss black idea. Go for a polished metal (turbo, cooler pipes) and black engine bay theme with a little body colour here and there.

I had the same idea man, but when it comes down to it a black bay in anything younger than a torana etc looks like you skimmped on it. I dont know if ur goin for looks or speed or both. if its purely speed go black no point in wasting the money.I feel when its all done and you look at other vl bays colour coded you will end up doing it again if you go black.

Same colour as the car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

go same colour as the car

I was jokin about going black, calais25t is correct it will look crap unless it's in an old school muscle car, I would go the same body colour and polish everything

SOLD Yeah i prefer the body colour in the bay aswell, see how it goes might be changing the colour anyways, see what happens. Thanks everyone for the comments.

It's only coz the LS1 takes up 99% of the bay, where an RB engine you see more of the inner guards, look at GAS747 engine bay, i bloody loved the gloss black look. Scotty's will be all show with a F-load of GO. We have just figures out how to control his gear shifting with one arm, "which has to be on the steering wheel at all times"... We are setting up a dummy clutch pedal with a 2 way switch located on the pedal, it will be controlled by a PCS auto control module with a "up shift" toe pushed forward, and a "down shift" heel kicked back. This will allow Scott to maintain his one hand on the steering wheel at all times but when in gauged, like a trip tronic setup, sports mode where he can up shift via his foot.
