Car looks nice mate, colour looks different (the only thing I would do is spray the side skirts black instead of silver for a cleaner look) Engine has got all the goodies, good luck with running it I thought you can't drive turbo/v8s in nsw if you're on your p's? also the trim, they look like vr seats retrimmed in leather, that right?

$53,000? I take it a fair bit of that was the original purchase of the car? Thats not one of those cheap exhaust manifolds is it? Not having a go at you but as you said it seems like you have paid out your ass?

Not having a go at you but as you said it seems like you have paid out your ass? gettin a new manifold quoted right now yeah this build has set me back quite a bit and still not finished when u add it up buildin your own adds up very quikly like for example 1200 rods 1000 pistons 3000 turbo nad manifold 1500 plenum and thottle body 5000 powerglide 1100 injectors and rail at least 1000 in braided lines piping, cooler, tuning, all the head work, labour, wastegates blow off valves, 4500 on a haltech wnd wiring, preping everythin like block crank, it just blows out whatever u think ur gunna spend on a build triple it thats what happened with my build lol
