Hey all havent been on for a while... had two weeks off over xmas so spent most of it on the car
Have got a baby on the way so have been trying to get as much done as possible before the arrival..
Wanted to try something different with the fuel setup so decided to build a vinyl display box for it in the boot, which will be covered with perspex, have a light in it and be intergrated into the stereo install.
Dummy fit before vinyling
vinyling
all pieces done
all installed
I also got my vacumn lines hooked up this week for my bov and reg
and i finally got my dizzy cap painted
i also finished cleaning up the wiring and fitted my coolant temp sensor which needed modifying to clear fuel rail.
Thanks for all your comments so far guys... hoping to come on a cruise this year (im hoping anyway)
Let me know wat u think cheers dave

Loving the originality of the car here.
I would also love to know how much money you have spent on speed flow fittings and braided hosing etc. Speed flow fitting and braided line for the bov? C'mon
Na awesome stuff man. This will deficiently be a one of a kind build and all your hard work and great ideas will pay off.
Things like these are even better because you have put all your great ideas to work and someone else with a fat wallet that would write a blank cheque to a company and say go nuts would never have a car as clever as this.
Great job man

jeez weezy you almost made me blush
Great to hear that man, makes all the nights in shed i bit easier to take... I don't even want to know what i have spent on earls fittings, but they have just given me a earls 15% card which is a bad sign i think.
Still have to get the -16 and -20 fittings for the radiator... think ill continue to throw out the reciepts so can never add them up
I suppose the downside to building this car myself is the length of time it is taking, working 6 days a week dosent help. Has now been off road for 3+ years which might explain why its going back together with a white body so i can drive it for a while.
Cant wait any longer
thanks again guys dave

hey all i finally got around to taking some pics of the interior... its goin to be mostly fibreglass so its taking a while to build it all....
Front door trims will be painted 2 pac white... at this stage anyway
because i fitted buckets to the rear i had to build surrounds to go around seats to fill the gaps
the gaps
Frame made
ready for cloth
ready for glassing
glassed ready for paint prep... will be painted same orange as rest of car will be.
Am goin to begin sub box next which will be between rears seats holding 4 alpine typre r 10" subs. wanted to go 12 s but they wont fit.

wat u mean not that loud
i was a little worried bout it being non directional myself, and not being loaded off anything.
but being a sealed box it should be ok.... will be a different type of bass though... subs will be reverse mounted otherwise box will be too small
