10-02-05, 11:45 GMT+10#24 Yes he was a painter for a few years. For those asking about the plenum. The original intake was just cut off with a grinder and a plate welded over the hole. The new hole was cut in the other side. The new intake was cut and welded on. He used a Di-grinder on the tight corners and a Polly fan on a 4 inch grinder to smooth off the welds. It was then undercoated and 2-pak'd.

10-02-05, 11:57 GMT+10#25 How does it go? It must hoot. Very nice job indeed. Agree with the plenum comments. However disagree with the dash comments. Good job and a nice touch, Its not just an BR30 conversion - its a VL conversion! Congrats.

10-02-05, 17:28 GMT+10#30 very very nice! love how the extra room of the torana bay allows u to run the turbo high and to the side like that, just needs a bigger turbs to make it look more evil!
