Thanks guys
Cheers Mo!
I've been pretty damn consistant with progress on this car so i won't let yous down
Exhaust is mostly in, to the diff will do for now
Full stainless from the 4-1's
3" Magnaflow cats
"Tapper Special" X-Pipe
Steps down into 2.5" then into Magnaflow muffllers
Pretty happy with it

Yeah it sucks, will throw a thread up on his Dodge me and my brothers will be keeping up to scratch and cruising the hell out of.
Its a bummer he didn't get to see it which was the whole idea of the conversion so the first and last skid it does will be a good one!
Had some good/bad news today though, had a really good mate (Josh from Metalcraft) come and check what needs to be done for fuel system, tranny lines, remote oil filter lines and intake and a plan has been made but he can't get me into his workshop for a bit
The good thing about this is i'll have time to do the loom perfectly, some custom and moved brake lines and mod the torana handbrake cable to fit the R31 calipers.
Updates will still be constant of course!

Sorry for late reply, this project is kind of shelved because it reminds me too much of the old man so i don't go in its shed all that much. Will concentrate on making the kinger a nice cruiser for now which i didn't end up selling.

Nothing has changed Mo... did get offered some more workshop space but couldn't come up with the cash due to the VR still not selling.

the torana will never be sold as much as it depresses me
made a promise to the original owner
i'm kind of hoping it gets a defect after hitting the road so i've got an excuse for injected 8/71 setup... or atleast the LS1 lets go so i can build a nice iron block stroker for it.
Kingswood/VR on the other hand, i wish they would sell haha
