Things starting to look good mate have some fun with it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

finished painting the SSV's today Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bit of an update, the SSV's r done and tyres back on, i like em, they look a lot better in the sun also got the top end of the motor apart to fit the ARP head studs, cometic, valve springs and cam gears. anyone wondering why the motors on the ground is because it fell over off the engine stand lol broke the snout off the water pump, scratched the tappet cover and broke a piece off the coil cover, everything else seems to be ok. looks like the 2 speed will be finished by thursday and the converter got started on today, as soon as i get the box back the motor n box will be fitted to the car, before mid next by the look of it the LT16, loom, X6 igniter box and hand controller are on there way, should be here before sat.

what colour did you paint the wheels? From my phone, it kinda looks like Ford's ego?

its a custom gunmetal grey i made at work with coarse aluminium, black, silver, white and purple pearl Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Wheels look hot mate!

Looking awesome mate. Should be top notch when completed.

Keep in mind everyone scotty does 80-90% of the work himself with only a Left arm. Your my hero Scotty, this will be an epic st car dude. Whitey

proboost turbo?

Haha thanks Whitey, can't wait to feel that torque hey if I couldn't do the things i can still do when it comes to working on cars I don't think I'd be here still Yeah was the perfect day to paint ey, took 3 days though to wait for the right one lol Thanks 2rismo, I think i got the colour spot on, looks better in person Nah not proboost, it came from those guys overseas, the ones who look like they are always squinting Should rip. Also today I pulled out the passenger seat to weld up the bracket as a mate sat in it at the wrong angle or something and it broke, welded it, sanded it and painted it to stop rust Then while the seat was out it was the perfect time to run the power cable to the starter.
