Hey mate, Adam charged me under $120 per catch can. Which is a pretty good price! I've gone through 4 different catch cans, and wished I'd just had them custom made in the first place!
Give him a call mate, he's a top bloke and absolutely awesome at what he does!

Well yesterday, actually this morning, was fun.....
We started work at 7PM last night and didn't leave the garage until 2:30 this morning, the end result however is well worth it!
So, sound deadening is finally complete! There is prob around 200sq/f of FatMat in this car, add to this around 60L of brush on sound deadener and then a nice this underfelt to make it all squishy! It's probably massive overkill, but I had the time and patience so why not!
And after some cutting, stretching, poking and swearing this is the end result...

We have an interior people! Absolutely stoked with the way it turned out! Still a fair bit to do, but, for now it's awesome to be able to actually sit comfortably in the car! Love it!
That's it for today, we will be working on it some more over the weekend! Will keep you all posted!

Oh sorry mate, misunderstood!
Andrew from MSCN is awesome. Top bloke to deal with, very methodic in his work and takes the time to do it right the first time.
I was actually very surprised with the price. I had my entire fuel system plumbed in Teflon, both stainless and black braid, all the fittings and also had the brake lines plumbed for $1600. I'm still not finished, but do not expect it to cost me more than $2000. Extremely reasonable considering I know people who have been charged over $1500 for just fuel lines.
All depends on your setup really, mine was relatively easy!
Hope that helps!

So update....
Andrew, from MSCN, came back earlier this week and finished off the breadlines and catch cans! After 5yrs I can now stop my car using the brakes and not the handbrake...super exciting!
Here's a few pics of the finished product:
The catch cans turned out absolutely awesome! When the radiator is back in it will look symmetrical, which is what I've been looking for!
So once that was completed we started to tackle the shifter. So we made a drop base that measured 2inch at front and 3inch on the rear from **** lowing around the house. We added the incline cause when we had it sitting flat it felt weird when shifting, this allows the shifter to sit snug in my hand. So the shifter is pretty much in, just need to tighten everything up!
Pics:
So the radiator will be going in the final time this week, which will mean everything in the engine bay is done.
So the official list of things left to do before it goes to Mansweto is:
- throw in door trims
- throw in tail shaft
- throw in new head lining
- throw in top half of the dash
So as you can see it's just little fiddly things before it goes back to Mansweto to be fired and tuned!
CANNOT WAIT! Will keep you all posted!
