car is officialy a VLCT. first start was tonight. got it hooked up today the went to turn it over and no fuel pump prime, then after some further investigation realised no power was getting to the computer. so played around with it most of the day trying to figure out why. decided id try my old wiring loom. got it all hooked up and bingo power to the ecu. tried starting and run like absolute sit barely would idle and wouldnt rev up at all. advanced the timing a bit and now its running sweet. will chuck the timing light on tomorrow to check and still need to fit the exhaust from the dump down. has the meanest flutter... i was like a little kid at christmas. ill post up some pics and maybe a vid tomorrow.

Sean you have done extraordinarily well in the last few weeks to get as far as you have, Most people would have taken months or even years. Give your self a pat on the back. Looks fantastic. Keep up the good work

thanks bud.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqbfzwlSAxc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w26JAesXcQ need to buy a pod still, and exhaust finishs at dump pipe (just before cat) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Woah! I just read the thread from start to finish and it's unbelieveable how much work you've done in so little time top work mate. Although my I ask why you've got the accellerator cable running from the front of the motor and not from off the firewall? Just abit of a newy on the vl scene and that caught my eye lol.

thanks mate, with the accelerator cable because my cooler piping is 3'' its a very tight fit and it only just fits into the bracket. you can see in the pic how the cable is bent on the piping. when i had it running the normal way it was an even tighter fit and i was having trouble with the cable poping out of the bracket.

i love this build Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ohh yeah that makes sense. well top build mate, lets see some pics from the outside when ya get a chance. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i will get some pics of the exterior when its done and clean. not a real lot has happened. except have a pod and bracket, did some more on the interior. and now its in the turbo section.. did some tidying up of the bay today. pretty much complete now. just need bracket for brake master, and plumb in rear oil breather Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looking really good Sean, where did You get the battery bag? I want one for mine!

Thanks mate, car that came into work. some holden mini van thingo fairly late model cant remember exactly what it was from to long ago now, but we put a new battery in it and the bag didnt fit anymore so i saved it from going in the trash lol. it needs abit of a clean been sitting in the shed for awhile

any idea when ya will have it back on the road???

well hopefully diff will be going in this weekend. have been slowly getting exhaust to all fit, have cat converter fitted now but cat back system seems a bit to short, really have to pull it in to get it to fit. need to replace brake line from master to rear of the car then bleed brakes. interior 95% complete fix power steering leak fit new fuse rail fill gearbox with oil, and wire up senders fit front bar get chip fixed in front windscreen fix hazards (flash really really fast) think thats the last of it lol probably forgot a few little things but getting there. as for an actual date not really sure hopefully soon. list just never seems to end

well ya getting there mate. keep up the good work. i bet the side skirts made a big difference.

good to see mate car is looking good!

thanks guys. yeah didnt really realize how much work it was gonna be but im sure ill be happy with it at the end.

exhaust is fitted and very quiet lol, good for regency i supose. and front bar is on, Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol at the flying effect

Diff is in, brakes all hooked up ready for a bleed. Got my new seat belts today. installed fronts still have to do rears. Noticed an oil leak well more of a puddle forming the other day very quickly. got down had a look and the front crank seal was leaking so wasn't very happy.. Front of motor is stripped down and old seal is out, ready to put new seal in and be put back together tomorrow.. great way to spend my aus day lol.
