yeah i noticed ill try once again well guys this is the best post ive done in 5 years!!!! my engine bay is finished the 35/82 is on and the top radiator hose all done strut brace fitted also and everything painted. car starts and runs (roughly but needs tune) had various coolant leaks to fix which is something i didnt expect from 200 and 300 dollar fittings!!! but ohwell some pics.... next job is too finish perpex in boot on fuel box then work out the brakes brakes are new front and rear... have bled them without car running months ago but still pedal goes to floor might rebleed with car runnning and hope that fixes it hope its not booster or master cylinder as they have both been painted 2 pac once sorted the brake issue its time to hit the dyno for a tune thanks for all the comment so far guys will keep this updated Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

engine is absolutley amazing as well as the bay cant wait to see it all done and completed... whens the restof the car getting painted...?

thanks man.... car will get painted after tuning is done dont want it to get scratched.. i have spare calais front, new bumpers, bonnet, guards etc and will begin painting these off the car i cant wait Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mate this thing is looking AMAZING! The amount of time an money you have put in so far is unreal, an its home built which makes it that much better The bay looks flawless, Keep up the good work this is going to be one hot vl when its finished

You sir have some extreme attention to detail!!! Just don't let it end up sitting in your garage and not getting driven.

hey all... have got heaps done on the car lately even though might not look it have stripped all the limo tint and fitted up most of the interior... had brake master cylinder rebuilt and fitted new clutchmaster cylinder also fitted bonnet, chrome bonnet struts, bumper and plates car is running... like a dog on base microtech tune. but has a shudder when taking off so need to sort this before chucking on the dyno.. its not the tailshaft so im hoping gearbox mounts fingers crossed.. i dont really want to pull out the diff the body looks like **** but dont worry bout that will get sorted after tune and racing parcel shelf and sub box still need to be painted they are in primer at the moment... hope you guys like it cheers for all the comments dave Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

just dont smash it the first time u race it, that would suck so much look at the brakes, thier almost as big as wheels lol

dont even say it man im not planning to gonna tune it with no boost controller first so just a nice safe tune on lowish boost to get a few kms on the motor.. been sitting for so long now Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

just WOW. Awesome.

Nice!!! Brakes look huge, once the body is painted in the same colour as the bay that is going to look insane!!!

thanks guys.... yeah the brakes are 330mm on front, 315mm rears... cant fit anything smaller than 17s now i know the body is a bit embarassing but thats what u get with projects i spose Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hell yeah man... bubbles as big as golf balls when it cooled down looked like hammer tone finish why u ask zac? you dont like the heat shield? im not a huge fan of it cause of all the panel work that went in behind it now is hidden... but dont really have a choice if i fix the panit (removing heaps of parts) it may happen again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i didnt even notice it lol
