22's on a monaro will make it look oldschool? LOL... or newschool. Maybe one day... I like its tough attitude though. Some FR19s would look hot on it.

FR19's ?? Brett just leave it how it is and get the thing going!!! I'm hanging for it to be done.

lol mayb that sounded wrong.. wat i meant is.. they're an oldskool style wheel, but would look tuff at the same time.. i had a pic ov them on an oldskool mustang, looked the goods. ill try find it for ya. ive seen them on a re 67 camaro aswell, its a good look

Is she running?

Well it starts and runs. Sounds pretty angry, the cam is quite large. Still need to sort it all out. Runs a little rough and im not happy with a few bits and pieces, so ill spend the coming weeks just sorting out little things so that its running perfectly! Theres a problem with the auto though. I can only get 1st gear, reverse and park. Im ringing the auto bloke tomorrow. Hopefully its something simple that he can sort out for me. Therefore I didnt get to take it for a drive unfortunately. On a more exciting note my brother and I met Mick from Rodders Life on channel 31, at a party LOL... top bloke. As you can see we were just a little bit blind - hugs all 'round. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Bogan!

She's off to the auto shop tomorrow on a tow truck Poor baby. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

So the auto is all thats left?

Well hopefully. Taking it back to the engine shop after that just to re-check over everything. Tune the carby etc. The idle isnt great yet.

Well its all ready and working properly. The auto bloke wont tell me what was wrong with it. I dont really care as long as its fixed now. Ill update it when I get it home!

burnouts! good work though champ woul be awesome to drive dont ever sell it!

Ok, got it home. As I was leaving the street where the car had been the bloke that did the exhaust was out the front of his shop waving to me. I gave it half throttle in second at about 60 kays and it arked the tyres pretty hard. I could feel that one of the rear springs wasnt sitting correctly after being on the hoist so I didnt give it too much on the way home - ill fix that tonight. Other than that the car ran well. Still need to bump the idle up a touch I think as it struggles a little at the traffic lights. The gearbox feels absolutely awesome with the TCE convertor. Even though its a 5200 convertor it feels much tighter than my 4500 dominator and 3500 dominator. It feels like it actually has alot of midrange whereas these other convertors cut the midrange part out. This car is the biggest cop bait... Photos to come this weekend.

sounds good man!

meh who cares if its cop bait its a minter of a monaro enjoy it as much as you can champ good to hear that it went well

so are you bringing it out tonight.?

Engines coming out... rear main. Im over it.

OWCH!!!!!!!!!! Brett thats not good mate. was just about to type up how I saw it on friday night, and how tough it looked and sounded. Then I read that ^^^^^^ Mate dont giv up, as you should no this is the absolute JOY! of building up tough cars.......Things go wrong alot, and it really screws with your head! Just hang in there bud and dont you dare get rid of her! lmfao! It'l be back out there, rippin up the streets very soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

When he says he's over it, he means the oil leak. The motor has to come out to do the rear seal.

Did you try ditching the PCV Brett?

Engine is coming out this week. Hopefully its sorted after that. Havnt even enjoyed it yet!
