I like the all black engine, I personally think the blue joiners are a massive let down. Otherwise looks nice Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It looks like 3inch. I could be wrong, take 1 off and measure it from end to end. Done.

Car actually has rego and drives on the street now, its dropping trans fluid like no tomorrow but apparently i just need a flexible braided dipstick because the one on the trimatic now doesnt work. Good fun to drive though, it feels alot more mental than any of my other cars lol
