Nothing Special. Future Mods..... T56 6 Speed Manual Conversion. Heads and Cam Combo. Diff Gears. Exhaust System. Interior. Gauges on Bonnet. And what ever else the future brings me...... In the Garage after just getting her home.... Monday morning got her out so I could detail it...... Body was so dirty.... Interior wasn't much better lol....... Found $10 in that crap..... that's what paid for it to be washed Getting there with it being clean and respectable..... All washed, and running around with the 20" VE GTS Wheels...... And when the wheels were off, i got a little paint happy and painted the Rotors black and the Callipers Red..... Stay Tuned for the future mods and upgrades happen over time. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well today I started to clean up the engine bay trying to find out where its leaking its oil from and im sure its the rear main seal now after checking the oil Pressure switch and it not being that. Here are some pic's of what I did. Engine looking dirty and not very well maintained...... The work begins on taking the manifold off..... Was really dirty and a heap of build up of dirt and oil....... Rocker Cover cleaned up and painted...... Cleaned up and now in the stages of putting it all back together....... Both rocker covers painted and put back on with new Gaskets........ Job Done, So much cleaner and respectable...... And a shot from up high........ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looking good mate.. welldone on cleaning it up, was pretty sad before hand.

thanks man, I spent just over 4 and a half hours giving the Ute a buff which it really needed...... I didn't realise just how badly it needed it, had Tar all over the place. At the same time of buffing it I took the badges off the tailgate which I honestly think it makes it look so much cleaner.... Only got pic's of the tailgate, by the time I had finished the car it was too dark so later today ill take some snap shots of her. Due to the head lights being dull/faded and with little marks in it from it going down loose gravel roads, I rubbed the lens back with some 800 sand paper and then buffed them making them look almost brand new again, Saved my self $350 on getting new lights for it I also Got some LS1 Engine Covers from a good mate of mine.....They also look alot better and tidy up the engine bay. Later today I will be replacing the Fuel Sender Unit due to mine always reading a full tank....... Here's the pic's I took. Before I started the Back....... Half done....... All done with the "Holden" badge gone and the "SS" badge Here's a pic of it at work....... Headlight rubbed back........ Half buffed..... Gives ya an idea All done and looking close to new, alot cleaner then what they were. And the new engine covers..... Wanted the HSV type from the GTS's but these look just as good....... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

And Here is a pic of some goodies that came in the mail today....... They will be going on the bonnet, Oil Press, Fuel Press, Water Temp and Volts, just have to get some Cups for them....... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
