Hey guys, been some time now so i thought it is about time i updated this thread........ Got a little material happy and started covering some of my interior plastics........... what i did was the Center Console, "A" Pillers, Kick Panel's and Door handle Cover all of which came out much much better then expected....... Also brought some new things which are a 3" exhaust system, Genie Extractors, and new engine mounts along with the gear box mount. Pic's of the interior........ In this pic you can see where i drilled holes to make for the material to fold down through....... looks neater then it just being cut along the line....... Door Handle Covers Kick Panels A Piller Plastics ---------- Post added 21-11-10 at 00:00 ---------- Some good news and Some bad news..... Good new is i got my Exhaust System and it is now on the car....... has a nice sounding note but it will be going a little more louder soon...... Here is the old crappy home made exhaust that was chocking the poor old 5 litre And here is the 3" System, big difference it made too. Bad news is, the ute is up for a new engine or rebuild, after doing a service on it i found metal shavings is the oil, so that was an indication of something going wrong it was just a matter of time when it was ganna let go......... and that was friday moring going to work........ what a SOB!

Bit of a little update on the ute....... i got this carpet months ago but never got around to putting it in untill today........... the carpet was from a sedan so i had to cut it to fit, Looks 100% better then that poxy black after market crap you buy off ebay that never fits right........... The old Carpet........ The new carpet..... And some random pic's of the beast with the VT GTS on.... ---------- Post added 21-11-10 at 00:01 ---------- ........... ---------- Post added 21-11-10 at 00:01 ---------- Hey guys, bit of an update seeing as i was still in the buffing mood after doing Rees machine i decided to do mine also, so i gave it a cut using Meguiars Fine-Cut Cleaner with the buffer, then i used Meguiars Cleaner Wax. Fantastic products and not only do they work well that smell good too :P Ill have another Up-date tonight when i get home from going to Blackburn South to get the New Heart for the Ute........ Here are the pic's Before....... Looks dull and terrible. After........ (No need to explain the difference) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well today i sold the vl which was sad to see it go but it made room for bigger better things so as soon as the guy picked up the vl gave me the cash i went straight to blackburn and picked up my brand new supercharged 5ltr with forged pistons, mild head work, cam, C.O.M.E. racing twin throttle body manifold, powerflow supercharger, chipped tuned computer and intercooler (no piping) from this to this Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that motor loooks the goods mate.. i rekn put a ss front lip on the front n she'l look the bizz mate..

Thank man, Yer iv thought of putting a kit on it either AERO as my old man has one to suit a ute......... if not then it would only be there ss Body Kit. Lastnight i started to disassemble the old engine sitting in the ute........... got the loom out so i could put in on the new motor to see what plugs needed to be extended to suit it having the C.O.M.E Racing Manifold...... Easy job, i also took the time to hide the injector plugs also an easy job that really makes it look neat.......... This payday ill be getting the High Energy sump for it and will get the Oil Return line welded into that....... 1 of the 3 Plugs that needed to be re-wired. All taped up and ready to be ran to it's location. 2nd Plug that was to the Throttle Body. All taped up also. Now for the Injector plugs...... A pic of them out in the open for viewers to see......(not the best to look at........) Now they are all hidden and make that part so much neater......... And just to show you where they have been ran so they look hidden. Cheers Guys. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Last night and this morning/today i was on on it, last night i was at the stage of just undoing the front half of the car also seeing the old engine was still sitting in the bay i decided to dummy fit the charger to see how much clearance i had between the charger and the body............. then this morning i did was was left which was tail-shaft, gearbox mount, and then it was ready to be lifted out. When i was lifting the engine out i saw just how bad the rear main seal leak was.............. as soon as the engine was tilted with the back of the motor facing the ground the oil just started poring out like a tap....... Engine mounts OMFG, the worst iv ever seen, it was lucky the motor was still sitting in the right place, the rubbers were completely ripped apart in half......... Anyway got a few goodies coming tomorrow/tonight..... 3.9 LSD Diff K Frame And what eva else my m8 wants to give me hahha :P Dummy fitting the Charger... Engine all ready to be pulled up out of the engine bay....... Wont you look at that, the hard working guy thats done all the work................ hehe me when i was undoing the flywheel bolts (Loves the Rattle gun) Cheers Guys.

Today i did abit more to the Project, Got the New K-Frame in along with the Power Steering Rack, Loom was wrapped around the bay again while the brake booster found its way back in the bay, Still got to get the Brake lines for the front, Im either gunna get them off another car or make my own and have them run neatly under the car or still in the bay.......... was gunna use braded lines for the hole line but not sure if it would affect the performance of the brake line in the way of loosing pressure or something as it would be rubber not metal and being rubber would it flex? some things i still got to look into.................. anyway here are some pic's. Still with old K-Frame in....... New K-Frame and Rack.........along with a 1" Brake Booster. And with the loom back running around the bay. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

great work man, starting to come along now
