Well the system will not let me keep posting photos, something about the "Board quota filled" or some other such rubbish.
For those new to my madness regarding my (long running) saga of buying a complete dog over the internet and replacing every damn part except the shell. I am now in the process of replacing all the replaced parts with new go faster parts so I will summarise where I am up to as it has been a while.
1. Buy complete dog for $1400 over internet from dodgy car yard on the strength of a few photoshopped pictures.
2. Replace entire front suspension and brakes after it becomes obvious the car is put together arse about and is dangerous to drive.
3. Replace entire rear suspension and brakes after realising (after a spirited drive) that the rear is also put together arse about.
4. Replace 3.5l engine with a rebuilt 3.9l after it eats a valve and only runs on 7 cylinders.
5. Replace entire interior as it smells of elderly incontinent cats. Fit roll cage.
6. Replace wheels and tyres and conduct bare metal respray in green, (in my garage).
7. Move to Sydney from Darwin, destroy original gearbox in fit of unprovoked joy at getting car safely off the train.
8. Decide to rebuild car as Road Race car.
9. Replace previously fitted perfectly good 3.9l engine with 4.0l stage 3 race motor (380hp
)
10. Replace rooted original gearbox with heavy duty race box.
11. Get carried away and gut car to replace whole wiring loom.
12. Remain carried away and fit race seat, gauges, fuel cell, and numerous bits that cut the weight down by over 120kg.
13. Plan to finish the car by Christmas.
14. Realise this is a stupid and unobtainable timetable and decide to finish the car when I can.
The latest work is that the new prop shaft is in and the new Gauges are mocked up, not allowed to post photos :roll: . Still a lot of fiddly bits to go but the main bits are done except for the exhaust. I will keep this as up to date as I can.
Cheers
