I haven't even had a chance to put it into my garage yet...

Between ongoing mods to a mate's car, helping my struggling daughter with maths and soon science, trying to catch up to the assignments I'm myself meant to be submitting for an online course in computer science (mastering C language and logic has overtaken all my spare thoughts for a bit. My brain is small), helping the missus with her new back injury around here, doing my trade to help pay bills, falling behind in home gardening and maintenance, myself being laid out crook for 2 days, birthday parties...




I've pretty well concluded (submitted to) we won't be going wheeling anytime soon, unless I choose the quickest path to getting it humming along again. Looks like rebuild existing 4.7, possibly supercharging if funds permit.

Diesel swaps, other V8/stroked 6 swaps aren't looking remotely possible at the moment.

Changing trannies, ecm tcm's, shifter mechanisms, radiators, support crossmembers, misc brackets, exhaust systems, fuel pumps, electrics, is just farrrrrr too all consuming for little old me at the moment

In approx 10 days I'll start tearing it down. I think

Noticed the right rear door is dented pretty gnarly.
Asked what happened, my father was driving, swerved to avoid someone coming head on, on the wrong side of the road. The third car only had a taillight messed up. And the dumbass who was on the wrong side of the road drove away

Oh, well, at least everybody is safe, the rear fender only got a scratch, door still opens and closes.

No pictures but I changed the transmission fluid, since I drove 37.000 km after the rebuilding it.
The fluid was dark red and there was minimal graphite material on the pan magnet. Filter media looked clean on the intake side.
