Yep, and that's putting it mildly.

Always interested in seeing what's happening across the pond, and that's some project you got going there. Really interested to see the end result. Post up more photos when you return from work.

Cheers Minx
Back today and straight into it. Picked up bolts for the gearbox and such. Fuel lines were in and turned out really well, same with the clutch and brake lines.













And theres her final resting place. Oil filter will be taken off that angled adapter to clear the pit arm. Transmission mount needed a bit of grinding to clear the fuel tank and a new plug for the alternator as the one they fitted is wrong. All in all went quite smoothly, though may need some new or slightly bigger springs in the front to level her out again. Getting it towed to MCE motorsports in wangara on Monday to fabb up some custom extractors and to modify the exhaust I have for it. Otherwise its a pretty quiet time here.

Have a wedding to go to this weekend so not much else will be done. Gunna try and get the transfer case all ready to be bolted in if i'm not too hungover. Herd back from torq axles and there is going to be a 2 week or so delay as his axle supplier is having a hard time keeping up the orders.


Suspension is getting close to being figured out and will probably order it in a month or so...going to have to get me hands nice n steady as it looks like a lot of body chopping

I'd guess the stands came out of the crate the diff was packed/shipped in.
