Yeap made those base plates out of steel pipeing... then bolted them to original holes in the seat.... then the torana rails will bolt to the base plates... hopefull ill have at least one seat in tomorow... the hight of the seats should be perfect
Lets hope we can get out motors running soon
cheers,

haha Best of luck to both of you on that one. 16" is bloody big for a thermo, what type of fan is that and what radiator is it neatly mounted to?Lets hope we can get out motors running soon
BTW the red colour coding of the coils, extractors, head etc all looks really great together, good luck with the project Nathan!

Is quite a large thermo fan, but fits the comodore radiator well. it isnt hard to fit the comodore radiators and there quite abit better then the standard torana ones. unfortunatly it didnt come with a thermal switch so ill have to just use a standard switch for now.
Not sure what brand it is, but was a very good price and im sure it will perform ok.
cheers,

A few of you guys where interested in what i was going to do on the tail lights, Here is some pics, had a few sets so i have pictures with the standard tail lights on.
All blackouts on the car have been sprayed in Phantom mica, luv the colour, goes real metallic in the light

Tail lights are very nice too, they look like an original taillight, but with the flaw removed; they don't look like some cheapo ricer 'masking effect' which would suck, congratulations with the result.

Very proud, cant wait till its finished, not long now
Thought about putting in black vertical lines on the tail lights but i didnt as it would look like a ricer, they dont look so much like bubbles now should look even better once the chrome eventually goes on
cheers,
nathan
