Love your work Les!

Get the tailpipes flanged so you can dump them at the diff when you feel like making noise!

But if you can get good pipes made up that are tucked up nice and high you cant go wrong.

I can't wait to see this car when you bring it across the water!!!

Nice work though jeff haha, thanks for going to all the effort, just searching ebay for one like that now lol. I honestly thought they were a chev engine and also really like the bowtie which is why i was considering it, but don't think i'll bother now haha.

I am sure if I had enough call for them, I could make a run of the badges... ha ha..

And if you like the bowtie that much, just run it! Who cares if the engine was used in more than just Chev's...do what you like I reckon (and it's something easy to change as well if you got tired of it after a while.)

Thanks Matt, yeah I can't wait for the trip either, will have to plan it well in advance as i'd like to catch up and meet a few of you boys and do a little crusie. The exhaust going to the tailpipes is flanged on both sides just before it heads under the diff and pointing on an angle at the ground hehe, and hopefully I can tuck the back pipes up a bit more at the back so i can run them and also be happy with the look.

LOL Jeff you might make some serious coin out of this haha. It's ok I think i'll go without the badge to start with as like sledge has suggested it does look clean and tidy and the missus also prefers it without it aswell.

Boot looks great and Engine bay looks sharp!

I almost forgot what they look like with the factory intake, so used to my Edelbrock one now, ha ha... (and with your side covers as well)

Really cool how you can change the look of the same basic engine so much even for the modern stuff.

That bay is beautiful, the paint is amazing, the boot setup is awesome and the interior is stunning.

This is without a doubt one of my favourite cars.
I love those rear seats.

Well done, she is absolutely beautiful.

Wow man that's all I can say.

That interior looks mint, engine looks great in the bay and the paint and wheels suit the car nicely.

Just goes to show what you can do if you have a solid plan and stick to it.

Thanks for all the comments, it's very much appreciated. Theres still a few bits and pieces to do yet and a lot of things im not happy with, BUT, It's registered, whooohooo. So now i can take my time and finish it off properly, I really need to line them back flares up properly, but i've just been to lazy to pull the boot apart to get to the nuts. Heres a few pics of where it is at the moment.
