Looks so clean and straight. Well done. I'm surprised you haven't tried a billet wheel on there yet

Nice......

I like the colour Bomber. A well executed 4 door like this and Chris' car (OrangeLJ) always give great results.
Looks like it will be complete for Toranafest this year :3gears:

Yeah not much will be staying the same, the color, number plates and seats are about the only things im not changing/redoing.

Worlds slowest build but i do just about everything myself so meh.

Then the car once again sat idle while i waited for my machinist to do some stuff to my flexplate, ordered my torque converter, Summit order, etc

Posted Image

And i did some wiring. I hate wiring. Made up a mount fot 2 2 5/8" guages where the head unit used to go, made a new switch holder as the console wont be going back in, mounted my transbrake switch, made a mount for my LM-2 and started hard wiring that in, general stuff you do whilst waiting on stuff to put the engine in.

Looking nice!

I like the wiring behind the glovebox. Will you use it as a glovebox or just a fusebox?

That far so good, but i must have warped one of the fittings as it wouldnt screw up. So i tried running a steel cap onto it to clean it up, went on alright then just bound up and wouldnt come off. I ended up putting a big frOck off spanner on it and leaning on it like all buggery, and the fitting broke off. Oh well.

Thats about all i really have picks of atm, i have modded and fitted up the strakkies and a few other bibs and bobs but nothing overly exciting.

Besides it's hard to fit gloves whilst wearing lil white mittens "EH Bomber" We all know you don't need a glovebox as those fluffy hand warmers never leave your grubby paws :innocent: Good to see you adhere to OH&S but mate where's yo bloody flip flops incase you tread on a metal splinter ???
