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:

Didnt say when.

Ne way, to pick up approximately where i left off, lets start with what everyone has been waiting for.

Rolled her outside to get some snaps

Posted Image

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?

Just fusebox mate....I rarely wear gloves.

Over three years after piecing this bit of crap together, finally

Posted Image

Cheers to Cruiza for randomly dropping around as it was going in and giving me a hand/driving me nuts.

Random
Posted Image

Next i threw the carbs and a few other bits on and worked out what i needed..
Posted Image

Another Summit order, lol
Posted Image

Got these nifty storage bins from Autobarn
Posted Image

Great when you have eleventy billion little fittings.

Three vac guages at $19 each and a holder at $9 and i have a new sync tool
Posted Image

New fuel line
Posted Image

Started with the plumbing work

Posted Image

Hmmmmm

Also started modding my old breather tank with the worlds most complex baffle system and AN fittings
Posted Image

And cut up a couple of fuel tanks to make one good one hehehe

Posted Image

Painted my door catches and scuff plates
Posted Image

Fitted the catches
Posted Image

Seeing them with the nice stainless bolts makes me want to do more....Stupid shiny stuff.

More to come once again the forums yelled at me for posting to many picks

Cheers.

Righto, last bit for now.

Did some more plumbing
Posted Image

Made a mount to fit my new trans cooler and plumbed it up
Posted Image

Random

Also attempted to weld up my breather tank

Posted Image

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.

Mangledness
Posted Image

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.

Cheers.

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 ???
