so the Master Cylinder needs a service then Ken,

Brakes are important,

also the Drop Tank is a bit low at the Bumper. Dave I

Ive decided to have a go at trimming up the boot myself.

Ive fitted carpet that covers up all the bolts bolting the fuel cell in, and i've made some MDF boards for the sides . . . . . . thats a start.......

A little side project from the Boot trimming, (while waiting for glue to dry) I started fitting up an oil cooler.

I think I'll paint the bracket before the final fit.

Just finished a Sub box for my boot.

It looks similar to store bough ones in dimension, but I couldn't find one the right size for what I want to do........It still meets the requirements for the sub I'm using too.

Having abit of a muck around with the rear end,

I already bought a few bits and pieces to put in. While puling out the old upper trailing arms it seems the drivers bolt was loose and has flogged out the arm.......That's what that noise was!!!

And a pic of the new stuff going in.

Pretty much have the whole rear end back together . . . . . . . i've moved the diff housing forward so that the wheels are more central in the guards from side on view, but I'm pretty sure the tailshaft is now too long.

Nice rear end set up Ken. Where'd you get the upper & lower trailing arms from? Cheers :spoton:

The uppers are Rod tech (SA) and the lowers are mcdonald bros racing (melbourne), but the rears don't come adjustable, I got a guy in sydney called SCF racecars to make them adjustable.

I ran the lowers for years non adjustable, but something is wrong somewhere, maybe my brackets have been welded onto my housing incorrectly (diff came with the car).

The bushes that originally came with the lowers from Mcdonald bros racing were superpro, and were flogged out. Ive put in Nolathane ones now.

Uppers are all factory style rubber.

Good you reminded me - I still haven't heard back from them with a price or shipping cost. Maybe they don't need the international business?? lol :huh:
