here is some arc welded awesomeness

Busted out my mad cad skills

The new engine is getting balanced so its getting closer to being finished. I've just ordered pretty much all of the suspension bushes for this.I will need to crack into mounting the interfooler and piping as my tuner is heading away in 7 weeks

I've ordered some exhaust gaskets and a carb calibration kit. Will get the mrs to pick up a new dizzy from segedins tomorrow as its cheaper than getting a new coil,cap, and rotor. Hopefully that will help the missfire and I'll know everything is good when it comes time to tune it

i'd love to have to have mint this low but is probably not livable. I do like the quad exhaust tip though so after a few drinks I dragged my arc welder out and started. It looks ok considering the tools and level of caring I had

Been a month and all I've done is chang the oil and put a shiny air filter housing on it, Oh and new rocker cover gaskets. I've ordered a calibration kit for the carb and will attempt to fix the exhaust and trans leaks

. 

Egr valve possbly jamming open, the mrs runyx one was shit. block it off/ give it a clean and see how it goes

the mrs and I are planning on going

Transfluid is good for lubing the tires for a burnout? we sould do a ford vs chev burnout....

Can anyone recommend a place to get the carb tuned? I have set idle mixture and timing, Its running heaps better but still smells rich and hesitates/ uses way too much fuel

May be late or a no show at this point

Looks heaps better on the current wheels, just get a drum of atf and feed it into the dipstick tube haha

Booked my tickets

I'll be there in my leaking tank too

Just need to win lotto 

I'm knee

My mums car was hit my a older grey/faded blue (witness suspects old starlet) car on saturday around 2-3pm on the corner heading west just past tawini rd..They didn't stop and check just gapped it, so if anyone has seen a older car with a smashed up front and blue stripes I'd appreciate a heads up. Witness and mum didn't get license plates so we havent got much to go off

I need to pop over and check it out. Old school drags 2015, how many liters of dex3 can we use to go down the quarter mile in 18 seconds

has to be a pushrod v8 or a dirty diesel

So i'll come full of dirt, dust and leaves like my truck then haha

I got some sheets from eds autos in mt roskill, it was about 40 for 4 sheets, I've put th trough the back of the shuttle and the firewall and it has made a noticible difference with the exhaust noise in cabin and I no longer get hot feet on long drives. I think it is worth putting it in

x2 do it! or just use the american plates, They won't be able to see them through the tire smoke anyway

sweet, was hoping to fin a reasonibaly priced new unit but will hunt the tard

The lesson of the day is original paperwork. The ORIGINAL bill of sale is all thats holding me back from legal motoring. It should be in the mail in the next few days. Its been a learning curve but we are nearly there

Got it back! Will try get pictures tomorrow when I do the mounts

Just wax/clear coat it and roll as is!
