  1. Got a couple things to fix after the run. Namely some minor panel beating consisting of raising the tunnel a smidge... also left a cylinder behind in Glenorchy - (don't worry it's in the mail!)
  2. Then went on a car run with my local club: Won publicans choice! Drank lots of beers...
  3. Finally got this old slut back on the road! Will go back and fix the previous images at some stage!
  4. Coming together nicely... Need to start on the engine bay.
  5. Read that on facey - fuck yeah, shame the head gasket blew - wonder what it would have ended up as.
  6. Yeah I've heard that but haven't experienced it myself except my brothers old VJ had a huge flat spot we couldn't quite get rid of.
  7. @RUNAMUCK yeah got set of pacemakers. I googled the early/late slant thingy and came up with two lots of frost plug sets 3 for early and 5 for later but it didn't mention what year they changed over.
  8. How do you tell if it's a late block? Yeah the Single Barrel Air Cleaner won't fit, well won't fit under the bonnet... could cut hole for much speed. Bit of work fitting the 2bbl: Different manifold, accel cable/kickdown bracketry and convert kickdown to cable. Will do the other things on the list first.
  9. @grunta being the GC he is kindly sent me his old Carter 2 BBL!! So will look at rebuilding that and slapping it on at some stage in the near future. Was this your handy work mate... hahahaha!!
  10. OK so looking to go for an original look i.e. this...
  11. Only the outside!! Had to take it out to repair some shit around the steering box on the chassis. Repainting engine, while I'm there. Just deciding whether or not to paint engine bay as I'm thinking when I come to repaint the whole thing I'm going strip it right back so probably no point doing it now.
  12. Now onto some quick repairs and quick flick of paint... maybe.. if I can be fucked.
  13. Valiant's been sitting in the Garage doing nothing for the last 5 months so thought I'd better do something with it!
  14. I thought about doing that, but there's quite a bit to drill out - 5-6mm. But it's commonly done with out any probs.
  15. Yeah man, $95Aus Fitted straight in, if you had the skills though it'd be easy to make. https://www.pentastarparts.com.au/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=5159
