Very loose wheel nuts on left front wheel lol luckily diddnt damage anything too bad ,
and yes im trying to come up with a better setup, its the biggest diff that came on these, h190 in theory should be able to hold the power with it being rated to 285 lb. Ft., the engine in stock form is 220 lb.ft.
I dont like the setup though and am improving it

So yeaa i backed it into my fence because akward garage exit, non attention and caved the rear quater corner in, broke a light and munted a bumper side, i was pretty gutted put it back in garage, diddnt take pictures hoping it would fix itself, but the next weekend i had regained some motivation, soo off to aussy spares to get some bits and try to make it nice again...
I put in quite a few hours popping the corner back out, took bumper side off to work on getting the new one ready sprayed some black on it to protect the metal and left it for a while so i could get paint bits ..
There were no lights with no damage so brought the least damaged one, along with 2 i had to make one good light lol
This included digging out plastic panels and using some pp/pe plastic glue (worked great), non hardening sealer to seal it, and made it presentable

Keeping in mind i did not know how to paint with anything other than a rattle can as of a year ago, im pretty happy with the result
Its sealed on front edge and where bolts come through boot with some quality sealer with gaps to let water through, still have to cut and polish lightly but overall the ss wing looks good
Yea and i decided this is gonna be a hdt ss rep ( not group a or group3) its got the basic trim, 5l v8 manual, wing, and with a stripe kit, some ss decals front and back it should be pretty close to what the base ss models were . . Well not exact but thats what i want it to be . .

Throughout the time ive had this car painted ive always stored it inside, the last year ive put it outside a few times, and instantly the wing started to bubble, turns out the sun and rain with bad paint prep on fibreglass took a toll on it, but no other parts of the car, it still looked good, but had some scratches and the bubbles got bigger and bigger.
So i decided to paint it and another part which ill detail later, together

So im back from hibernating, the van hasnt run untill recently, new job as well as a side job , made a goal to get it running and fix a few things before i left my last job with 3 days to go i threw it back together welded some fittings and moved some hoses including routing the fuel vent hose to in front of airflow meter, crankcase ventilation from welded fitting on plenum, out into behind airflow meter as not to introduce unmetred air into system.
Cut exhaust as it was rubbing on a shock, clocked it a bit better and welded some extra rubber hangers on to support it and stop vibration.
And moved the old shell out of the middle of the lawn with some interesting manuevering including 4wd a tow rope and no wheels
Couple late nights but will not have to work as many days now so should have some more time and money for projects!

Made a washer resiviour with a twin water pump setup rather than the weak original vk one shitty pump which only powered one windshield nozzle while the other just dribbles , welded up a custom tank, fitted some pumps and it works 10 times better than factory as well as removing the old washer parts from the engine bay for a cleaner look

I had a set of brakes from the vs ute, slotted drilled rotors and master cylinder etc, had to buy hub adapters to make it work as well as a spacer for the booster, and now works great, the rotors are a bit bigger, calipers finned, rotor no longer house wheel bearings, mate at work skimmed the front rotors to make for a nice brake setup, that can still have small wheels go over I believe.
And got certified, first time around was a fail on speedometer out and a fuel line fastener in one spot, not bad! Fixed those things and all done !

During this I'd gotten a fenix radiator, which was a bit too tall and the hose inlet was in the wrong place so I modified the way it was mounted, just barely fits, and fan shroud.
I made it so the whole unit comes out now (fan, radiator, adjustable fan controller) by just removing the 2 wires, 3 hoses and lifting it out of the custom rubber mounts, no bolts at all, has saved a lot of time...
Also made a cold air box with pod filter inside that's sealed from the engine bay, and a pan, or folded alli plate that seals the front area so air can only go through the radiator

Weld it up and sand it back, it's not too hard
