Camel

I could send the tent up to the Sydney branch of my work but it would mean detouring to pick it up Spencer?

what camp are we in this year?

I'll be stewing like fuck if I dont.

but then I might get the car done for powercruise if I dont goto bathurst

Bathurst is the only logical option here.

Just make a mannequin version of Tomstament and put him in your office with phone taped to head and a cassette recording of you getting shit done on the phone so everyone thinks your still at work.

I am exceptionally happy for you Ogre. Amazing what a bit of drunken boardroom pressure followed up by a PInk Floyd singalong will do.

 

You must be literally dripping with excitement thinking about how much room you will have over the LA/LB.

Awesome!!!

Flipside to increased room though is decreased garage space...

Will definitely have to hook that fire hose up to the block again, sweet 289 water feature!!

Was thinking about just running no valve covers for easy access 

Car is pulled to bits and up on axle stands so am looking on track for Bathurst 

Looking good bro, you guna attempt that roof liner solo or got someone to give you a hand?

Keep up the good work, will be good to see this beast again at bathurst, please roll racks with haybail and drum on roof

So two of my mates are pretty much definite, which makes 6 in the Buick, should be sweet.

Whos that bro?

It's not a roadtrip if you havn't pulled the car apart first

Yep havn't bought Bathurst tickets yet but have sorted leave for this.

Just me and Alice at this stage from Melbourne

Better pull finger on the wagon and get it ready/pull it to bits

Not doing unboosted four wheel drums this time round haha

This thing is meke as Fels.

Import flare kit would be awesome but will not improve handling/RPMs

more slam and lock then more track days gets my vote

if it is rear brakes it could be that the proportioning valve is not working

Such a handsome young man you are!!!

Love pic updates with you in them

Also glad to see you dropping unnecessary components like extra cams and phuel injection for cubes and pushrods!!!

Good work bro. Your street cred will go through the roof post engine conversion

Got a mate that runs ICE on his burn out ute. He gives that thing nothing but utter death (blown 454) and he swears by the ICE gear

Worst turns to worst - we can go back to the campsite and have sudden death rounds of red or black between the hourly updates..

"worst" and "sudden death rounds of red or black" in the same sentence does not compute??!

Yep me and Alice will be roadtripping from Melbourne for this.

My shitty ford should be a bit more reliable this time haha

If you unplug the valve body loom and go for a drive you should be able to start in L and manually shift up through the gears as this is using the hydraulic side as opposed to the electronic side of the valve body. If it is still won't shift manually into second with the valve body unplugged then you have an internal issue as opposed to an electronic/sensor issue

It sounds like it could possibly be a faulty speed sensor but that would bring up the OD light fault flash for sure.

Have you disconnected the solenoid plug on the box and performed a manual shift test?

This would be the next step for sure to confirm the valve body is working accordingly

and by flathead you mean supercharged flathead ay

bro that sux. You can have mine?!

460 oclock?

I know Manus keen

Yea will be able to sort all that in one hit at Kmart or the like. That shit can definitely be sorted last minute, complete wagons with rego are higher on the communal list I think

sad face that my brotherfromanothermother can't make it but sometimes life gets in the way of happy fun times. Don't worry bro I will come see you next time im back and there will be a solid cock punch involved

This is getting really close and still lots to do on the wagons but there is not turning back now it is what we do. Someone grab that free ticket and come join us on the premier dingo event on the QLD wagooner chapters calender for 2012

suuuuuuuuper late response but yes to bulk 460 purchase, shows how often I frequent the forum haha

What size are those rims and tyres bro??????
