Leaves are out and will be off to old mate to  flatten them out. New shocks ready to go in and I guess I best order new bushes for the hell of it now and paint the components.

I purchased 2 rear door chrome trims and now I’m on the hunt for the fronts. 
 

I also painted above and below the indicator black as it was woefully faded

My nice set of 12 slots got a bit of a polish today.

We have rear slammage 

4” reset leaves no 2” blocks anymore. And short Koni struts.

I'm about to list my 4.1L (250ci) 6 cylinder motor for sale in order to make way for my 351c build.

Motor, auto BW 3 speed (slips in reverse), mint exhaust, radiator, alt, coil, dizzy carb - all sold together.

Here is a video taken recently to show it running etc - thought I would share.

It's official - motor, trans, rad and exhaust has been now sold with pick up in Sept. I have put a deposit on a 351c in parts, so bring on the next phase (excuse the distant pun). This set up comes with $5K plus of receipts for parts and engine work and was removed due to a 393 crate motor.

351c block 

2v closed chamber heads with 4v 220m intake valves, upgraded springs etc

Weiand 7516 intake mani port-matched to the heads

ARP bolts

Comp fuel pump

New MSD ignition 

Plus loads of other cool bits as he is having a clear out. I'm hoping to buy his 2 x 9" LSD heads and axles too.

I also just ordered a new lower lip as seen in the last pic on that cool Falcon (not mine)

Did I mention that it's now 4 speed top loader time...well, when I can afford one that is haha.

Bonnet pins XY GT

XY GT GS fog light brackets 

XY GT GS lower spoiler 

I’d more than likely be buying a new XY GT bonnet Rare Spares $1250 rather than slicing up the mint bonnet. 
 

Almost time for the 6cyl to be yoinked

[rivalrx]

I managed to fit the lower spoiler this weekend. 
 

end product

In other news (couldn’t load pic in same thread above…) I snared this NOS Aunger louver that needs a tweak. $255…..

most likely will try and correct it with a heat gun but that likelihood of that working is low and based on past performance, I’d probably F it more. Will take it to a plastic restoration outfit  

 

I still cannot believe the price and the trademe auction closed on a sat night too and that is prime for drunk bidding
