Thanks herne, still a lot of work to be done with the dash but it should come up ok, That video is straight out the extractors, sounded good though when the exhaust was done, but it just looked terrible lol, and was even more dissapointed at what i found once I cut the restrictor pipe, ahhh H-Pipe out. All good though now.

Notice bits of grey paint still on the exhaust where all the joins were sprayed.

Wow this car has come such along way in a relative short period of time.

Love the work and can't wait to see paint and trim.

Cheers Mick.

OK OK OK, for all you impatient buggers out there, here ya's go. Thanks for all the comments guys.

Car is at a fellow forum members place current having the body work done and getting ready for some colour whoohoo. Progress has been pretty slow for the last couple of months where it was sandblasted and bodywork started, also a lot of fiddling around in the engine bay trying to get it to a stage where we were happy with it, but its now in putty and just needs to be rubbed back and then primed. Brads done a great job with the rest of the shell and its getting closer and closer to getting hit with some colour.

























sorry about the crappy phone photos, not real good but ya get the idea

Coming along beautifully mate! Once some colour gets laid down there are going to be some excited people

This thing will be awesome to cruise in, good luck with the rest of the build.

Thanks brett, ya not wrong there mate, I'll get a bit of motivation back I reckon. That engine bay was starting to get to me lol, fiddly prick of a job. Will hopefully see a bit of colour in the engine bay on sunday all going well.

lxss5l - Didn't have to do any mods to fit the hopper stoppers 330mm brake kit, apart from run 17" wheels. BUT, dont do what i've done and get 17" soft lip rims, as they are pretty much a 16" rim and do not fit, lol more dramas. The dash wasn't too bad, but it's no where near finished, will post up more pics when i start to fit it in there properly.

SS Hatchback - Have seen this EH and its absolutely unreal, if mine turns out anywhere near as well as his did i'll be happy. Going to do mine all black thought instead of the cream/brown.

Finally some colour whohooo

[mrlctorana]

Thank yeh definately will, going to bring it home next week to start fitting motor, box, diff and few other bits n pieces before the outside of the car get's done. Can't wait to see the engine sitting in there, was pretty happy with how the engine bay turned out in the end.
