Well portable non studio cameras yes ....... but I prefer to claim I am a little old to remember 100%.

 

I do know however that I avoid photos and I avoid mirrors - I get scarred easily.   LOL

M,mmmm, taking some pics, better get out the Box Brownie and yes, they can be tricky  :wtf:

 

Depends on how you cup your hand around the view finder  :mellow:

 

Sad to say but that was my first camera back in mmmmm, what was that question again.

Color has no meaning Jeff, is short and quick, where as Colour has an expression of love where we see distinctive differences's

currently doing an l98 conversion just wondering if you had to do any starter motor modifications to fit the extractors through, I noticed your sway bar was also modified and relocated why was this the case?

what you've done looks great

Sorry I had never answered this...I must have missed seeing it when you posted it, if you are still around.. I did not touch the original starter, I just built the headers around it. 

 

As for the sway bar..I had to lower the Kmac adjustable front mount bar slightly to clear the lower of the 2 radiator fans I use and a little extra clearance around the lower radiator hose from memory.  I never had bothered to try and fit the original front sway bar on, nor worried about it when building the headers and exhaust as I figured I would run a front mount bar anyways. 

 

Oh, and the kmac quality was crap by the way..

The original 4 piston calipers I had for the car are sitting on the shelf in the garage (in my caliper pile, lol)

 

I used the same caliper bracket with the 8 piston ones as they use the same mounting position as the 4 piston ones..

Project LX asked to see the floor mods for the T56 I did, so thought I would post the pic up here..this was in progress sort of shot, I eventually shortened the console mount as well (I raised the floor as much as I could and still figure a way to make the console fit)

Thanks for sticking this up, I hope to do an LS T56 swap soon and actually have your thread saved in favourites for reference. I was thinking about the trans tunnel mods the other day and wondered if it needed cutting right up to the firewall, looks easy enough to do.

Wasn't too bad.  It is a bit tight to the trans, but there is clearance and everything fits and no rubbing.

I see this has ended up back in Oz, up for auction in fact.

Based on current hatch sell values I can understand why Jeff sent it back

Be a great car to pickup and tidy up

 

Hope Jeffs doing OK
