Well took the car for a drive this arvo to put some good juice in it and was amazied at how many people gave me the thumbs up and even stoped to see me drive past them and race back up beside me and beep and wave to say they liked the car.
Was also amased that 60 lt of fuel only gave me just over half a tank too.

Thanks for the comments.
Was looking under the car last knight checking how things where and noticed that the aftermarket new ball joints (top) bolts had come louse and out of the 8 bolts in total had lost 2 nuts and spring washers.???
Has anyone else had this problem???
Also the 2 rubbers that go between the chassie rail and the x'member had destroyed them self.???
I retighterned the bolts and replaced the rubbers so i could take the car down today for a wheel alinement.
Will be watching them closely as i don't want any miss haps.

[Shtstr]

yer that was next or lock tight.
Took the car out last night and all when well except for blowing 2 fueses.
Have put up a detail about it in electrical if anyone can explain why.

Awesome Dave, f@#k knows how you got in the back to do the stereo.. through the quarter windows? or squeeze through the cage?

[Shtstr]

mate i had to do it throught the windows as i'm not that small at 5'9" and 110kg's. so the whole lot was put together outside the car and then put it in the car.

[Shtstr]

Well i was going to take the old girl up to the rocklea car show on Saturday but with the way the weather is i would say it wont be there even if it's still on at the moment.

[Shtstr]

Well thought i would update what the car ended up with after i started with a plan of attack and had a few miss haps along the way but you get that with all builds.

So it's all done and dusted with mod plates and rego

TIME FOR CRUZIN

Thanks all and hope you have enjoyed the read and photos of the build.

Nice build Dave. You should proud. Hopefully now you can actually drive it and enjoy all of your hard work.

I'm turbo charging my LC and I'm really interested in your intercooler setup. I have a few questions for you.

• What size is the intercooler core?
• What size is the cooler including the tanks?
• How did you mount it?
• Did you need to modify the bonnet catch or the upright support under the bonnet catch plate?

Cheers,

Brett.
