looking more like a street car every day Dave!

[Shtstr]

yer sure is. will have the front screen in tomorrow arvo so will put up pic's of that too.

[Shtstr]

Got the front screen in today. Couldn't use the orignal rubber as the cage is to close to the lip. had to use a universal rubber, dam it. Had to put it in like a late model one and black out arround the edge the same as a late model one too. it dosen't look that bad, but will have to put a chrome pin strip on it to get it looking the same as a standard one.wont be able to put photo's up till Monday.pluss i can't touch it till Monday as the screen is held in place with tape to stop it from moveing and let the sealer to set.Might pull the brake line out in the morning and get a new one made as it must have a split in the end as it has a very small leak.

Bought a new wiper motor off evil bay so it should arrive next week aswell.

My spray painter is away for the next week and a half so will have to wait to get the rear 1/4 glass frames painted.

Now you can only just see the cage inside the car as everything apart from the seat incerts are black so it blends in.

Also if yo look hard enough you will see around the outside of the screen we blacked it out to hide the cage a bit more from the front.

nice work dave, looking good. i would have blacked out the intercooler aswell for the stealth factor

also is there a differance from side to side

[Shtstr]

I got mine from aussie mucle cars in brisbane. I spoke to them on the phone and he measured a lc gtr their and it was exactly the same as mine. 678-80 from where they screw on at the front to the leading edge of the gutter. They too over laped by about the same amount. I might look at makeing a set out of the ones off a 4 door as i have some here and they have the correct radious and line up wth the gutter propley.

Hey thought i might let you all know i get my grill and head light surrounds back today, All going well i might get them painted on the week end. and add some photo's next week of them fitted yea

[Shtstr]

here's some pics of the grill for all to see, He did a fantastic job

in the car

from the front

have to take it back out and paint it gold in the centre now. not going to do the black as the chrome looks too good to paint over.

the left side, Still need to sand and buff the car as we haven't done it yet so it will look like a mirror when we do as it looks good now

grill looks good dave, are you going to re do the black parts on the outer headlight surround? i still reckon the intercooler would look better black, you will still be able to see it but it wont stand out as much. just my opinion though

[Shtstr]

Hi stinga. Nah man going to leave the grill all chrome and just paint the gold in the centre from side to side at this stage.
Painted the rear qrt windows yesterday arvo, they came up realy good.
The kick pannels arrived and fit perfectly. Just the front door cards to do in the interia now and a bit of a tidy up.
Been haveing problems with to much fuel presure, Going to move the return line from the engine from the surge tank to the fuel tank as i think its over presuriseing the surge tank and over running the injectors and flooding the engine.
