They have come up a treat. What were you using for your light source Axistr? And what size are the rims on your Clubbie? They fill the guards out nice.

 

Do you know if any of the non SLR digital cameras have the capacity to hold the "shutter" open for prolonged exposure?

[axistr]

Thanks' for the tips Sam, as I said I am only a armature photographer with not much idea. I did do a few outside a few weeks ago but to much moon light on the night. I only have a cheap Sony digital camera and its not an SLR like the car. The camera only has a maximum of 30 seconds shutter opening. The lighting used was a Narver hand held LED mechanics light. Your right to many reflective surfaces in the shed.

 

Grant 20" on the clubby.

Just loved reading this!
May I ask what air con condenser you used?

[axistr]

G'day HDT166, the hatch a/c compressor is a denso originally from a 98-2001 Toyota hilux 4x4 diesel. On the SLR I used a Sanden compressor which I picked up from cool drive. Choose it from their parts book as it had a 6pk belt drive and four bolt up pattern which made it easy to adapt to my original vr commodore compressor mount with the power steering.

Thanks for the info , but I was after what condenser you used, unit in front of the radiator .

Sorry forgot to add that part, brain fade/old age/dementia. Both cars have Denso condensers and internal evaporators units from a Toyota Hilux LN106 model from memory.

What did you do to fit the gearbox, looks like you have not touched the tunnel? Mine sits way higher, did you lower the engine to get that angle?

Hi myss427
Have you got pictures of the floor modifications
That’s you did to fit the T56 Magnum
I’m having trouble with mine
Looks like I need to cut the floor

I do, but on my home computer, I cut the floor out over the top of the rails from the firewall to the floor join seam behind the seats, removed it all. Then source a VL Commodore front floor trimmed it up to suit the same space, had to remove the existing Commodore brackets and chassis, but when welded in it is not noticeable except a huge tunnel. Gearbox angle is 3 degrees, same as depress, before tunnel it was 6!
