Cheers Craig, slowly getting there.

Just been tidying up some wiring and fixing bits and pieces.

Bought some more bits I need to finish her off, hoping to take it for rego real soon.

Looking good Craig, keep at it and you'll be cruise'n in no time. If the pits are a hassle, I've heard it's more convenient to get inspected by a private contractor. Think it's about $100? Marty

No extra holes drilled, although I had to enlarge the choke hole slightly to fit the switch, but that's ok, it is an LJ lower dash and already has holes in it so it will be replaced anyway.

I know it doesn't look that pretty, but I'm all about function over form right now, and my squirties are better than new now :spoton:

Often wondered why Holden used the manual pump on the LC when the bigger Holdens had the electric unit.

Same as the external bonnet release. A mate and I both had batteries stolen at different times.

And the easy access without a key through the quarter windows. There were 2 solutions to that though.

No they weren't. LJ has the manual washer pump same as LC just the LJ knob doesn't have the chrome circle on it.

I need a LOT of stuff mate, including full interior, but the LJ interior isn't too bad.

When you see it in the flesh you'll see a lot of imperfections the pics don't show but I don't care, its the best GTR I've ever had. :spoton:
