Have you been to the wreckers around here? One of them wants $330 for a busted box.

Thanks mate.
Hopefully the turbo turns up today. It's been on it's way to me since the 29th.....
In the mean time here's what the BA did to a driveshaft at it's first run at the drags:
Hopefully the BW78 in the commodore will stand up to a bit more abuse!
I've also bought a set of POID lights (for testing injector/sensor feeds), and a fully sick 5" tacho (as I already have boost, oil temp, oil pressure and water temp gauges).
Starting to get somewhere now.
Also (off-topic) managed to swap the diff in the ute over last night, and got it running again (straight out of the extractors
), mate is coming over tonight to weld up some flanges so we can finish off the exhaust.

Turbo turned up - about damn time.
It's alot of turbo for a T04 body I reckon:
That's a bare seriesII Buick V6 block underneath the turbo & 40mm Wastegate.
4" inlet, 2.5" outlet, & 3" v-band exhaust.
Started doing a bit more work on the body today too.
Pulled the passenger side doors & front guard off, and started to sandblast the undercarriage/inner guards.
I also started to paint strip the engine bay. Friggin works awesome!
Tomorrow I'll finish off sandblasting the passenger side of the car, and finish paint stripping the enginebay.
Once the under carriage/engine bay is all stripped down I'll start with the seam-welding and painting everything with chassis-black.
All things being equal I might have a motor and gearbox turn up during the week - maybe.
