The beast looks a lot better than when I saw it

[lowvh6]

yeah mate done a fair bit since you seen it interior is in and a little bit of body work has been done this is prob how you remember seeing it and a pic of one of the sl/e door trims i got off ebay for $50

[Goon]

Nice run on the clock mate, mines 247

Lose the exhaust head and replace with extractors mate, you WILL notice the difference.

It may even get rid of possibly smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe ...

Go wreckers if u want the cheap parts. see if u can walk around the yard

ps. i like ur sig saying

[VRSS]

did the SL/E door trims come with arm rests too?
looks like she will be nice once you finish her.

[juzo]

Great project.
Are you going to leave the 202 in her or chuck in something bigger?

[lowvh6]

thanx guys
goon i have extractors sitting in the shed just have to fit them and get my new exhaust system 2 1/4in i reckon and the sig saying i think it came from your web site not sure if it did hope you dont mind me borrowing it liked the way it sounds lol

vk_308 nah im looking for a pair of front arm rests atm want dark blue so i dont have to vinyl paint them i reckon $50 was a good price for them though

juzsvy im leaving the 202 in her til i get off my P's then going to look into a injected 5 litre

[brohawk]

nice job man looks good will be a good project definatly

[lowvh6]

thanx brohawk yeah its a slow process on a very limited budget but it will get there im looking at painting it in a month or so

[juzo]

Yep, that's the way i'd go too, you could muck around with 253's or 283 chevs but if your gonna spend the money then go the injected 5, alot more potential.

[lowvh6]

yeah thats why i chose the inj 5 litre there are a lot of aftermarket parts available and there is alot of threads on here and other sides about how to do it but it will have to wait til i get off my P's cause of the new laws about p platers not aloud to drive v8's but that doesnt worry me gives me more time to save for the conversion

[Goon]

Hey if u ever take out your 202, let us know if your selling the parts

I like your mags, just noticed on the 4th pic on how beefey the look

As for that sig thing mate, i have the same sticker on my car

Done any work on the gearbox yet? maybe a service? its easy takes about an hour if done right and 4 car stands and the kit for under 20 dollars.
