    OTHER INFO:

    Ok well Ive had this car close to 18 months now, was originaly Brought to build as a burnout car which is what I've done, Everything has been down mechanically to the car except the motor itself,

    Its got a Rebuilt Trans with Manual Valve body and a B&M Pro ratchet In it, Can not be driven like an auto have to change gears, It cherps 2nd and 3rd and kicks each time, Cost Just over $2000 REALLY BIG TRANS COOLER

    To go with the trans The extractors had to be custom done slightly bent to go either side of the trans, going into twin 2 1/2 " system that goes down and has a cross over benieth the Tailshaft With a resignator on each pipe Dumped just before the rear wheels.. Pacemaker extractors, and the Exhaust was Done at EXHAUST TECHNOLOGY On goodwood road Wheel Known place. Cost $1200

    The diff has been rebuilt too New Bearings axles and a spool has been fitted along with 4,11 Diff gears, Done at BOSS DIFFERENTIALS cost over $1000

    Has all New bushes and such in the rear of the car Rubber not nolathane, Has new shocks in the rear, as well all Costing $450 or so

    Has Auto Meter guages... Water Temp and Oil pressure Mounted where the CD Player goes, And a 5" Tacho Mounted on the dash by the door frame, $650 worth

    new battery a very good one, 580 amps i think

    Has a B&M Line locker setup Fitted with a LED switch just under the steering wheel $160

    Has a 3 Core PWR alloy radiator, Cost $1050

    New water pump too, New Power steering belt

    Has a home made Air intake which actually works pretty well

    all the Air conditioner setup has been Taken out, a Gas system was taken of the car as well,

    Now has Polished engine covers not seen in pics
    Engine bay could do with a respray when the motor gets taken out to rebuild as someone before me spilt some form of fluid on one side and it looks a bit ordinary ive started wet sanding it off and it comes but its taking a bit of paint with it,

    Theres going to be lots i have missed, Mechanically the car is built really well Its been out twice on the pad since i have had it in that time, Both i was still learning to drive the car and getting use to it once the line lockers are on properly and going slow with a stock 5 litre it does ok Nothing that special,

    But with the top end rebuilt which isn't that expensive with some mild work done to it, it would do really good.

    I'm just seeing what people would pay for it because im thinking of selling it and buying an Older holden that can be driven On the weekends all the time, Sucks seeing it and not being able to drive it, Especially since I couldn't register it to drive it on the weekend

    Currently have a Price on the car, Cost more in parts + what the car owes me is over 12 grand easy

    Make an offer open for anything, Not interested in swaps, Got a Valiant eyed up :P

    PICTURES: Here are some pictures of how its come along and what it is now,















    Trans cooler
