[HamaTime™]

Mine sits lower on the left as well. Not sure why, I've checked all the mounts and screws and can't figure out why?

[Omerta]

Cluster looks awesome mate, love the look of it during the day

[dobesz]

Cheers yea it came out a lot better than I thought. Looks like it's standard.
Yea no idea why it sits low on the left. Not to bad but want to fix it as annoys me lol

[revhead1988]

definitely will be a tough ute with the walky manifold just hanging out the bonnet... nice work

[Trayner]

Looking good man , came up a treat

[tim005]

Looks good mate. I really like the look of it during the day, looks hella lot like a VY dash.
I'll come past sometime this week and have a look in person braaaaaaaaah.

[dobesz]

Ha ha no worries mate!!! Thanks for the likes as was worried it may look to over the top/gay

[dobesz]

New pics!

[Jecs]

do yourself a favour, pull that water pump off. CSR or CVR Elec water pump, thank me later.

[dobesz]

Ha ha true mate but that's a lot of coin lol. Maybe a bit over board for a daily. But yea would be nice

[ephect]

Looking sweet, bet u can't wait to start her up.

How long til u drop her in?

[dobesz]

Still a bit as need diff rebuild and gears, run engine in on engine dyno, and get more parts like fuel pump, braided lines etc etc
Plus not much spare time to play with it

[benhixon]

This

To this


Getting the silver highlights on the raised sections was a real prick lol

Also dropped injector rails off at pro flow to have mounts welded on to starch rails to manifold! Tried talking me into billet rails but couldn't be arsed lol
Also fitted speed flow fittings and braided line to connect fuel rails together.
Got myself a new iac sensor and a iac boss mounting block from efi hardware

Airbox looks pretty good dobesz, came up pretty schmicko

[Drawnnite]

top notch job on the airbox.

should be good once everything is in the car.
should be liike a rocket. preparing for takeoff at every set of lights

[tim005]

Looking good yaaaaaa faaaaaag.
But seriously, can I have your stocko 5 litre for my uterus?

[dobesz]

Lol tim hopes and dreams, yea if it goes as good as it looks it shouldn't be to bad!

Airbox came up a treat...nice one.

[social]

fan of the build and exterior, but cant get over the dash and waterpump, electric pump is definitly a winner, and the stock hsv dash is the shiz, everyone to their own tho, otherwise nice work. Wouldnt have a complete bonnet cut for the manifold tho, thinking of rain..

[dobesz]

Maybe but it's a daily driver and thought Elec water pump prob a bit over the top plus easy to do it once finished. Plus do all my gilmer drive at same time.
Not a fan of standard HSV dash as it's green lights make it look so dated! Trying to make it a little less old school and simple in side
Plus HSV gear in standard commies kinda like slapping chev badges on commies.
Different strokes for different blokes

Had a boys day today with a few mates, vr ss 450hp 5L and a Vs clubby 383 monster. Had a good look over caves five o. Got some nice vids of the cars.
But more importantly got my catch can, custom made with dash 10 fittings and baffle. bolts to strut tower and also has bracket for coil
