slow and steady wins the race they say... the build is still happening hahah got some bits together and made the new exhaust upto the diff(twin 2.5" into twin hooker aero chambers with a "H" pipe to give it an old school sound). will leave it dumped there for now. extractors modified and o2...

got a little bit done lately.. dynamat is all done on the floor and i have cut and installed the rear underlay and carpet.. front section is almost done aswell i just had to finish off the aircon wiring in the passengers footwell which is done now thanks to a auto sparky mate... would die up...

hey mate im running the stock 808 with a delco hacking NVRAM board with hispeed coms port. havent played with it too much yet but it looks like everything is working. its crazy how tunable and the features the old 808 has. with this setup i can tune on the fly(if i knew what i was doing). left...

ITS ALLLLIVE..... somehow missed a small vac barb at the back of the manifold that normally goes to the heater valve. plugged it and it fired right up and purred like a kitten and revved very nice. getting all the gear together so i can data log and eventually real time tune my self if i can get...

not much happening lately all my spare coin is going into the house but i have got a bulk pack of dynamat to do the floor pan before the new carpet goes in. will probably need another bulk pack to do the doors, parcel shelf and boot. so now i got to start pulling up the old sticky sound deadner...

go a top mount charger... then ya dont have to worrie about manifold :)

get a wheel alignment .... cheap and effective if it isnt the alignment it will be a stuffed bush somewhere my guess would be LCA ball joint or inner bush

car is ready to be picked up next week :) keen to get it home again. even keener to park it at its new home just bought a house with a stomper shed.... even has a lined glass front room in it with split system air con should come in handy in a couple of months time when its back at 50deg...

^^^^ looks killa..... cant wait to charge mine

when are ya testing it again.... should do it soon while its still cool... not that it would be really cool on the gold coast anyway

yeah mate only a small town think about 4000 people .. 255km to the next major town and 600km to adelaide.

2 weeks off work after tonight cant wait going up north shooting pigs and mustering goats then cruise back home through camerons corner.... the old girl is just gonna have to wait under the cover till i get back (SLEs are no good off road anyway)

baileys channel only rocked up on my last day off but managed to get them all installed and also got all the glass back in.... polished a lot of the finer scratches out but there are still some deep ones left from the outer belt rubbers going rock hard.. ill see how they look with tint on them...

hey it looks like i have left the same chrome off as you.... looks much neater with just 1 strip of chrome around both windows.... only thing im going to do more on mine is black the top section of chrome on the rear quarter vent.

3.5yrs is out of control!!! i thought of sinking 10 to 13k into the paintjob but then i thought i would be too scared to drive it.. i wanna be able to drive this everyday and not have to stress when i park it in car parks ect (like those wankers that take 2 spots just because they have a GT or...

will grab some this week... cant find my camera so my phone will have to do. whens the next race day mate?

12 more hours of work and then the real work can start. hopefully the Baileys channel has rocked up and ill put that in the polish up the windows and install them. also ordered a few badges and rubbers ect. the relectors in my original headlights are shagged but the rest of the body is...

its amazing what a good exhaust can achieve

gotta be happy with that.... should be low 11s with a few more passes.... and maybe ditch the trim haha

pretty much all the chrome is back on the exterior. havent put the chrome on that runs around each window as i have blacked out the center piller and tops of the doors so there is only chrome on the door belts and then around the drip rail. should look good with dark tinted windows so itll be...

it works a treat on hot beers :)

just had a brain wave ... CO2 fire extinguisher may freeze it enough

hey mate how wide of tyre have you had on the old girl.... have you rolled your guards?? keen to see what i can fit on the rear of mine

they reckon dry ice is the easiest way of getting the old stuff off.... hmmm where do i find ice in the desert gaps werent too bad at all there was 1 dodgy door but that came good when i put new hinge pins in it.

thanks mate.... cost wise i think mine was around the $6000 mark for the short motor and recon stock heads... scat crank and rods with hypertec pistons... if you go billet pistons and rods the price can skyrocket pretty quickly

all the jams and insides of the doors, boot and bonnet have been painted. doors have been put back on as well as boot and bonnet. final rub down was happening when i left for work so hopefully the outside will be painted tomorrow :) too excited im keen to lay down a heap of dynamat on the...

i am so jelous of that system.......

heard back from scotts today they arent keen on trying to replicate one and send it to me ... oh well get some more pics up if the setup so i can show who ever does mine that you dont have to merge to single over the diff

good tip ill look into them.

will look into it... the bailey channels are only $35 each i think from rare spares so not to bad... door rubbers and windscreen rubbers are the killers

ill have to get some pics havent taken any for a while.... its in it first coat of primer now hahahah i never thought it would be 1 colour again... cant wait for colour been thinking instead of a standard light shade of silver for the bottom ill darken it a fair bit .... should look good with...

yeah fair enough... ill probably just dodgy something up to drive to adelaide to get one made... sucks living in the middle of nowhere good to know that ill be able to fit a twin system all the way to the back i thought it would have to merge into a single over the diff.

they do complete kits for around $1100 but ive been grabbing bits and pieces over the last year.... with new baileys channels and door rubbers plus extra bits and pieces im up for $700 this time. door seals are $90 each :/

body work all completed will be in primer over the next few days :) need to do a big order with rarespares for rubbers, clips, badges ect... this isnt going to be cheap

what setup exhaust did you go. twin 2.5" to single 3" over diff???? i see scotts rods made it was it custom or off the shelf.. im in need of an exhaust soon and i know scotts rods make quality gear . if it was custom what is the chance of dropping it back off to them to copy and make a set...

i just got one shortened and balanced ... couldnt be bothered trying to find a match (live too far away from wreckers ect). think it was about the $200 mark with new bearings and unis

all chrome and interior is stripped and is about to go to the paint shop ... got a price i couldnnt refuse only catch is i have to help with the body work on my days off which is what i wanted anyway as im keen to learn how to prep and paint properly. was undecided on colour as i was thinking of...
