So small update.
I just bought a full set of nolathane bushes for the VN, as well as a set of nolathane adjustable strut tops.
Earlier I also bought a turbo blanket, 30mtr's of exhaust heat-wrap, and an inline billet fuel filter.
The missus has decided that she is going to kill me, which is nice.
I already have at home 6mtrs of 2.5" mild-steel exhaust tubing, & 6mtrs of 3" exhaust tubing.
I will be using the 3" stuff for the entire exhaust. So it'll be 3" from the turbo back, and I will finish it just prior to the diff with the stainless turbo muffler I bought the other day.
I have also bought some ARP torque converter, & ARP flexplate bolts for the motor (when I find one!). As I've had a torque converter 'fall-off' twice now on me.
Spending will start to slow down now, as the missus really is on a rampage!
But that doesn't mean progress will cease. I still have to rub it all back, patch a couple of little dings, weld up/ cut-off the bits I no longer need, and get it painted.
Hopefully the funds will allow me to cage it, before it gets painted.
I'm going to try to get my ute back on the road on the weekend, went and grabbed a whole new diff for it the other day. So i'll swap that in, rebuild the inlet manifold, throw in the 42lb injectors & the Walbro fuel pump, finish fitting the shiftkit, and hopefully get my mate to come around and weld-up the exhaust for me.
Eventually I will get the supercharger mounted, but first I will need a custom tuned J3 chip for the computer.
I think I might even pull down the VN's diff on the weekend if I get time. I will fit the 3.73 diff gears and minispool, put new oil in it, and give everything a clean and a lick of paint.
