quick update.

not much news. battery went flat cause i left the damn acces lights on, so its sittin on charge atm.


now since i got it back theres a few problems ive gotta fix (which is why i havent driven it yet)
1. Accel Cable gets jammed on throttle body
2. Lost Power Steering
3. Alte sounds Hammered and its brand new


theres more little things, but they are the main things. tonight i pulled off the orginal bracket for the accel cable and worked out dimensions for the new bracket which my brother will make up. the power steering i have no idea why it isnt working. im going to jack it up and see if its been bled properly failin that im going to weight out my options to get a new power steerin pump vs. gettin a non power steering rack. ill keep you update as i go on.

I would keep the power steer. U ever driven a heavy v8 without it? Sucks balls. Throttle jamming open.......as if that is a problem lol.
Think u can get polished power steer pumps as well

u ever driven the after market racks? they arent as light as power steering, but ud be amazed. its still on the cards atm. ye haha last thing i need, throwin loops and cable gets jammed... helllllllo gutter lol.

theres a HPC coasted pump on VN SS forums for like $400. expensive when a new pump is like $120.

also i forgot to mention the bonnet doesnt have a the hinge brackets, so ive found a pair just waitin for them to come down. also thanks to mbro he found me a guy with a new caprice grill forsale, just waitin for him to get back to me now.

trial fitted the custom accel bracket. it fitted up all perfect, brothers added a lil feature to it and now im thinking about getting something engraved on it. thinking 'friends & family' cause friends helped me build it, and my family was always supporting during the build. its on the cards anyways. still needs a few minor alterations but thats latest news.
