Slowly ticking away at this, between life and melbournes crappy weather I haven't had much of a chance to work on this lately. But slowly getting there and am very close to rego time now. All the ball joints, bushes and shocks have all been done now. A PWR trans cooler has been installed with a drain plug also added to the pan of the C6 to avoid a big mess when it next needs a service. I haven't got any photos, but everyone knows what a drain plug and a trans cooler looks like anyway.
I have also replaced the headlight globes with a set of Phillips Extreme Vision +130 bulbs. Though on removal of the old bulbs found the 100w H4's had been used which had melted both connectors so had to be replaced too. Not a big deal but just another thing to do.
Designed this shifter pin and got a mate to make it on the lathe out of stainless. This previously was a screw and now has significantly less slop.
Standard airbox is back in too, the PCV breather I had to get creative with though as I couldn't find any for sale locally. So removed the old element from the housing and cut down a briggs and stratton air filter and seems to have worked alright too.
Also tidied up the relay situation in the engine bay too, as seen below 2 relays were mounted where the airbox needed to go. These relays didn't actually power anything so were just removed, but I did have space for them hence the extra relay holders. It's not perfect but it's a lot better than it was before. There is still one original relay mounted by itself, I have no idea what it powers, a circuit diagram for it and also was not able to remove its connectors without fear of breaking it, so it was just attached securely rather than just floating in the engine bay.

After
I went to start wiring up the trailer plug today, as there was a loom which appears to just have had the plug cut off it. But after trying all the wires with the test light, nothing is getting any power, so will most likely have to remove this bit of loom and re do the take-offs from the main loom.
