So we got Matty doing all the engine work (I let him tell you what he's doing dont want to ruin it)
And me on the inside, dash out to do the heater core as it **** itself on its last drive (best timing) and re wiring all the gauges and lights, neatening it all up, insulating it all properly and installing plugs.

Okay so i havnt really had time to come on here in a while lol, Been busy working and the like!

I never really uploaded any photos or a running video after the cam!!! So here it all is! pluss a few other random recent shots of the car :) Also big thanks to my mate Jeremie (aussieakito) for doing my heater core and re-wiring my gauges while i worked on the motor!








About 2 week's ago i also put a 2500rpm hi stall converter in with lock up, and a trans service along with a larger trans oiler cooler ready to go on next weekend!
Also ive had a diff out of a GTS sitting here for about 3 month's thats ready to go in anyday now too! It's a factory Hydratrac LSD diff with 3.45's.

Here is a couple more recent shot's with the 13mm yellow wall's and the car clean..






Here is a more recent video of it running about a week ago :)
Will be deleting the rear hotdog and replacing it with a muffler now, It's to loud with the stall converter But does sound pretty awesome for a v6 not to mention how well it does go!

Cheer's mate! Sounds almost something like a cammed 5lt on idle, specially if cold and the tune is set pretty tame, so could make it more lumpy. But driving, It' doesnt sound much like a v6 anymore :)
