few pics of yesterdays progress.

Put in vs lower radiator support so i could use the vs radiator, moved battery tray to drivers side. few rust repairs and holes to fill and run the wiring to make necessary holes then it will be time to smooth and paint.

Ooohh, nice work!
Makes me want to get this VH back together and in one peice! Like the looks of a V6 in the early gurl!

Good idea with the radiator support, I wanted to do that for my project, but ended up scraping the shell and forgot to cut it out :/ lol

i am lucky we cut the lower support out for my mates vt wagon as we didn't realize that our plans for the lower mounts wasn't going to work. most of the fabrication was completed today but still have a few holes to fill before it gets smoothed and painted. dummied up the extractors, air box and removed the salsbury diff and fuel lines and brake booster. tomorrow should have the floor painted, disc brake borgwarner diff in place and fuel lines ran vs tank fitted tranny crossmember fabed and rest of the holes filled.

Ooooh looks nice

One picture simply cannot show just how much work has gone into it, to get it to look like that... lol,
Bet there was a few hours hand sanding in all those curves,

Ya never know, seeing this get built might get me keen??

got that right but i admittedly cut corners because in the next 12 months the whole thing is changing color but i just couldnt leave it as it was.

engine is back in today along with alot of other thing but no pics as i forgot my camera and the car is being done at a mates place.

few more piccies. diff nearly in,vs tank in and nice fitting air box and snorkle.

It continues to amaze us as how well everything fits nearly everything in the bay is vs even the factory vs exhaust fits nice once shortened in the middle a few inches.

IT RUNS!!! now just to finish things off. My mate (and mechanic) still has a few wiring finishing touches and the rest is just about bolt up and away we go.

Taken a bit longer than expected due to a few changes but should be on the road again next week. Got a vl 28 spline lsd in it now aswell as 2.5" cat back system but still no dash back from Castle auto, better be here tomorrow

 

[180sc]

well pretty much done now but the dash has to be sent back as it has some faults so that gunna set me back for another 2-3 weeks
