Amazingly the booster and pedal box fit straight up with bugger all cutting

Hahahahhaa this was a FAIL. looked like crap so it won't be in

Kids got me this for Father's Day. Nice touch I think

I have a set of custom extractors for V6 ecotec but for FC body

Custom engine mounts go on too

Here are the mounts knocked up.

And trial fitted them

Had to carve out the chassis rail to fit the engine mounts

Cut away most of the front to fit the V8 radiator too

With the seats I ripped out I mounted them up to 2 PS3's and TV's with GT5!!!

Also knocked up the gearbox mounts for the 4L60E

New larger gearbox tunnel left my carpet a little short on width...

Engineer wanted bomb proof 8mm thick steering mounts

Here it is all knocked up and sturdy as

Dam near 20kg of wires I took from the car from headlight bulb to taillight bulb.
So many people told me I was crazy for doing a complete harness transplant. But hey I get a 55 year old car with remote central locking with cruise and aircon etc

Hey Ari666, yeah its a miserable day here so I finally got round to it. Although it does look like I am smashing my way though...ANYWAY,


V6 WTF WAS I THINKING?????

The THIRD donor car arrived and by shear luck I bought this for peanuts. Very low k's and the sunroof has rusted and stuffed it.

SO NOW ITS GOING TO BE A 5L V8!!!
