Thanks guys. Really happy with how it turned out.

Still have the speedo corrector to fit, and fix the dash cluster. Just need to change the voltage reg in that and it's fixed. Also have an A/C leak that needs fixing thinking it might be the compressor that needs changing. I had the UV die put in it when it first got filled so should be easy to find.

That's basically whats next Matt but would love to chuck a whipple on it one day. Then it will be complete. How is your Statesman going? Any more work done to it?

Good to hear mate. Can't wait to see how the stato turns out. So now you have another toy too, I'm sure that will turn out just as neat as the Stato.

It's been a while since I looked at this thread. Not heaps to update.
I'm still playing with the thermo fan switch trying to get one to turn on at the right time.
I think I finally got it but it leaked because there wasn't might for the thread to bite into.
So got a mate to weld a flat piece of alloy so the switch seals properly.
Haven't tried it yet but I hope it works and no more leaks.


Also got some leads made and bought some lead separators to help neaten up the engine bay.
I was going to use the billet alloy covers but didn't like the look of them, they made the engine look too wide.




Other than that it's gathered a nice thick layer of dust on it sitting in the shed.
