Sploink.....

Started doin some of the fusebox relocating after finally deciding I was gonna put it all under the steering wheel took the original mini fuse and relay board bracket out:

Cut it all up and retacked it so the board sat as high as possible to give room for the other fusebox:

This is what it ended up lookin like once mounted:

And this is with other spare one I had from another VT so that I can solder all the orignal wires to one by one:

Making sure theres enough room with the cover on:

And now the fun begins haha:

Wicked man! I like your idea with the fuse board

Hey guys! So not too much being happening with the build, pretty busy at work and doing house stuff... but started gettin back into it now! I kept a rear cradle out of a VY I was wrecking so gave it a quick clean a respray and currently changing all the bushes while it's out of the car haha





Also cut out the spare wheel well to make room for the fuel cell



Bought a VZ SS aluminium radiator and twin thermo fans, making a shroud for it at the moment.




Started to make up the new headlight & indicator loom which is gonna run up behind the drivers side guard into the can to where I relocated the fusebox



And also scored these pretty cheap do couldn't resist

Nice work.

Have you considered any mods for the rear cradle? Something like the BMR SFC007 designed for the GTO's over in the US

There was a great write up online about one of the US car magazines adding it to one of their cars but i can't for the life of me find it.

Finished making the frame for the cell


Nutserted the frame in ( ppl reckon I need to weld the frame in, but I think 8 x M6 bolts will be more than enough )




Taaadaaa


Now just need to get an ali plate to cover the floor and that'll be done

 

[Claudy]

Jxw that's killer! It would stiffen it right up ay

 

[Claudy]

Painted up the rear arms and fitted the bushes today

Hello,
When doing your vt turbo project you blocked the pvr
valve, where there any problems with this? Did you for example drill
a hole in the oil filler cap to vent any pressure to atmosphere?

 

[Claudy]

Vtgas blocked PCV valve yer and I vented the lower intake manifold barb fitting to a catch can and yer drilled and tapped the filler cap and ran 5/8 line to catch can too
