Hey there,

Future mods:
Finish the engine
5spd Gearbox
Repainted (got the paint waiting for partners father to do it!)
new pimped rims..
general clean up.

As i literally only had the car on the road for about 3 weeks i dont really have any photos of the car itself.
So have a photo or 2 of the engine apart..
The Story behind this car is, i brought it off an old family friend, Dodgy ####, Well he put another engine in it as the old one (v8) was ####ed..
when he put the current engine in it, it was from a kingswood so he put the appropriate sump on to suit the vc, When replacing the oil pickup pipe thing he didnt do it up tight which then caused the engine to suck some air and heat up a bit, luckily i caught right onto it and #### all damage was done, in the end i could have just put it all back together and kept driving it.. but i figured whilst i had the engine out i would redo the bottom end.
One thing happened that i never heard of was the Bolts for the mains bearings cap snapped off not even under half the amount of torque said to
tighten too, so i got myself some new bolts from Og speed shop in adelaide..
i now have the bottom end together, and im putting new gaskets in for oil pump chrome side plates and ****.. due to #### all time i havent got it done, but hopefully in the upcoming week i should have it done..
more photos to come once i get it on the road and **** :)
