man, i am still amazed you can get those sorts of bends. i must have been doing someting really wrong with mine. lookin' mint ;)

Mate... you didn't see the tediousness of it, or hear all the swearing !!! I found that if you start at the centre of the bend, then work your way out an inch or so either side as you go, and working your way outwards, all the small bends make a bigger one without exsessive squishing. Total pain in the arse, takes a lot of DB or Tui to get it done !!!

Haha , you might wanna fix your dangly bits, or your girlfriend will be pissed off at me !!

It is funny how things turn out, I wanted a fire breathing V8 in my race car, but after working out what it would cost, and realising I don't have the budget, I had a change of plans. Playing with these little Buicks has been fun so far, my turbo V6 VL has shown some potential, so I am really looking forwartds to see what I can get out of one, and if I can afford to get a good crank and rods later on, I will up the boost significantly and go after the V8 boys!! .

Sounds like a big task, as the RB mounts won't suit the crossmember in the VR. Maybe you could use the crossmember from a VL, or just make some custom mounts? Gearbox mount should be okay. Bolting it in and doing all the plumbing is easy, it is the wiring side of things that will do your head in if anything like ABS is present, and the factory security relies on the ECU too, but you will need a VL ECU or aftermarket one for the engine.....out of my league i'm afraid, but i'm sure there are people on here that will know

The roll cage is nearly finished, and fits me as per the regs, so next on the list was the harness mounts, which was tonights job.

Won't be long now and I can tear it all to bits, finish welding a few bits, and then I can paint it and start putting it together permanently.
