G'day Nick, welcome to the forum!
Congrats on picking up a sweet ET mate, I've seen it in the flesh and it rocks.
Will you be making it to the Cruise up there toward the end of next month? would be great if you could.

If you want a hand putting up some pix, e-mail them to:
renegade@n12turbo.com
and I'll stick them up for you.

I think I have a list of mods on it too around here somewhere.

EDIT: There ya go, gave you a starting point. You can add/delete info there by clicking 'edit' up the top right.

Basically a GT28, LT8, custom inlet and exhaust manifolds along with the usual mods. Its booked to be tuned on the 8th of April to the maximum boost that pump fuel will allow. Hopefully all goes well.

Damn! what a shame, clean looking ride! You're from the Coast too!
Hopefully all goes well with the repair, sounds like you got it all sorted.
Keen to see it on the road.
