I think it looks great, and the hours spent and knowledge learned are invaluable.

Just please don't scratch the paint when you are placing the engine and gearbox back in (!) like I did. I also wrecked a raidiator in the same movement

quick question..................

would a single, 4 gauge earth cable, be sufficient enough for engine to body?

Post by **shanec86** » Sun May 27, 2012 2:07 pm

yeah thats not far off what they use standard anyway is it?

4 gauge should be fine... if thats just cause you have some lying around. If you've gotta go buy one i'd go 2 gauge

Post by **15exa** » Sun May 27, 2012 6:13 pm

yeah theres like two standard, one 8 gauge from box to chassis and a 12 or 14 guage from head to chassis.

the last weeks efforts..........

new HD clutch goin on

brother in law brad helping lower the engine to ground level in the bay.... thought it was a better idea to fit the gear box on the ground and raise it into the bay to minimise the possibility of scratching paint.

hoisting it back up with gear box fitted (notice the sand blasted box, easy couple of hours there)

all settled into its new home with most things hooked up

i quiet like the pod right off the turbo, definately keeps things tidy

another angle

basicly just needs a few more things til the bay is done, knock up zorst, fix up a rocker cover and intake pipe, get ignition leads of the correct lengths and wire ecu................. getting there though.

i was thinking of doing a vintage bronze rocker cover (same colour the body will be)...... what yous rekon.

any chance someone could knock up a quick photochop with a bronze roker cover

making steady progress.....

got it running after nutting out the ecu a bit, not great, but running all the same.............. thanks damo and tass for the advice.

playing around with stance atm, think i have the height sorted, just have to space them out a bit now....

are they 15x7 +25 all round? i would have thought they'd be more flush than that. needs more tyre. looks like 185? haha

sweet as though.

Post by **15exa** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 7:50 pm
