Once again, been almost a year between updates :knock: but 2018 has been huge! Done alot of traveling this year Thailand, Jindabyne/Snow, Hervey Bay/Fraser island, Central Coast, Canberra and drove 12+ hours to Adelaide to pick up a car stay the night and drive 12 hours home again hahaha

So yer drove to SA to pick up this VH that has had an injected 5ltr fitted but not wired up, always wanted one and this come up reasonably cheap and was the right combo so jumped on it! Needs a little bit of work but is a long term project at the moment.

While I was down there went and saw TK and picked up my crank and rods that he was kind enough to hold on to for over a year

Had a little Peter Brock memorial cruise to the mountain

This was pretty cool, went pretty good aswell for a standard VT 5ltr

There was a white VR GTS there with the cloth devonish interior, if anyone knows of some for sale Let me know Please! :yup:

I almost sent you a message when we were on our way down, but had a pretty tight deadline on the trip

So again it’s been quite awhile between posts… but I’ll update on what’s been happening over the year and a half.

V6 Daily was running out of rego and needed more money then it was worth to fix it and was wanting a ute, a week or so looking around a 99 VS S3 factory Manual ute popped up on FB market place that a young bloke was selling cheap, V8, Ute, with rego perfect!

Exterior is rough but didn’t care cause I wanted to be able to throw dog/tools/dirt/whatever in it, take it to the river/farm and not have to worry about it getting scratched.

Being 99 S3 it has the 179kW Roller motor

Had the typical breather hoses broken and smelling like fumes

Some Hi-tech hose clamps I found holding on the fuel supply/return/breather hoses :cower:

Fully Sick sub woofer holes!!!

With the absolute butchered wiring to match…

Had a panel beating mate come and unpick the rear firewall and weld in a new one from a donor ute at the wreckers

Put some Dynamat down that I had laying around

Purchased a $80 shifter off ebay to piss off the shit house factory Getrag setup that makes you feel like you are stiring a bowl of soup trying to find a gear…

And just tried to unfuck all the things the young bloke touched and make the interior a much nicer place :joyous:

In November last year I had a mate practicing photography and got him to come and take some photo’s of my cars in the old Holden dealership in town, I think they turned out alright

Came back from America and moved into the new house only to have it under threat from the Fires two weeks later, then once they were over went back to my home town to grab the SS which they had been copping massive dust storms every week so the poor car was absolutely covered in dust!

Now at it’s new home and stuck in Canberra where I don’t really know anyone and can’t cruise cause of this stupid Rona Virus!

Was Amazing! Already want to go back in the Summer time and start in LA instead and head east!

So it’s been quite sometime between posts due to life/covid/work but I got accepted for Summernats next year so I thought I better tidy a fews things up and also do abit of maintenance on the old girl.

Before the Holden signs finally disappeared

Cluster out to replace some blown globes

Found this shit when I pulled the door skin off to replace some broken/missing clips

Surprise it’s on the other side aswell

That’s better
