Playing around with filters. Which do you think looks better? and, dont mind the big hole. the bonnet cost me $50!

That looks porn mate. Defiantly the bigger filter.

Any closer photos of your rocker covers?

I’d go with a 9×5

 

Hate to follow BUT 9×5 just looks so right on early commo’s.

 

That being said mine has baby 9×2 k&n thing sticking out…looks subtle,pity it’s hidden by brock scoop to keep plod happy.

 

ps Want to see this big chasers on back with turbo hubcaps..sell a kidney!

^I cant quite see on that photo showing the starter swap, but have you checked the engine turns over?  I know on some of the early swap plates plates (like mine) they fouled the bolts on the back of the flex plate and you had to shave the plate down to clear them.  The new plates in the kits have a relief machined in, just might be worth checking before you get the whole box in and find it doesn’t turn.

We must be on the same wave length. I just told my mate today we need to check this.

It does have the cutout but just need to be 110%!

Wilwoods are on. I’m upset i had to run an 8mm spacer to move the caliper in more.

Looking good mate.

Loving the wheels gmvl. Look tuff under the vl. Are you doing the battery to the boot yourself???

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Maybe double check with ANDRA. Pretty sure they don’t like the plastic battery box in the boot. As you can’t bolt it down (have to use a strap).

plastic box doesnt faze them [for 10.00], just needs metal braces.
