awesome build capssy!

not sure if I missed it but what extractors did you use ?

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

Absolutely Love this mate followed it closely on SC and can’t wait to see it finished!

Whats the plans for it, take on the show scene, or just drive every now and then?

And that manifold is just Porn!!!

extractors are pacemakers and the plan at this point do a couple of shows but i know i wont resist driving it

Good job on transferring your build thread to here , it’s good to see people making the effort after Gary has gone to the trouble to create us a new forum

car is off the chain !

I have followed this build for ages on sc… Is great to be able to comment on it on the new forum that Gary has so kindly organised. So cheers Gary and this thing is gorgeous in every way. The colour the fitment the style and that manifold. Great job mate you’re really lifting the bar

Seriously its builds like this that made me decide to build the new forum. I was also following this on SC, what a bloody crying shame if we lost info on builds like this. Funny how you build something that you think is bloody good, then you see a build like this that takes it up to a whole new level. Just a truly beautiful car. Well thought through, beautifully executed, all the mods complement each other, truly awesome work mate.
