Nice work mate, progress is progress

So it’s been a while since I’ve updated this.

I’ve re done the rear end with coil overs and made sure everything fits 100% before it off to get power coated. On that note, the kframe is getting redone and front struts also.

Engine bay is all smoothed over and primed. It’s in high low atm. Engine is in which I’m stoked about, I’ve had these parts for about 2 years now and finally starting to see it come together.

Still need to drill holes for brake lines and fuel lines and cooler piping but I have some progress which I’m stoked about.

Nice progress & rear wheel sit nicely inside wheel arch.

After some gentle massaging behind the headlight turbo fits and got about 20mm clearance around it
Very happy at this point in time. Now to mark out holes for fuel lines, piping for cooler and brake lines oil lines for catch can and loom
Hopefully painted by tax time 😁😁

Going to run the dump pipe thru the back of the strut tower where the fuses normally go. Got to plate it both sides to make it stronger tho. The same as cooler piping

When the motor is done just a freshen up rings and bearings bottom end, hopefully if the tax man is good to me and get some Higgins heads, cam and valve springs. Just the norm and a Holley ram manifold
But just want to get some paint it and get it rolling again.

hey mate do the coil overs use the original top shock mount in the boot or did you have to cut that out ?

[VkgmhParticipant Vk supercharged 5L Vk ls project View build HERE Member since: October 6, 2016 Posts: 32]

Finally got paint on the car after a few years of prep and working where everything went. Now the process to put it all together without scratching it

For my coil over set up I welded a bar from chassis to chassis and welded tabs off that to mount the coil overs.
Didn’t want to drill holes in my boot floor.

Wow, that looks fantastic.

[VkgmhParticipant Vk supercharged 5L Vk ls project View build HERE Member since: October 6, 2016 Posts: 32]

I stripper the underneath off also with a grinder and wire wheel. Such a mind numbing job but absolutely stoked with how it come up.
Rear end all set for the final time, trans cooler mounts done and mounted. Just need to make shroud to protect it and wire it up.

Looking good any chance of photos of the tub work

[moodybluebobParticipant View build HERE Member since: March 4, 2015 Posts: 44]

looks awesome mate. gotta love got bang for buck of an S475

[VkgmhParticipant Vk supercharged 5L Vk ls project View build HERE Member since: October 6, 2016 Posts: 32]

Started the tubs by up grinding the sound Deadener and marking a line to cut.
Cut that with a 1mm disk grinder and up picked spot welds in the tubs
Tacked in a 30mm strip in on both tubs
Spot welded all the the way round and flapper disk flat.

Finished off with some seam sealer and painted black

This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.

So my motor went in for a cam and valve springs, ended up coming out with new piston and rings, rods and heads done.

Couldn’t be happier with the the outcome. Build it once, build it properly.
