Shit you have some skills mate, looking great.

Nice, more pics buddy!

Any progress is good progress!!  I am no welder, but for me its def something you have to be in the right mood for.

Thought I would bring the old girl into work, which is about a 45 minute drive.  Ran like a dream even in the heavy traffic.  Only downside was it was full-on sunshine when I left home, and then it turned a little foggy/misty.  Eng temps rock-solid, oil pressure great bla bla, zero issues.  Happy days!!

Looks like I need to get me some Trefolex

And I was wrong…. Lordy lordy, turns out the MX5 (Turbos) and LV2(304) had 15″ rims and a different hubcap.  The plus side is I think they look really nice, the downside is they have the Turbo premium on them which makes them more sought after than a barn find Ferrari.  So back to the drawing board and scouting around to see if I can build up a…[Read more]

Found another nice piece of the puzzle, looks like I have scored a nice set of correct 1987 VL Berlina hubcaps.  The guy may also have the correct radio, although I am a little scared at what price he may want for it given they seem to be as scarce as rocking horse shit, and as sort after as successful outcome from Brexit.

All good, your car dude, and I have been accused more than once of being a little over the top, carry on

Does full LSA conversion into VR, but making two bent tubes too much work?  Come on dude…

backin the day I had an ex cop powder blue VL 5L.  I got the bumpers repainted and it was MX grey.  It looked great.

Will try to get some on the weekend.  Tbh no I didn’t think to actually see what the intake temps were before.  I can say that before after a while if I lifted the bonnet it was hot as hell under there.  It’s way better now, but I appreciate that not a very scientific measurement unit

That’s good news, for a moment there it was looking like Cav would finish his before yours ha ha.

I think it is MX Grey and no reason at all.  I believe it has to be a paint with some additive that makes it a little flexible so it doesn’t flake off.  Worse case in a couple of years or whatever you do it again.

I reckon that would look way better if you made up some hardlines out of tube down to the bottom left of the engine and coat them black.  Then just the flexible hoses across to the cooler with 90 degree fittings.

Yea baby, congrats!!

I really enjoyed my self at HbH. So whilst there I decided to finally get off my butt and formally join the Commodores and Classic Holden Enthusiasts (CACHE) car club. I would like to start doing some club cruises, meeting, etc, and they seem like a genuinely nice group of fellow enthusiasts. Turns out they are doing a display of some club cars at…[Read more]

Yea sure did, it’s totally unusable and ridiculous on the street. Just what I wanted 

What a great show.  Super happy with how the car presented.  But also ran, started etc flawlessly.  After the event was a long slow cruise up to Holden’s factory and through, temps, pressures etc perfect the whole time.  Then on the way home gave it a couple of hits on a quiet road on the way home.  Holy shit it literally smokes them endl…[Read more]

Looking sweet dude .
