Ty, same as with the front panel I have no idea what he's talking about. I'll go down sometime tomorrow and have a look, it's probably nothing. To top that off I think I blew a head gasket in the yellow ones engine, so I'll have to get that fixed too. [B)]

Brizey, cheers. How's the van going? That'll be a rocket.

she's coming along nicely, i'm still up in the air about the diff and brakes situation, also i've been messing around with boost gauges and boost controllers and soon a turbo timer so i dont blow the turbo (which would be bad)

Just went and had a look at it. The front and rear sway bars are too big, the rear one is rubbing the shocks so he wants to change that too. [B)]
Some good news. The front panel is in, and I'll be spraying it at work on Saturday. Then in goes the engine.

Ty, the problem with the diff was the nuts holding the wheels on were the wrong type, needed a set of the longer ones. It had made the studs loose as well, so that's all sorted now.
Have to take the spacers off for rego too, so I'll just bolt the 14's on until the 15" superlites get here.
Picking it up tomorrow to get the engine bay all painted and ready for the engine to go in. Not long now!

I'll post pictures when I pick it up.

Shouldn't be too long away. Still deciding exactly what's going to happen.

I did a fair bit of work on the front end today. Resprayed the front panel, nice and shiny! Finally ready for a transplant! Pictures on the way.

Getting fed up with the guy who's meant to be doing my engine swap. So far he's screwed with the rear end, broken my exhaust and almost threw it out, left heaps of dents and scratches on the body, and removed some of my seals then put them back in really loose. Oh well. I'll give him one more chance then I'll try my luck doing it at home (unless anyone can reccommend someone in Melbourne?), he seems to be creating more problems than he's fixing. [B)][xx(]

Well the exhaust is f*&ked! Thought it was only going to be a slight bend and I could bend it back into shape, but it's literally bent 90 degrees.




How the f*&k did he manage to do that!? [:x)][:o)]


Anyway, once the engine goes in the car will be back off to my work for some bodywork.

So far the to-do list is:
Shave door locks
Shave boot badge
Fix the areas where the sun has started peeling the paint
Fix the dent on the passenger r/q
Few little chips, etc

Should be fun. Really enjoyed taking it and working on it on Wednesday. I get to make it how I want it, which makes me feel more like it's my car. Which probably sounds stupid, haha.
