Happy days - must be a weight off knowing that its all done. Thanks for sharing the looooong journey - just been looking back for inspiration on my build.
should go full rego first year so you can drive the wheels off it with no limitations (other than a speed limit unless you also believe in this take out riding and insert driving )

sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping
Got it weighed today, 1440 KGs, a bit heavier than i thought but then again, 9 inch, turbo700, chev donk, chassis kit, fans, big radiator, caltracs, etc etc all adds up !!!
I have to now do a rego inspection, blue slip then off to TfNSW, still a nountain !!!
All most the same build as Harv but you came in 140kg lighter van's must be heaver ?
Sorry I meant Wagon but you knew that

MY Father always said do the hard part first --because when you are OVER IT you only have the easy part left to do THINGS I HAVE TRIED TO LIVE BY
From the Workshop manual, wagons (both Specials and Standards) are 116lb, or 52kg heavier.
... mine is 100kg overweight for all the assorted crap on it that it doesn't need if I was smarter (brake pump, dynamat, towbar, windshields, foglights etc).
Cheers,

You boys must be adding a lot of weight with those extra cylinders frank only came in at just over 1200 Kgs I know it is a Ute and all and I'm missing cylinders but a couple of 100Kgs is a fair bit in my book

Mmm, 9" v B/W 78 LSD, electric A/C compressor, A/C hoses to boot, Astra P/S pump, 70lts of fuel, 1/2" square tube false floor, don't think there's 80kg there, anyway is what it is.
1520kg 800 front 720 rear, might try a different weigh bridge, one day.
A place for everything and everything in it's place, just can't remember where that place is.
