Hey Bumper..........just noticed the earth lead for the welder on the engine block. Your probably aware of it but be careful where you are welding and where the earth point is. I have seen a few crankshafts stuffed after the current has found its way through the block to earth via the crank and bearings.

Cheers guys, Tim not sure on capacity yet, should really take measurements and work it out, Trev yeah am really leaning towards green, only down side Is I do really love the blue seats I got done! Devilrod I'd love to have her done that soon, I get it back from the exhaust shop this week, that's were the pics were taken Craig, I honestly never have heard that before but these guys have come highly recommended so hopefully they know about that! It may have just been resting there! Will take more pics later this week when she is home again

Was $2,300, I did have quotes of $3,200 and $3,500 so I found them quite cheap!
Looking at the work/hours involved I think was a fair price, and I'm really happy there not out through the inner guard

Hey There Bumper
I'm free after Xmas (26th-2nd). However I'll be away the next two week-ends (Custom Nationals 3-5 Jan :) ) , then back to work after the 6th. I don't know your work committments, but if you want to pick a day for after Xmas I should be able to accommodate. At least make a solid start and we can get our heads around marrying the Commodore ECU loom to the existing EK wiring. Also wiring (and plumbing) fuel pump(s).
Should be fun :crazy:

Did a trial fit on the new tank, fits nicely, just to fabricate a bit of floor and frame to bolt to! Wish it wasn't so hot today! "angryy:
