Stripped the motor down to double check all tensions and clearances before it gets put to bed for the last time (hopefully!), hoping to have motor and trans in and ready to fire up by the end of the weekend :roll: :

Cheers Guys,
Fatboy, I keep opening boxes but I can't find the Blower :wink: .

John..... Busy, busy, busy is a bloody understatement!!


Here are a couple of updated pics. The acelerator is a billet "Lokar" unit, we welded some 3mm alloy plate on the side then shaped, drilled and slotted it to fit the standard VN throttle cable.

Motor and trans together (hopefully for the last time :lol: ):

Rolled the car back and forth a few times and jumped up and down to settle the suspension, final ride height will be about 25mm lower than this all-round which leaves me about 10mm grace for rego!!!!.

After its hit a few bumps it will probably settle down by that 10 mm leeway you've given it anyway.

I'm especially looking forward to seeing this car in the flesh at the Bendigo Nationals.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.
