Thanks mate!

They are replicas, the standard ones won't allow rear doors to open properly.

The company that made them, no longer do, so may be abit diffiult getting some

Looking good Generation!

I know you say your keeping it practical and it's still going to be used as an everyday car, not a track car. But you going to fibreglass bonnet with pins etc? or keeping it all metal?

Metal. This bonnet was brand ew less than a year ago!

If I was into the whole "weight saving" stuff, I'd have to start with myself

I was thinking more for looks tbh, with the pins. But also having the fiberglass to back up the pins 'not being for show' haha

Then I got these done



Heres my cracked sump









Old baffle plate nice and clean after the rebuild

Inlet and fuel rail will be fitted, when I go to Toms for some custom work on the bay

Done a good on that mate,as you said plenty of clearance. Always a bonus.

What's it sound like? Loud? My mate has one that's all and his is very raspy.

Thanks sparx, commets like that make all te hard wok worth it!

Jed, don't hang low really, just old shocks were bin worthy (and was) and couldn't handle the weight of the engine, so was bottoming out alot.
Now I have the new coilovers, it no longer happens

Is that manifold and system just the normal, common "Ashley" , or is John Ashley a different brand??

If its a normal Ashley manifold, keep an eye on it. Had 1 on mine and it kept cracking where it goes from 4 into 2. Heard of quite a few of them doing the same after about 6mths.

Although it's on now, so will just keep an eye on it.
