OMG! Another second gen Camaro, from down under!

Long time no update!

Where to start. Apologies for the poor quality / portrait photos, i really should have kept on top of documenting the build a little more thoroughly.

Fitted the Speedtech torque arm rear suspension.

A benefit of removing the trunk floor was that i could fully weld the cross brace that the coilovers and panhard bar bolt too, with a floor already in place you can't get a mig / tig in to fully weld the brace along the top edge.

I also had the Forgeline GA3R's refinished. The centre's were done in the same colour as the motor / transmission, with the inner barrels being done in gloss black to hopefully hide brake dust in the future.

I then had the huge tyres fitted so that they car could be trialed on its wheels with its new rear suspension for the first time.

The next big task was to fit the Extreme subframe.

After having the firewall made i wasn't happy with the execution, it was warped and the top edge wasn't very level which made cutting a large hole in it to fit the driveline as far back as the frame allows a little easier.

Nearly the entire motor except the Drive Junky accessory drive will sit in line or behind the front axle centre line. Pretty happy with that!
