The fab work looks great,and that motor is a monster

Looks pretty good to me. Everybody has their own. Get a rear view camera, that's where most images will be if they mess with ya. Congrats.

Finally back in the country after being away for a while with work...

But good news is some meaningful updates.

Car was finished today at the trimmers.

Inline with the smooth theme of the car everything leather wrapped with no screws or studs.

Rear seat over the tubs, double stitching to accent and a bit more bolstering than the original seat came out with.

3 point inertia reel belts (all brand spanking new out of a VE commodore) built into rear seats.

Love the door trim, if only I could have also had no door handle....















Short 1.25 min video (as gives a better overall view of the interior)


And just a random pic that really blew me away with the pearl showing through...have I said how much I love this paint !!!



We aren't far away now, my accelerator foot is getting itchy

Looks good. Won't be long now!

OK a couple of major milestones...we are moving rapidly to rego.

First up, car was fired up last week for the first time. I was overseas so wasn't here for it, but popped in today and had em fire it up for me.

30 sec video of BBC awesomeness here (turn it up loud):




She won't sit this low when done (as much as I would love it to), at this height the front is about 1 inch from the ground). Looks fricken awesome !!!!



Also all glass is now in (pics)





cowl panel needs a bit of adjustment




Bumpers and grille in. Note the bumpers are smoothed and tucked way way into the body.







And finally just a video of the car, note the plug leads will be tidied up and run under the exhaust, just put in loosely for now.

Looks good. Getting close now.

1st decent drive today on trade plates...drove about 10 Ks

Getting ready for engineer tomorrow

One thing I have to say is that these brakes rock !!! Holy Sh1t it stops...

Drives way better with 17x12 drag radials than the 18x9 with street tyres on it...the 18x9's just want to get sideways every time I breathe on it....

think I'm happy ???

[tones2SS]

Very nice. Congrats on the first drive. She sounds good.

You sure that's a 632 your running? In the video, you passed right by a gas station! Very nice build, congratulations.
