Cheers lads, will get a few more photo's shortly. Am coming to a completion of the project, and am very much looking forward to starting on the next! Then it will be time to uncover the old watercooled desk and remaster that. If only money grey and trees and time was endless

So it's been quite busy for me in the past few months. And they were not exactly trouble free months either!

Firstly an overcharging alternator at the 'Hanmer Meet' which blew all my relays and destroyed my little tacho circuitry. Resulting in an unexpected weeks stay in CHCH (which turned out to be awesome, expensive... but awesome)

But now we have her up and running sweet. Just need a new diff head because my one has a slightly bent pinion but that's not a biggie.

She drives like a dream and has a big power increase over the ol' 4K

Awesome people should post more stuff like this.

im actually gonna do one about completely rewiring a custom 1980's ford pinto now that i have seen this thread. though mine will probably take the rest of the year and half of next year since im working on it in school. 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

Pretty sweet build, i noticed you took out windscreens, just curious as to how you got them back in? Did you reuse the seals? If not where did you get them? Right now i am working on sanding everything down to metal but not sure where to get seals for windscreens when it comes time for reassembly. Hopefully someone has some info that could help me. Thanks in advance
