    Hey guys,

    A good mate of mine (steroidchickens) finally remembered to call me to go to Oran Park for a practice day, just as a spectator, at one of the recent meet ups.

    Had a ball watching everyone and was instantly hooked!

    A week later I had a Sprinter sitting in the garage ready for the big build. I also happened to have a CA sitting around, so considering Brad had done the conversion prior I thought I would pick his brain and make sure I didn't make the same mistakes he had... :lol:

    So as it stands currently:

    STRIPPED INTERIOR
    EMPTY ENGINE BAY-(IF YOU NEED A 4A MOTOR OR/AND BOX LET ME KNOW)
    F-SERIES DIFF WITH WELDED CENTRE

    That's about it for now I will keep you posted as it progresses. Below are some pics.

    Cheers, John.

    hmmm that bonnet's a worry.

    was bogged and primered, then left in the rain.

    I'm yet to investigate whether its salvageable.

    i said check out the car not the stands!

    i always have a backup system in place...if the car falls there is a spare wheel under the rails to keep things in check :wacko:
    this sort of know how only comes with practice kids, don't try it at home!



    engine mounts are on the way, hopefully get some time off to put em in soon
