hey guys .

so not much happening. woke up this morning and made a list of things i needed. i will be building this car in stages.

stage 1- get the engine working and rego and get a base lap time at Wakefield.
stage 2- tyres+ rims / bucket seat + harness
stage 3- suspension overhaul

so the list for stage 1:

-waterpump
-new leads
-dizzy rebuild kits
-gasket glue
-vacuum lines
-hd clutch
-engine oil + filter
-gear box oil
-oil cooler
-gear box oil cooler
-timing belt
-water pump belt
-air con belt
-injector cleaner

and went down to the local spare parts store and they said they couldn't help me because mines a import and they need samples of everything .. sigh [8~2]

so came home and open the garage and thought i do some work today with Sydney weather being crummy lately almost every weekend .. today it was sunny!!! so i thought i do some work on the car .

plan was to get it so i could just drop it when i could find an engine crane, but i sort of got carried and away and

5hrs later or so ....

bam!!!





i cheated a little, because i did most of the work during the week.
