Ahh was this the coupe on ebay not long back around sydney way. Can see your work on the plenum to. Did you use one of those double ended type drill bits the stumpy one and are you aware what size bit it is to drill out the spot welds. We are embarking on this job to as you saw in my Unpicking the plenum thread.

Ok, So the coupes gathered a lot of dust over the last 6 months or so, and nothing has been done apart from put more empty beer and bourbon cans/bottles on or in it. Yes Andy, used the stumpy flat tipped drill to drill the spot welds. Ive been pretty busy with work and to make myself busy, decided to take a week of work and chuck a ls1 into my work van for #OOPS#s n giggles. All sorted now. Ran it down the creek a few weeks back and did 3 13.7s and a 13.8. so i guess i should never be late to a job now haha.
Anyways back onto the coupe this weekend i think. Will start whoring the classifieds again with wtd adds. Heres a pic of the blue brick haha.

That is one freaky van, I missed this thread.
A friend put in the 4g63 from a turbo verada or something
and is running similar times but Im sure an ls1 sounds
amazing. I must admit theres just something about cubic inches.

woohoo!! got my new coupe shell in my garage finally. this was a old man owned smick car that i bought of a bloke who started to do er up. its a 73 auto coupe. came with all its original bits and pieces, and has been striped to be painted. Its had its engine bay sand blasted, passenger door striped, repaired and high filled, rear 1/4's stripped and primed, boot lid striped, repaired and high filled, roof striped and primed.
It only needs the sills done (both front corners have a few rust spots) and a few minor dent repairs on the rad support, and a dent or two on the rear beaver. Hopefully be painted before i know it!!!
The plan then is all back together stock as a rock, including auto trans for now just so i can cruise it!! Will finish the coilovers, angry motor and man conversion at a later date.
Best $1000 spent in a while!!!
