im in the same postion as you atm (but my engine is in the right spot!) looks like my new plenum will foul on a booster. Im still trying to find out if it will be registerable without one. if i dont have to run one i wont be.. remote mounting is a right old pain in the arse.. and with 4 wheel disks you need 2 (from what i have been told) and at around $380-450 each they are not cheap.

But if you paid 4 grand for that job i would be getting him to pull it out and start from scratch to mount the engine in the right spot.

cheers for the help bud . but i wigged out for nothing lol
haha no need to fuss , all is fixed.
just made new mounts. engine sits where it was sposed to
yeh bottom of sump is level.
car is back together now anyway.
and no , payed 4 grand because im already doing the ute and work 60 hr weeks so i dont have time or the skills to do it myself.
i was going to buy the maddat crossmember if it didnt work.
and no it was my fault i got them to fit the engine before i provided them with the booster.
payed 4 for the whole engine bay and tunnel seam welded,holes removed ,car stripped , painted bay , all new tunnel, repair rail rust both sides , repair front apron , all rust work in front end, and to fit everything i bring including diff and tailshaft to have the car back on the road. very worth it in my opionion seeing as i dont have the time.
pateience haha.. if youve seen my ute build id say im the most pateient person ever , owned it for 2 years now , its been under primer since decemeber. slowly collecting parts to have it how i want.
\ just overreacted and stressed thinking it was a major problem when it was nothing and was fixed in a couple of hours.
anyway enough blabber.
does anyonne have 120y castor rods . as i machined my stanza ones down to the right length but would prefer 120y ones just for piece of mind.

also , with the tie rod bar .(the piece with thread on each end)
i ordered stanza tie rod ends, and they have the bigger top thread for the ball joint . but the thread for the tie rod end is too small . the original 1200 one has big thread for the rod but too small up top, does this mean i need 120y tie rod ends?

another question . whats a radiator worth to be made up around 450x600
thanks

(front gaurds are only sitting on dont start picking the body line being out)

Cool Glad its sorted, did they just lean it over a little more?
I think 4k is very reasonable for all the work you're getting done. Would I pay it probably not. But then I can do all that stuff myself and I don't work 60 hr weeks!!!
Good luck with the rest of the build matey

nice!!!!

is it just me or is the side of the car dented to the #OOPS# house

yeh its not you
most dents came with the car for free
but i paid extra for the door dent.

haha cant really notice them that much in all the other pics...just that last ones

i want your SR rocker cover please.

yeh coz i broke my slr so had to use iphone which takes the worst pictures.
rocker cover is like a couple of hours work.
now that i realised the leads run over it to the distrib
im pretty devo that its going to look messy.
if i used longer leads around the back would it affect performance?
