the missus has been giving me a hand seeing as there are only 12 days to go before i need to have this car finished. She is doing a magic job on the tailgate and both rear sides. She's determined to get it perfect. I put the new engine in for a looksie. The turbo looks good, and fits well on the new manifold, however the dump pipe fouls on the gearbox, so I went and got a T28. So maybe i will drive it on the track at the perth japanese day (will be driveable over the 3076). Got a new section of floor in (sort of, ha!) and mounted the gearbox crossmember. I got my new radiator too, and it has no mounts on it so i've gotta figure out how im gonna mount it.

sorry bout the pics, my phone camera is dirty

Nice rad- what you going to do about dumpy- dent floor or dent the pipe? I'd dent the pipe

12 days to finish it!! Stop posting and start working dude.

Unfamilia im jus gonna run a T28 for now, might get a different manifold down the track.

Revhead, been flat out, it will get done, even if it turns up in primer!!! Haha, it shouldnt, unless it keeps raining like it has the past few days then it wont get painted.

What did final drive charge for the diff shortening?

$1300 for shortening, thats with brand new axles and new wheel bearings. Im on my way to get it assembled now, assembly is about $500 and i'll find out tuesday how much the tailshaft is when i pick it up.

Engine bay is painted and now "stuff" is going back on. Had to modify the brake booster yoke to fit as im still waiting on the maddat 1. I painted some "bits" in preparation to bolt them back on. 7 days to go!!!! Hopefully it will be running by the weekend, didnt end up happening last weekend. But Levey, Datski620, and Estyre helped out on Sunday and im thinking without that help that the car probly wouldnt be ready in time, so thanks heaps fellas.
