O.k After reevaluating the ute project and deciding to scrap it and go on with me wagon. Got the late ute crossmember sand blasted today then primed it and hit it with some satin black. Then put it back in and fitted me little 120y A12 and sunny smooth case. Should be a little beast. Need to make gearbox crossmember pretty sure i can get the box in and out with that tunnel.

Did a few hours on this old girl the sarvo tidying up welds around tunnel and put a few more tacks underneath to assure the tunnel isnt goin anywhere. Nearly ready to seem seal it underneath and smooth it out around the mouth in engine bay. Pics up soon. Slow project this one but a joy to work on so solid and clean.

Again you've been deceived Mik, As the reservoir isnt even 7cm from firewall to end. the filler bottle tapers out and thats why it sits close to plenum but i can get lid on and off so I'm all good with that. Will finish it and take some more pics then throw the box on and jack it in place with tailshaft connected to see how the Bluey crossmember lines up. Should be damn close from my measurements.

you could poke my car, but im afraid your finger might go through some where.

good to see its going well. could you use a smaller sesoviour for the clutch master? look massive compared to your other set ups.

Nah I'm over under dash setups had nothing but trouble with the one in Hanky Tried 3 different hose types and sizes and still got fluid weaping from somewhere and eating engine bay paint. Gotta pull out half the dash every time to do any maintenance. Then theres the gravity feed thing, Put em wear there meant to go and easy to get at. I like the R31 pedal box just decided to mod it a bit for straight up and down clutch master bolts, easy as.

should have just put it under the dash...so much easier

seems as you are somewhat inspired to do work on wagons again, feel like coming and poking my car so atleast something is happening to it

Looks are deceiving Mik.

that clutch master looks like a pita to change the brake lines. like i can talk, theres no room in mine on that side due to gas stuff every where!

hey mate what are you using to strip the paint??
cheers

Ahh srde 1200, what a package
