Cheers mate still alot of minor things to do but its getting closer..

The exhaust system is genie extractors 4 into 1 with a 2.25 system back with a cat and then just the tip itself.. so it sounds great but is still quiet at idle

It honestly looks beautiful! Its great seeing it can be done by those of us who work for a living. . .
Btw, what diameter is the exhaust outlet? Seems to suit perfectly

Near to no progress has been made on the ute as of latly just a few minor things like the underbody sealer has been completed so at least now the body looks neat..

Been having a few issues and not alot of time with the car, had been running great and has now some how gone out.. tweaked around with a few things and have found its running a bit rich so i need to go ahead and fix that but changed out the spark plugs to some platnums and seemed to make a difference and fixed the distributor gap up to .45-.55 as for some reason it was not right..

But the ute is still running sluggish and weird, when i take it for a quick drive around the block it just isnt driving right idles fine and revs up fine just when you put your foot down a little there is no power as though no air or too much fuel when driving.. but i have checked and it shows to be getting air fine with or with out the air filter to the webers and checked the lines fuel is a constant flow and not being great with twin webbers im not sure how to resolve this issue..

Other than that alot of time has been spent on my brothers car ford XC as i don't have the funds to currently to get the last little things to finish the ute and get it engineered plus registered.. Starting to become a joke not having the car on the road :(

Ute is looking great mate!
Still waiting to here some more A series goodness!! haha

As for knox carpets, i put the plus pile (the better one) in my ute 12 odd months ago and in a couple parts of it the actual fluff carpet has pulled away form the plastic mould part of the carpet, in a couple spots... One being just behind the clutch where its hardly ever touched... Disappointing in that respect.
As well as that the carpet fitted OK, not fantastic but OK. Its pretty clear they've taken a mould from an Auto trans tunnel so it is pretty damn loose around my manual tunnel. As well as saying that, it also hasnt had the seat mounts cut out.
Overall id say for the price its a pretty damndecent product, but is more of a universal datsun 1200 carpet and will work ok if the time it taken to fit it....

Ok cool. I have an Auto tunnel and it has been encouraged a little to be bigger for the CA18 auto box so it might fit perfectly :)

as for the grill - sometimes I think the old style is more stylish - good job

So i made a nice little change to the Ute last night put on a stainless grille on the ute and gave it a good polish just need to put the badge on and ill be happy

Yeah happy with the carpet they did a good job with it from knox and i installed it myself just spent the time to do it right.. but it certainly is loose around tunnel it would be the neat if it had the auto tunnel..

Im sure they would fit the carpet but im in Canberra and Knox carpets is down in Melbourne..
