Well carbs and linkages, torsion bushes and a few other things all made it today around lunch, I must thank Rod and Ross for doing the post runs in the nick of...so things have been busy this afternoon and the car is going together relatively well.
Torsions are too low but I couldn't resist, looks cool but nearly on the stops!! I'll go back to the shed now and lift it up a bit, about an inch...
Unfortunately the bar$tard has got 1/2 my rear suspension in his car cause I thought I wasn't going to need it, now with the swinger rear again, I sure could use them adjustable spring plates......might have to get the bits back on Saturday night....he he he

Well still haven't turned the key, but she's ready for a pressure charge of oil and kick er in the guts first thing tomorrow, after putting a new disc caliper on the trailer, and bleeding them, but after that, I'm gonna start this thing, tune should be close and stick it on a trailer and off to Warwick.......a little later than planed.
Well Warwick has been run and won.....Thanks to all organisers, participants and spectators. Another cracker
The Hillbilly Racer showed its head but unfortunately not for long. The weak link with a fresh stocko trans was taken care of ie. the diff was electronically converted to a spool and as Dangerous said...."Cool mate, now the next weakest link will be the axle". Yep you guessed it. Whamo 2nd pass my right/left foot coordination just doesnt know the meaning of grandma launch at the drag strip, and with a spectacular right turn nearly taking out the tree, the RH axle said enough.
All happy in our camp though as the new engine has prooved to be a bull tearing bull breaker. The bottom end grunt needs to be expeirenced to be believed......maybe next year Brenndan
Many thanks to all my mates and collegues that helped source/deliver parts at the last minute and crew to make the car get to the event in time.

Unfortunately the axle took out the side cover and axle tube and flange......cool.
Well this should hold the gears inside a little easier. Just need to squeeze it inbetween the frame horns first. 🙂
It's the Renault 4 speed, tough as nails, built by ZF and 930 flanges stock. I helped Mark get this adapted to kombi bell housing a few years ago, but it's done f'all work, and I have a spare too. 🙂🙂🙂
