driving all over SEQ in a day was worthwhile i think 😀

looking forward to getting the mounts sorted, itching for fire up day now

You bought a pallet load of plastic wrap with mystery mechanical stuff inside, which was followed by some sort of cooler looking thingy and a laptop box ???
😂
btw - meant to ask earlier about the shackle on the box... is that somehow involved in the mounting setup, or just to try and make it a bit easier to handle and shift around ???

sides, thats exactly it! i love empty boxes & used plastic wrap, just going to toss the other bits out 😂
also, boy that sway bar was a toughy, so hard to work out how it goes on :P
for the record, the loom etc is in that box, now i know why later looms cost more to modify, they are so much bigger than earlier ones
shackle was just to move around, now being used as security while working on both it & the engine on the pallet, pics later tonight, dont have my laptop here (stealing the sisters hehe)
that reminds me, gotta call rod about the rest of the driveline soonish

Admittedly Jezebel is mainly a race car and has very few creature comforts, so no stereo, carpet, headlining, sound deadening etc.
After driving her to and from work for 3 days this week to give the new gearbox some k's, the only thing I miss from driving my normal modern V8 ute is the aircon !!!

yeah, definately keeping the a/c now, just means i need to find MORE space somewhere to fit all the associated crap, goodbye what was left of the boot space up front & any room at all around the box, having a demister that works will be nice, the alternative is a heater element in the glass from a mob in the uk, stereo is a necessity for my generation sides 😂 maccas carparks here i come, though im getting too old for that crowd 🙁
Oh, the cage is inevitable it seems, will have to ask the guy nicely if he would do mine, if i come to mt cotton on sunday ill try have a better look at yours, or at the next meet drive it there! - provided its not ripped apart for the new toys to go in, jezebel is getting alot of love for christmas this year.

Mate the air is a definate surely with that water pumper in the back. I've been involved with fitting up a climate control system fully aftermarket into a wild baja and surprisingly easy once all the stuff has room, so need to plan early.

true true, i think fuel & coolant bits are more important currently though, but yes, will have to nut out how to fit it in, i guess the a/c evens out the weight front to rear...
hell, why not keep the power steering too 😂
