OK,first...
Major thanks go to Mattie and 57chookshed.
Your help will always be appreciated!!!!!!
Now some of you guys might of done this quicker,
But i'm not tryin to break any records.
Ive calc'd the time it took and it balanced out to 10 hours.
This was with 2 meal breaks and beer breaks.
I bought a little piece of history that was keept quite for a long time.
It had a mojor bent beam and pan but all running gear inc high comp engine,OG scat shifter and lots of other goodies were in exellent cond.
The body was taken off,engine and trans out,plus a host of other bits n pieces.
It was all then swapped to my 6v rat pan which had to be stripped aswell.

Ya might want to move the oil cooler if you are planning on any long trips.....
Sitting right in front of the fan shroud inlet there, sure it gets good air flow, cooling the oil nicely, but it heats the cooling air for the motor - this heat ends up in the oil, and voila, you havent really achieved anything ....
But I'm sure you knew that already.

ColumBUS ·
starter motors and speedo cables help fellas, oh and seat belts are a good thing to have lying around

Good to hear you`ve sorted the belts, the world needs more blokes like Mattie, not less!!!!!
Just been clearancing the headlight bowls ant the top of the inner guards/boot area to get the 6" narrow beam to operate properly!!!

Glad to have been of assistance to you Aaron. Great work Mattie.
