I think I should be ok with most of the assembly stuff it's just prep work and head and block mods I'm not comfortable with. First thing is first, got to strip the motor down. Will wait till I get the car on its wheels first and then will tackle the motor. Out of curiosity does anyone know what sort...

Please tell me you are hoing to put that retro sunny decal back down the side once its painted haha Thanks for that appreciate i...

Have you bolted an engine together before? How carried away do you want to get with building this engine? Is it a "Final engine" Or just an engine until you build the "final engine" Yea I've done the head gasket and basic block work but as this is the engine I'll be using for a ...

Been a while since my last update but rest assured I have been very busy! So long story short the car ended up going to Warricks as he organised a shed for Blaine to blast in while Blaines shed is being rebuilt. Hopefully should be getting blasted and primed in the next couple of weeks so am very ex...

I can model and 3d print a test if you need, can't help with machining though. Plenty of local shops would bang you out some but be prepared to pay around $250 or something I'd think.

That'd be awesome! I'll pm you now.

Am after a pair of RCA's to suit B310 knuckle and R31 strut. So it will need a 44mm bottom ring and a 54mm top nub. There was a guy in Dunedin who used to make them but apparently no longer does.

Yeah rang little metals. Thought I would be cheeky and try my luck though haha. Not a huge deal.

Anybody have some 15/16mm thick 4041 steel or 7075 alloy I can use for my brake conversion? Need approximately 2 pieces of size 32x190mm. Can drill myself and can cut if the piece is close enough but if I can save money not getting it lasered or water jet cut by easysteel that would be awesome!

Thanks found what I needed on Ozdat after I created an account. Next question though. Does anybody have and 16mm plate lying around? Need approximately 2 of size 190x32mm.
