Nicely coming along Mitch, great reading.

Yay my belt/ pullies and coupler showed up. Which was good the tracking said it hadnt moved in weeks. With that black coupler it should mean i dont have to remove my cc and ac even though the cc probably wont work. I couldnt get a metal bend tight enough and one that reduced from 3.5" to 3.0" i tore down my mock up today so i have no idea untill the engine is back

Thanks boys. I look forward to seeing your engine pics very soon young fella

Thought i should jump start this bitch. few updates things are going slow at the moment. we are building our house should be done late december early jan weather permitting.
ok so the gear box is pulled apart. i have the new bellhousing brace all fitted just has to be weld in place. the new front diff and centre diff are to go in and the broomfield end case to go on.
new oil pump with the billet gears installed
received the 280km speedo thank you Pete
all new brass fittings installed in the thermo housing like i said i would do.
and the valve covers all stripped and ready for powder coating, a little unsure if i will powder coat the thermo housing or a different coating

The Brass does look awesome should be considerably more corrosion resistant too!

hows that going? I should send you an email to ask

ours has been no-end of bullshit

[MechanicalShutdown]

Thanks mate i do hope it eliminates a couple of future headaches. The house actually has started being built yet. We have a colour scheme to pick tomorrow then its practically started. We got a really good turn key package, includes everything bar fences and clothes line. just a deposit then nothing else until its completed. If it were progressive and didn't include everything we couldn't afford the two mortgages. Hey our front door is a Hume door haha. I was wondering how your place was coming along mate?

wow sounds like we're very close to the same stage, except that Wisdom are going to take another 4 months due to liverpool council and admin slowdowns :|

I know what you mean about the two mortgages.... oh well! should be a nice place to stay while you pay them off aye! where abouts are you building?

[MechanicalShutdown]

Your kidding mate 4 months is massively irritating. Do you have an estimated build time?
Were building up at bingara gorge. Picton rd and the hume hwy. fair bit closer to everyone we know.
