Looks like there's a bit of wiring to contend with, also.

Found a dunny door unregistered with a brand new air con compressor. The only item I needed.
So I stripped and flogged parts and Longman scored a V6 with with complete body harness and computers



I thought screw this I'm going to upgrade the VS single piston calipers to the twin VT before even using em


Then thought the calipers looked shit like every bloody P plater wanna be hero

15" Simmons never sat right so went and got 16" with 15mm better offset





Trimmed up a badge for the engine covers

Quote from: NES304 on June 27, 2015, 02:52:40 PMFinal engine fit....
Had to wear my FC shirt on this occasion

Had waaaaaaay to many beers last night and feel absolutely flogged
So I pulled the engine out again as it had a knocking sound that was disturbing.
Bought this to switch engines

So I ripped both engines out only to discover the oil pick up that was extended was hitting the crank. So now I have two working engines....

Red paint looks crap but it's all the heat paint I had left.
Won't see it anyway

Knocked this up and busted the radiator and oil cooler. So the maroon Calais supplied lots of spares. (Including a V8 for Longman?)

So here I sit with my engine and car watching people brew beer on the bar TV....

Can touch up the paint again now that it is out again!   ;D
