Thanks for the encouraging comments guys I'm really stoked at how she is coming along, i had my sons 21 st to sort out yesterday so i put the effort in today and its amazing what you can acheave when you can see what you will have at the end of all the hard work , all went fairly well today but i don't encourage trying to install an engine on your own ,i have a couple of scratches to fix up ,i hope the neighbours didn't hear me every time the engine hit the paint oops

Blok Yes it does weaken it, had the discusion with the engineer Why ?? GMH never did it from factory why do I have to reinforce it [Torana HQ HZ } but that didn't work ....It is one of the first things the RTA put up on there Guidelines for Light vehicle Modifications issued April 1994... It's an easy to do 1/2 hour job now big job when the cars all trimmed and assembled.....FC427..... |
