I have used the VT commodore thermo fans and cut down radiator for both of my conversions now and can say that the cars have never gone over a 1/3rd scale.
The thermo fans fir nicely with a little cutting and screw into the radiator support panel.
About 3 rows need to be cut off the radiator and then some tanks made from 50x50 aluminium tube. Get them tigged up with radiator fittings and away you go. All up cost me less than any after market brand.

I put the split tailshaft into the van when I did it, it vibrated badly. Changed to a 1 piece shaft and never looked back.

So we all have seen the excuses... shifting, exams, dog ate my homework. You must have run out of them by now. How about just finish it and make the Canberra Nationals!!!

Lol, NES it is about to be in Ballarat thanks to a very kind offer.
About time you finished yours isn't it?

It made an outside appearance today. Started well (CTEK charger works a treat!) and drove well after many months in the shed... just not me driving it.
My brother has sold his house , so am in a spot where to put it until after the next Nats in Canberra then I will bring it over to NZ.
Any suggestions or ideas most welcome.

If you use VT brake pedal set up it will bolt to the back of the booster as well as the accelerator pedal.
Then just weld a little bit of the FC pedal assemble to bolt to the dash. It isn't that difficult to do.

Have a look through 365 weeks in completed cars if you would like to see what I did.

I would ask for a set as well if you were granting Nes a set. 😃

Awesome day mate!! Nothing better than the first fire up.  Well done!!

Yup, like them!!

Definitely a screw loose in that photo!

With the van Fred, I cut the hump out of the V6 and grafted it into the floor, I then used the commodore shifter, handbrake assembly and the centre console.

Hi Frankie,

I fixed the inners first which then gave me something to weld the floor to.

The outer sills were done with the door fitment.

Hope this helps a little

Cheers

The guards have been rolled, and the ride height adjusted so that they will not touch on full lock going down a decent driveway... Misses by about a centimetre.

After eventually fixing my spring issues we finally got to go on a run after Easter, with a trip to GMH head office, RACV and the old GMH factory in Dandenong for the FE's 60th anniversary.

I knew about the one you had for the rear but not for the front. 

Did you front end come with a sway bar Pete? If it didn't, I would get one.

Nah, it's a front sway bar from V6 conversions.

Then sell the modern car keeping what means most to you.
