Hi Blok,

That blue really sets the car off, will look unreal when it has a full coat on it.
Hope you got some done today cause it's not real nice weather here in Casino :(.

[DN2168]

No worries Blok,

Nice work BLOK ...Are you going to weld a reinforcement plate around the gear shift opening should be  50mm all the way around  ??? ??? ???......FC427......

[BLOK]

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]

Did not know that FC427 what exactly is the purpose is it because the cut out weekens the tunnel although i wouldn't think so

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.....

[BLOK]

Yes mate easy fix now ,can you tell me what the required thickness of the reinforcing plate is ill cut one out at work cheers

[FC427]

I usually use 1.2 mm ...FC427.....

[BLOK]

lot of rain this week but played around with the throttle linkage ,used the bits off that corona and it seems to work well





i was able to use the original throttle linkage and adapt to the WW twin barrel stromberg using the corona part

[BLOK]

Knocked up the centre consol today using cardboard as template and then cutting out the MDF was fairly fiddly job but it came up OK

[JB]

Nice... Will look good when its finished.  ;D ;D
