Title: Project updates Post by: TorqueFC on November 04, 2006, 06:03:46 AM well its been a while, havent been on the forum much in the last few months, started an apprenticeship 3-1/2 months ago (as a carpenter), also moved out of home in with my gf .....and in the midst of all that ! my mum passed away, so my mind has been elsewhere
well anyway onto the update. FCWESTY3-after the miss hap just before the nationals, engine was stripped of its top end, reco/worked and is all back together. manualised turbo400 has been fitted along with a 3500 stall and a bunch of other minor touches (guages, tacho, stereo) engine shall be running within the fortnight, just waiting on pushrods to come in then its just a mattter of bolting down manifold and firing it up! FCWESTY4 (aka the ute)-not that much has happend to it, welded in a tun of rust repairs on the passenger side, fitted crank supports and bolted engine together, fitted tripple carbs and headers, gearbox (trimatic) has been cleaned up new seals etc, 3200 stall coming, then it just a matter of dropping engine and box in. just waiting on getting the sedan back together then the ute will be back on its road to recovery! anyways, look forward to hearing from the guys on here, shall be seen on chat again now :) that ive got things together.... see ya's around :) Title: Re: Project updates Post by: Just40 on November 04, 2006, 07:28:56 AM good to see you back torque,sorry to hear of your mother.when are you going to post some photos.

also got to add, my alaskan malimute has had pups again ($550 a pup, 11 pups) so the sedan will be booked into a panel shop next year for a respray (not going to attempt it ourselves, want it done in one year (not 3 lol!) maybe see some vic guys down at johns rod n kustoms?

I must say i am very sorry to hear of your mums passing as she was a very nice lady and always had a nice word to say when i attended at your place. I just picked up a 3200 high stall myself today that will go in early next week and will take a few pics tomorrow............. I hope you r ol man is going ok, cheers (how are you going to fit in your trimatic behind the grey?) tayzzzzzzzzz Title: Re: Project updates Post by: TorqueFC on November 05, 2006, 01:25:40 AM thanks for the reply Paul, not 100% sure on how we are going to fit it up yet, most likely going to do it pretty much the same way as you, does the stock sized trimatic stall fit onto the grey?
