Title: FC rebuild no. 3-- Photos at last! Post by: bent8-58 on July 07, 2006, 08:20:14 AM Gaday,
Yes,believe it or not l finally have some photos for you (as long as it works!) for those of you that dont know - it was all passed & engineered at the end of April,2 days before the Bris. hot rod show. My whole aim was to DRIVE it into the Hot rod show & DRIVE it home when it was all finished,which it did without any dramas. We've done a few shows & runs since & havent had too many bugs(yet) still cant believe its on the road after nearly 6 years.Hope you enjoy the long-awaited pictures,hope they work,if they dont theres no point telling me! l know absolutely nothing about this crap!

Wicked looking ride you have there BTW.

Title: Re: FC rebuild no. 3-- Photos at last! Post by: bent8-58 on July 08, 2006, 09:11:21 PM Hey,thanks guys for your comments,& thanks for helping out with the photos,it was along day at work,& i was tired & cranky & had my grumpy-undies on! l gave it a couple of goes & thought STUFF IT! l'll fix it later. l got the good oil from a mate at the cruise last night & got on to fix it & it was done!thanks for that. Yes its great to finally get it on the road,my wife reckons its great to have a husband again too! Daz. ;)

l'm pretty pleased with the pipes too, without them l wouldnt have done the transplant.lt took about 6 years of chasing to get them off a old mate of mine.They're 1-3/4" tuned length items with the first & last pipe being a slip joint for access to spark plugs.l also used his old HR crossmember but l moved the motor back another 1" than his was for better handling & believe it or not the further back l went - the better the pipes fitted around everything. They were pretty sad when l eventually got them-very rusty, the HPC is on there to try & preserve them,as l'm thinking about trying to copy them & make a few sets. l'm a welder by trade so thats not a drama,but pulling apart a car thats just got on the road after 6 years IS! l'm just throwing the idea around at the moment,it would be very time consuming(expensive) & considering my lovely wife is 8 1/2 months pregnant, things will be a bit full on around here for a while! l can try to get a few shots if you like but l tried once before & its hard to get all the detail when theyre on the car. Daz. Title: Re: FC rebuild no. 3-- Photos at last! Post by: old59 on July 10, 2006, 07:05:16 AM thats cool mate any pics of that side would be much appreciated cant wait to see them
