what de-rusting solution do you use? a mild acid of some sort? 

your parts are really clean... interesting stuff going on.

nice brackets 

that's alot of coin for a guard...

At the end of the day they all look the same with paint on. 

looking good JB

i've just started using Gibbs Lubricant on my bare metal things.. too early to give a review for long term but it seems good for everything.

For my car outside ive actually used KBS Diamond coat to clear coat the chrome.

Ok todays effort
My question is how many are running  thermos on the front ?
They are stepped off the core 15mm ?

Pete, I tried a few configurations and in my case twin 10 inch thermos on the front were not sufficient.

In the end a shrouded engine fan was perfect, with twin thermos on the front that would kick in at certain temp.  I wired them in to the ECU to come on as if AC was on.. so there was a temp set point and at certain speeds.

with that set up it could idle through Sydney CBD during peak summer without the needle on the temp gauge moving... a hi flow Milodon thermostat was also installed.

the rad was a 4 row, cut down to fit under the bonnet latch panel with torana tanks.

Thanks guys glad you  like it and tolerate it on a Holden forum 

Will have to check out your build Mark, after building one comfortably on a jig I don't think I can go back.

Once it's a roller I will be forced to put it on the ground though, that time is getting closer.

Here's a little project update it's been about 12 months... not alot of Holden in this one besides an HK steering column.

Chassis boxed, jag front fitted, diff shortened, 4 link rear tacked in, engine and trans being fitted now.

Unfortunately an FC wont be slung over the top.




here was a mock up prior to setting up the chassis in teh jig, so ride height could be determined.


anyway it's Friday, hope you enjoy it.

Cheers

Ed

You amaze me Pete!

Great work, you don't sit still for long.

Cheers

Ed

Thanks for clarifying the fit up to an FB/EK Harv. 

Any chance of a pic of that setup as over hte years I have had a lot of guys from FB/EK ask about them.

Graeme,  I have a set available  if you're interested.

Cheers

Ed

ahh didnt realise the std V6's are a quad cam.. never looked at them before.

no not taking the piss, will probably put a 1uzfe into my rodeo eventually.

Hey fe350,

1uzfe in a rodeo.. now you've got my attention! 

Ive been comtemplating doing this to my TF, im already putting a 1uzfe in the 42.

any details on the conversion?  did you use a soarer rear sump or custom?

Cheers

Ed

looks great JB.. looks nicely tied together in one colour.

Its ok pete there is time for you to grow up and put a v8 in it lol

regards fatboy

yeah a 1uzfe 

slapping wipers...

try swapping the wipers over on the offset linkage, it's likely they are connected to the wrong ends.

Thanks Alex,

WIll check it out.

Cheers

Ed

Hey Pedro,

I used "speed clips" fitted over the vent lip, and then drilled the dash where the factory holes would have been.

If anybody has the fitting template and could post it, would be much appreciated.  I seem to have lost mine.

alternatively use sikaflex or similar adhesive into the vent opening.

Cheers

Ed

Lovely proportions.
