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
