Had a productive couple of days, Dynamat fitted to roof, radiator support modified (again), intake pipe bracket made and Rocker cover cleaned up and first coated, if you are doing Dynamat don't pay $35 for a roller off e-bay i picked up a fiberglass roller for  $9.95 and put a bit of plastic hose over the top to cover the sharp bits, worked perfectly, hood lining can go in now.

Ha Ha guess whats sitting on my bench i forgot to send the adaptor for the airflow meter...

Sorry

[pedro]

  , What adaptor do you mean Pete i've had it all hooked up and running, you can see it in yesterdays pics, I drilled the hole for the idle speed sensor pipe and had that all hooked up too.
   Pedro

[FCRB26]

I had a stainless steel adaptor to mount the air flow meter straight onto the air flow meter but you made one allready.

Pretty well finished under the bonnet just waiting on a new set of plug leads, I've been looking for red ones but had to settle for black in the end, thanks to Pete for the intake pipe, you're a legend mate it looks shit hot.

Would agree with JB. Black leads look good.

Looking great under there. Black= good.

You should've put a 90 degree bend in the air intake and stuck an oil-bath filter on top

Great stuff, Pedro!     getting close now...

LOL 

going by public opinion it's lucky i got the black leads then , I was thinking red as there is nothing red on the engine to tie it in with the rest.

Paint around the holden logo with red then .Looks great .

[FCRB26]

Red wrinkle finish turbo style rocker cover and sand the holden back to alloy or just leave it and drive it..

Looks great

[draggin]

Looks just fine to me.

[jack_fc]

well, Pedro, a certain FE driver who we both know got right up me for having a 'flamey thing' (radiator cap) under the bonnet which she took exception to, and considered in very poor taste, so you had better get things just right under there if you're still planning on having yummy pudding this Christmas.....   

cheers, jack

[Ed]

looks great Pedro,

like the black dynamat... makes a huge improvement to cabin comfort.

PS with the roller I use a wall paper roller,it has a dense rubbber wheel

I think it needs bright purple leads.

Cheers

Paint around the holden logo with red

That was the original plan as it was red before i re-painted it but i'm a bit worried about mucking it up, anyone got any techniques for painting raised letters neatly.

a 'flamey thing' (radiator cap)

At the risk of no pud for Chrissy a flame radiator cap sounds good to me Jack it would go with the red, black and silver theme well, I'll have to go and have a look at your post/page, where did you get yours from.

Purple plug leads ED?? didn't know you were Italian LOL



Wheels painted and front tyres changed for 195's as i was a bit concerned the 205's would scrape, I reckon i could squeeze 225's under the back when these need replacing, not sure whether to run dress rims or not any opinions on the subject.

Pedro, I think there's a sorta pic of it on my car thread somewhere- it's polished alloy, circular, with 'flames' cut into it.. check the pic; if you want it, it's yours - will cost ya one beer or rum next time we meet, plus another for the postage... 
(where the flames are cut in would be real easy to fill with red paint too...  but fitting this might compromise your pudding... then again; maybe not - you haven't got ghost flames under your bonnet; I think these were the reason for a certain persons strong objection to the flamey radiator cap... and as much as I'm loathe to admit it publicly, she's right - as usual  )

re the wheels; suggestion - keep the current centre caps or replace with polished alloy spun bullets  , paint the centre of the wheel satin black and the actual rim with 'aluminium' paint, no chrome trims necessary, or paint the whole wheel satin black and fit chrome trims, either normal or 'hotrod' style...    (but then again, my tastes might be a bit off/out there...  )

cheers, jack

Nice work Pedro, your not too far away from finished by the looks of it.
