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!
Daz.

So close! Give RET or CustonFC a holler, they are the mods for this section and will be able to fix the links. Wicked looking ride you have there BTW.

Daz, what a great car!  a great job you have done.  Saw your car at Wintersun and was impressed by the work that has gone into it.  Must give you a great deal of satisfaction to have finished  your pride and joy after so long.  Well done!  Cheers, Mike.

Thanks OLD59!
 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.
