Good to see still progressing along with the build.

Any updates on Bedford?

Forgot all about one part that wasn't welded up and was too hard to get at with it on its side so that is now done!

Got the front end all painted and its starting to go back together!

Engine and box will be going back in shortly so i can start getting the rest of the bits sorted out starting to get exciting!

It’s a good feeling when things start going back together.

Love the whole front setup. Is that HK/T/G crossmember? What are the rotor and calipers from?

[Holden202T]

its a HR front end, and the brakes are a hoppers stoppers 300mm twin piston kit, commodore pattern, but uses a falcon caliper

Well it should certainly pull up ok.

Had a reasonably productive christmas/new year break working on the car.

I worked out an easy way to move a gearbox on your own, i needed to get it out of the shed so i could give it a degrease, mainly it had dust and grinder shavings all over it.

So i fitted the motor and box back in so i could get onto finishing a whole heap of things, like working out where to put rivet holes in the body for holding hoses and wiring etc. The oil cooler lines i had already done before the chassis was painted, so i got them in place before the motor went in.

I then had to work out a spot to mount this breather can for the transmission, ended up using some old bits of pipe and a commodore control arm bolt to make a mount for it

Got everything installed and then marked some spots on the firewall for the wiring loom, also fitted a bulkhead fitting to go into the cabin for boost/vacuum gauge ... also now the wiring loom is through the firewall i can start working out where to mount the ignition module and such bits.

And of course i had my little helper, she loved un-screwing the oil fillter cap and the one on the radiator overflow bottle!

I also just procured some poly carbonate sheet (4.5mm thick) and awaiting some allen head flange cap bolts and nyloc nuts to arrive for them, also got some rubber washers.
