Any references hiding in these? I see something in one that sort of look like it?

nah nothing in the last pics, too much bare metal, didn't want to put any frosty glasses on it!

as it was there was enough sweat dripping onto it!

Got the possum piss covered doors high pressure washed and picked out the best set, these will be getting stripped of internals and then sent off to blasters.

Also been getting more of the panel work done in the boot and around the back wheel arches

I've also finished all the frame for the fuel tank and surge tank, ready for sheeting over almost.

This is whats left after I ground all the bird shit weld off, will probably cut and re-do this part!

And I've modified the template from the driver side floor to work for the passenger side, so hopefully in the next few days that can be cut out of steel and fitted!

And in other news, I bought a new set of front rims and tyres, the gemini fronts just didn't sit in far enough and they were different brand to the rear rims, so now they are all weld brand and look identical! the down side is I thought my wheel studs would be long enough but they aren't so I need to get longer ones which only come in smaller knurled diameter, so I'm going to have to re-drill the hub to suit the smaller studs .... but one from the rear put in place to prove they are in fact long enough!

so instead of 4 inch rims I have 5 inch now, and 32mm further in than the 4's, and also 1 inch higher tyre so it should not look as bulged as the others did on the smaller rim.

Illegal reference there 202....

I can help out with long studs if you want, I have a heap of surplus ARP ones if you want them.

[Holden202T]

illegal ? why is that ?

as for the studs, I've already ordered a new set, but thanks for the offer!

I think we need to establish "reference" rules....

As discussed in other threads, that glass could be a shot glass for all anyone would know, I was of the opinion that the reference was to be in a standard commercially available container with label?....

I think that it's just good manners to have opened the container also, Ant....

Back in your hole, I’m in charge of policing reference around here ! Go and play with a coke can or something
