the dollars quickly add up on speed flow fittings.I don't want to remember how much it cost plumbing the marine engine

[vlad01]

lol, yeah some choose to forget I don't as I don't care what it costs (to a point) OCD calls the shots haha

[Holden202T]

yeah I'm happy to pay the cost to have what I want for this one

best part about speedflow, is its around the corner for me :p we made the mistake of adding up the speedflow receipts after we finished a fuel system, never again, was quite scary

Dad brought the guard over the other day so I had to fit it! .... unfortunately something has changed, I'm not sure if there is a difference between the test motor and this one or what, but the exhaust doesn't fit out the guard

So I have lopped the end of it for the time being, will adjust and re-attach one day, but the front of the car is not 100% in the right spot (as you can see from bonnet gaps) so i'll get that sorted before I finish the pipe.

and of course I had to push the car out into the sunshine to get some half decent photos!

Also got a handful of speedflow fittings so I've mostly finished off the vacuum hoses and such now.

Damn! that is nice.

That blue guard gives a good indicator to how well its going to look.

EDIT: Looking for the reference but only found a pair of brake pads on the upper arm.

[immortality]

That colour.....

[Holden202T]

yeah I'm pretty happy with the colour I probably should get a headlight in that guard with a chrome surround to really show the finial look.

no reference in these shots, these were the photo shoot shots lol

brake pads are there as I'm re-building the calipers, found out they have Bakelite pistons in them .... like fuck ... steel rebuild parts

[vlad01]

bakelite pistons? what the?
