dear god.... well diffrent it will be... hummmmm i wouldnt mind to see it when ur done how much longer u recon?

It will never be finished. As soon as it's registered I'll start saving for engine rebuild/supercharger then rollcage then proper paintjob then interior then performance suspension. . . . i'm sure you get the idea.

It's probably best you come and look at it early in the new year sometime.

can anyone say ba/bf Falcon POWER BULGE!!!

It would be interesting with a big bulge on the bonnet but it's just another thing to sort out. It will be easier to just cut a hole in the bonnet touch up the paint and be done with it.

I'm over modifications for the time being, I just want my coupe registered so I can cruise in it.

All these years later you guys finally get some action shots ;)

I sadly had to get the rear flares extended for rego and am yet to replace them with original shape ones, I'm not very happy with the rims but they have gotten it rolling and will eventually become burnout rims so that's ok .

I love to keep my word but the truth is I'm not going to be able to. The left hand side head has blown a gasket recently, effectively stopping me from driving long distances. It has only done 900klms so far, that has been 900klm of hot laps around my neighborhood tho. I'm not really willing to fix the engine until I save up enough money to buy the engine components, it is very depressing not making it to the nationals but I don't really want to show the car when its running the tired V8 with a 2bbl carby on it even if it does still smoke 2nd all over the street while coughing and spiting.

The guards are original GT-R style flares that have been cut along the edge, stretched outwards and then fibreglassed up. I'll order another set soon.

The poor vert has sat unloved in the garage most of this year as I have been training really hard to be able to go overseas and base jump in wingsuits ;)www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU3Wgg7fons&feature=g-upl ontop of that I bought a 20ft gaff cutter sailboat to restore which probably hasn't helped the vert funding very much.

My plans to finish it now are to import a alloy top end package for the V8 and upgrade to a Supra 6 speed box before the end of the year, then save up and have a roll cage put in, weld the doors up while geting a panel shop spray job, stroke the V8 out to about 400 cubes and have a custom dash and interior put in. Hopefully then I will be content with it for a few years. I'm guessing as I've gotten it this far you guys will be willing to believe me when I tell you all these grand plans I have ;)

Also I have found some 240k parts while cleaning up my garage people want I believe. Someone wanted the two coupe door clips, I have a spare set and also someone wanted the fuel filler cap. If you guys still want these parts let me know.
