Well he was kinda correct.. there was no rust where there was metal.. he just forgot to mention how much metal it didn't have

Damn! I was after "before/during/after" not "before/during/and a pic of the gearbox in and connected"!!

Looks good though - mainly due to knowing whats in that gearbox, otherwise it pretty much looks like any other L series gearbox!

Top effort too!

Cheers

Paul, looks like you need a photographer over there as there really aren't enough pics in here. Tell you what, flick me your CCard details and I'll be on the next flight to perth - I'll text you the time to pick me up

Failing the CC details, you'll just have to put your project on hold until I manage to get over there in Ruby Scoo, earliest I could be there will be October

Think about it and let me know

Cheers

Bennie

Looks like a mock up install to me

. What did you end up with between crank pulley and core support? Im also curious about what radiator your going with. I picked up a new rad for gen 1 leg/lib turbo cars.
Looks great so far !!

Thanks Mark, yes it's kinda a mockup fitting but don't really want to come out again

I've just sat the rad in place and found that the fans are close but not as bad as I thought. I'll fit 2x aftermarket fans ( once someone returns the other one

) and take some pics.
