Cheers guys, got some pics today but not the best because of the weather, ill try again tomorrow. I'll put em up anyway.

Na sven, Ive got another daily but once i get the new setup dialed ill drive it when the sites i go to permit haha. Still has reg.

...So heres the full story shortened.
Lowered it and put the 86 struts in and the 86p/s arms (which were longer than rolla ones?). Drove it for a while. Blew headgasket. Reco'd head with cam regrind and heavy v/springs. Got exhaust done, 2inch press bend with hotty and hi flow muffler. Sounded good. Got 32/36 carby and electronic ignition. Drove it some more, it was nice. Bought the 4agc. Looked at it and drooled for a while. 4ac was leaking oil in various and still unknown places. Chipped away putting stuff on 4agc. Got another daily. Pulled centre out and got it welded. SO GOOOOD!!. Did swaybars. Tight. Decided it was time. 4ac came out. Did some stuff. 4agc went in. Couldnt get it to start, no spark. Problem-No ignition module haha. Started it. ITS ALIVE. Its missing though.

So pretty much here we are today, thats a basic summary, i was doing a detailed one then the comp crashed lol. shit.

I did a comp test just before, as i found a leaking o-ring on one of the carbies and as it didnt rectify the problem, i was fearing something more serious. Got 130-ish across the board so im pretty wrapped. #3 plug wasnt very nice though, showed some signs of running too rich whilst the rest were good. So now ill go to the exhaust place and get a 2.25inch system, not sure on what mufflers but i want it under diff with a flange just before if so i can break it when i need to drop the diff. And hopefully the carby man can rectify the problem. Then it will be off to winton and what not. Hopefully it will be ready by the feb meet, if not to enter then at least to drive up.
