    Hopefully it will be done, haha. Not much big stuff to do, well... Still have to sort out if I go riveted flares or weld front guards on rear, might just go the flares for now as they give heaps of room.

    Had friday off so got a bit done, got it to mates place. Pulled engine apart and put new water pump, timing belt tappet cover gaskets, ect, ect.

    Sorted out the flywheel and clutch, offered box to engine and the input shaft decided it wasn't long enough... But how ever the gearbox kit I bought for the engine cam with a solution for this problem

    Helped out my mate put together the stroker 308 for a commodore engine, V8 life, haha some very rare and expensive cars in the background there! (not the commodore, haha.
    Then we found some paint and did the engine bay probably do the rest of the interior in orange next weekend and probably just do the exterior in satin black for matsuri and paint it after, I was thinking blue and white, just solid 2k so easy to touch up if something happens.

    Should most defiantly be ready for matsuri but I may be unable to drive, might have t have an operation, not sure will have to go see another doctor, the operation itself is only day surgery but recovery time is long till I can sit down in a stiff car with a race seat...

    Anyone know what the go is if we can't drive? I would think there would be a long waiting list for people pulling out? Might have to not go depending on when this operation gets done or just deal with it and get it done after matsuri, haha.

    I've been a bit slack, got all fuel lines done and radiator hoses done. Trans tunnel is done, should get a tailshaft made up soon when I find a rear flange to fit an early hilux diff I should just measure it and see what fits. Then only things stoping it from running and driving are wiring everything again! and brake lines, all of them, haha.
