the shifter is there to make you holden owners feel at home because you can fix every thing on a holden with a shifter

seriously i use the ring end to bend my exhaust pipe

and yeah i figured the paint was probly the problem tubman plus i applyed it way to thick lol but its getting there

well after a lot of stuff ups and idea changing and the deciding to stand on it when i was pissed has led me to here and its almost done so let me know wot you think






well this is the only time im going all out on an engine as it was bloody hard but i think i did well as every thing is conected like fuel pressure reg return fuel lines fuel fillter and oil cooler for turbo and runs were it is suposed to well all except engine harness and power cables lol

eventually it will be a flip nose with opening bonnet aswell

just a fun pic on my dio

well let me know wot yas think

I think for a many first attempts at, build you didnt do too bad at all mate. I cant say you have to have a plan and stick to it cause ALL mine are done/changed as I go with only the final result kept as the goal. I will say the more stuff you do the easier it all becomes so maybe focusing on say the engine only for a few builds. You're a braver man than I for cutting up a freshly painted curbside to build an engine and bay for it so for giving it a go.

now thats some grunt in the engine bay,

thanks DSF i have kept to plan kinda its just got a lot more detail than i origanally planed for and the flip nose is only hapening cause i steped on it and crushed just the front end but its getting there

and yeah allan i figure if ya gonna use a hair drier than might as well be the biggest one you can find

ok well heres were im at and just wen i thought i was on the home stretch the paint just kept going funny and i could see every little scratch from sanding it back so i changed colour a little and decalled it then half way through apllying my clear i bumped it so off the front end goes and snaped in half again for like the 50th time



and heres some more pics of the decals on it










well hope yas like it and for all those going to the carshow in rocky this weekend it will be there finished well unless i drop it or something stupid
