Hi all,
This is my first post so hi to all. I was hoping I could tap into the wealth of experience/knowledge/ contacts out there and be pointed in the right direction. As stated in the heading I will be installing a late model XR6 turbo engine and auto transmission into a 66 coupe and will need some advice.
Does anyone know a good fabricator that could assist with the following?
Modifying some engine mounts with custom brackets
Creating Gearbox adaption plate
Raising Tunnel 1-2 inches to fit gearbox
Welding in of subframe connectors (possible other strengthening)
Possible creation of full rollcage
I plan to have the project complete by the end of the year with the above modifications done in June.
Thanks in advance
-
where are you based mate?
-
It will go like hell but sound crap ,there is nothing like the sound of a v8 . How will under hood clearance go ,the late 6 turbo seems quite high . Sorry about the crape bit . :smile01:

Hi Griff,
Sorry, i have to update my profile. I'm located in Melbourne.
Hi GLENN 70,
I agree it won't sound like a true Mustang but... I also have a restored 66 coupe with a 302 and twin exhaust that'll scratch that itch if i need it.
I put the deposit down on my project base car today (picture attached) and pick it up later in the week. It is planned to become my daily driver as well as the occasional track day etc. I'm upgrading all running gear (coil over struts, 4x discs, 3 link rear, power rack etc etc) so it should be a real treat to drive.
Here is a video I found of someone who has already used this engine in a mustang. A really nice build job in my opinion and some of you might even know him (or he could be on this forum) 1TUF65 turbo 6 Mustang - first time in the 9s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8NdXG_t95U#ws)

I know it will fly ,it will be so much lighter than say a fg xr6t around 600lbs lighter .The stock fg xr6t autos can run around 12.8 @110 mph ,as 2 of my friends took them to willowbank drag strip and both ran those times and mph . 600lbs means 6ths faster and 6 mph ,without touching the engine . Would be much easier to run a c4 and hi stall ,as a turbo does not need low diff gears so no need for a overdrive .
-
I once had a late model XR6T and loved the ZF transmission. I have my mind set on having this configuration for fact that the car will also need to be a daily driver and be ready for the track also. It will be quick down the quarter, but not its sole aim.
Once built I plan to get it tuned and with the new exhaust, high flow fuel pump and injectors it should sit at 300rwkw.
Glenn, I think you meant 600kgs instead of lbs.... weight estimates are below.
* FG XR6 Turbo Falcon 1,733 kg (3,812lb)
* Mustang 66 Coupe 1200-1300kg (2,640 - 2,866lb)
I won't be modifying the engine apart from the minor changes listed above as I will be more than happy with this power to weight ratio. The mods will be focused on the suspension/brakes etc.
-
I think you will also find that the orange turbo 6 'stang is also LPG powered
-
Welcome aboard ! Sounds like a great project.
If you want a cage, then I think any place that does race cars will be able to do that and the other mods. If you watch Gasolene, Glenn had a roll cage put in his Falcon. Did nice work and Melb. Based I think. Check his website.
Cheers,
Frank.

Fit it with the six speed, great transmission and for an every day driver it will be perfect.
They would be the most underrated powertrain package,
Forget the old saying "you can't beat cubic inches" These things murder cubic inches.
Well mannered great fuel economy and super reliable.
Peter.

My Frankenstang has run an ED 4.0 & 4 speed auto for 10 years.
I can give you photos if you need.
The motor and box are coming out later this year so all the bits will be for sale for anyone who wants to do this conversion.
Watch your length in a 66.
I cant run a fan in the 68 as the motor is so long.

yep 600 kg , 66,mustangs are light and all this late model stuff is so heavy . Why i said a c4 an a hi stall is unless you get a fg turbo set up with the smaller turbo ,in a light mustang it will be harder to spool up . The fg turbos have tall diff gears good for the hwy ,but make the turbo spool up quicker and go .They make something like 550 nm of TQ ,std .

If you want plug and play type of re-enforcement, you cant go past the TCP subframe set up
http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/support/sub/PKG-SFC-01_AT.jpg (http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/support/sub/PKG-SFC-01_AT.jpg)
Im running it in K-OTIC and Im very impressed with how it holds the girl together and thats twin turbo and cracking 770Hp at the tread
(http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu176/MustangMayhem/MustangClarkeTT16_zps76a7aa63.jpg) (http://s645.photobucket.com/user/MustangMayhem/media/MustangClarkeTT16_zps76a7aa63.jpg.html)
As for engine mounts, Im running Ron morris adjustable mounts that helped in a big way to over come clearance issues, height and positioning the engine in the bay (forward or backward)
This is something that your going to have to fab up once you have fitted the engine and trans in place (test fit) as your obviously going to need a trans cross member made aswell. If your going to fab either of these up, make them both adjustable
If you need any pics or info on how I did mine and what I used to build it, there's a 7 page article coming out in Street Ford magazine in Australia in the next few days on page 42
(http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu176/MustangMayhem/399859_10201040706320762_998600896_n_zps0e838548.jpg) (http://s645.photobucket.com/user/MustangMayhem/media/399859_10201040706320762_998600896_n_zps0e838548.jpg.html)
I ran a Shelby R front nose cone and fitted the intercooler in the mouth and allthough some purists may hate it, it fits a treat and doesnt look to outa place. On the left hand side wheel arch (front) I fitted the trans cooler. Radiator I used a champion 67-69 3 core and cut away the indents/re-enforcements in the radiator support giving me another 3-4cm of room up front
I would test fit the lot before you start making mounts as scedd has posted his 6 in the picture above, you will be chasing room for cooling/fans
As for the build and engine combo...... :thumb: AWESOME. Shall watch this build with anticipation
I talked about doing a similar build 3 years ago but using a RB26 Twin turbo so this is kinda cool for me to watch the build
Keep us posted and maybe start a build thread
Matt
-
Thanks Matt, I will grab that issue and have a good read. I can't wait to get going with the build but the next two weeks will be all about finalizing plans and making the right decisions on the shopping list.
Just found this which helped me understand the Tcp subframe connector.

I think from memory that orange coupe has an AU motor, not the Barra.
I don't know what he has done with his shock towers either. But when I measured an AU motor and compared the engine bay 66 coupe, the BBM needed a further 40mm, off the top of my head, of clearance on the left tower. Perhaps the orange coupe is running an earlier intake, like the one that would be used in the engine bay that Scedd put a photo of.
I have a Territory driveline sitting on mey shed floor at the moment and later this week will have a BA driveline there as well once removed if you want any measurements. Intakes are the same on both but gearbox and sump clearances are different between the Territory and Falcon. All BA era's boxes I have at them moment too are 4 speeds, pretty sure the ZF is much bigger.

Yes Nicco, as soon as i sell the running gear it's game on! :-)

Should have watched the video :ouch:
That orange coupe has an aftermarket intake but still has a tower chop. I think it was Atomic doing those intakes?

You're not kidding Glenn, as you know I had a BF F6 followed by an FG F6 and those turbo sixes get up and boogie. So in a light 66 Mustang body that thing will haul arse.
-
I know pete ,an fg f6 is nearly as quick as my red 66 coupe . Looking forward to seeing this project done ,it will be one hell of a mustang .

Just a heads up ...the barra engine mount can be fit into the mustang but you can only use the top half of the mount and you will need to fabricate the lower section. A fella in NSW is currently building an XY with the barra engine and Ive been following his build on facebook to see how he over comes the little hick ups.
Theres a few pics of his build and how hes fitted the transmission and cut the tunnel...may help you/may not

There are lots of guys now putting these into E-series Falcons. I think there may be a couple in AU's now too. I'd be looking over the several Ford forums for their write-ups about how they got around the electrics and other things.
I not long ago sold an IRS diff to a guy with an EF who had a Typhoon motor and T56 box in it. He was running the standard PCM where lots of others go to an aftermarket ECU. Not 100% sure how he did it as he wasn't using the BA/BF BEM.
Another issue I know of is speedo pick-up. The Barra runs off one of the ABS pick-ups so no more gear drive unit in the gearbox extension housing. The only BA that didn't do this was some of the XL utes that were not optioned with ABS. They did use the earlier gear drive unit in the extension. The models that didn't, had the hole in the extension housing blanked off so you would have to get around this. This would definitely be the case with the ZF trans as this was not an option in XL's which only came out with 4 speed auto's or T5Z's. I'm not familiar with the ZF trans so it may not even have a position location in the extension housing?
If you don't want to run A/C, get an idler pulley also from the early XL utes that were not optioned with A/C.
-
very keen to watch this. pretty sure it will need tower mods as well as firewall from memory. The orange 6 is a melbourne car, it would be ideal to try and get in contact with the builder/owner and save the guess work

Keep in mind though the guy with the orange coupe is not using a Barra engine. The Barra is a lot larger than the AU.
Also as the FG was mentioned, it is different again with a reverse sump and plastic intake. It also has more integrated electronics compared to the BA/BF. Such as the cluster is now in the security circuitry, to the point where they are coded with the cars VIN.

yeh thats right ash. the throttle is also electronic to throw more spanners into it
-
The added size of the Barra will be the biggest drama. I have decided to go with a full double wishbone install with cross member and delete the shock towers. This will give me the width I need to use the stock intake and exhaust manifold/turbo... but it won't help much with the height.
I am about to order the running gear after finding a 2011 XR6T with 4,380kms. I will bundle with a BF engine sump, dipstick and oil pickup. If i run into issues with the sump shape I can then fit this to the FG engine etc.
The wiring will be challenging, however I have an auto electrician lined up who can wire it all to work as a stand alone system (with separate fuse box) as well as remove/flash to reset the security.
Good point about the electric throttle. I have no idea of how the fly by wire throttle system works. Any suggestions on how this will be incorporated? I will make sure i get the accelerator pedal and all other electrics etc.
I have a meeting with the fabricator of the orange mustang on Friday and will have a better idea of the total build then. Thanks again for all of your comments. If you find any threads that you think will help can you please post the link?
Cheers, Rob

If I am correct, the donor car came from Automobiles Dandenong ?
-
Hi Dad, Yes that's correct. I pick it up Sunday.
I just purchased the fg motor and box, I'm fully committed now!
:evilone:
-
Have you thought about a bonnet bulge or a 67 Shelby style bonnet scoop to help take care of height issues?
-
I have thought about and only got as far as a Google image search etc. I am unsure on the legalities but remember reading something about the scoop not being able to obstruct vision (at any seating position) of the road 11m ahead of the car. Does anyone know what the actual rules are?
In terms of a type of scoop/buldge, I hear the best way is to get a steel piece and have it welded in. Any thoughts? I did see this style, but the buldge would need to be more forward etc.

Does any know of anyone in Australia using the Roadster Shop's Fast Track IFS front suspension? If so were they able to get it engineered?

Looks like a cool project. If I were you I would get onto an engineer to discuss your ideas and get an idea as to what modifications will be easily approved. Have you found a workshop to put it together for you?
-
I haven't decided on a workshop yet. Does anyone have a contact, private or commercially based that you would recommend?
You are right about the engineer, I have made initial contact but will go back with more solid plans in the coming weeks.

A couple of pics of my BF Turbo 1966 Coupe project that I started mid last year.
Wrecked a low milage BF XR6 Turbo ute and kept the entire drive train and electrics.
Found a nice Six Cylinder T code coupe and started measuring.
You will find out as you go along crikeyrob why this is not a common conversion and info is lacking.
Spent last year converting the car to RHD, and moving the firewall back as far as possible.
First problem, the Barra motor's head overhangs the block both front and rear by a couple of inches so length in the engine bay is lacking.
Second problem, sump to steering clearance. Have a 65 with an RC Motorsports Mustang ll front end similar to Heidt's, and on offering various Barra sumps up to it soon showed that wasn't going to work.
Eventually used an RSS rack and strut kit that a Forum member that hadn't used it, and was offering it cheap and it should work.
Also added the strut notch kit for turbo clearance.
Gearbox will be an worked AOD machined to fit Dellows C4 to Falcon six bell housing.
That way the tunnel doesn't have to be altered.
Diff is allready in, cut down 500hp AU XR8 LSD Disc braked with 3.75 gears.
Have just mocked up a Hydroboost for the front 330mm Brembo brakes and am at present working out how to hide all the plumbing.
Unfortunately health has slowed me down but will slowly chip away at it.
Best of Luck, you will need it.

Hi Ausfox,
Your build looks good! Thanks for your really informative post. Its good to know im not the only crazy one trying this type of conversion. :cheers:
I am thinking along the same lines and will end up with the RRS gear (power rack, struts, notch kit, 3 link and brakes etc). I plan to change the oil sump from an fg to a ba to help with the engine clearance over the steering etc.
I haven't looked at the tunnel but I hope it all fits. Based on your post I'm not as confident as I used to be.
I would like to give you a call to discuss further. I'll send your a pm first.

Hi Guys,
It has been a couple of weeks since the latest update so I thought I would share the progress.
I have now decided on all fabricators and contacts required for the project;
* LHD to RHD booked in (Firewall to be moved back at the same time)
* Helix IFS "Corner Killer" organized (Removal of shock towers also)
* Engine Mounts, Tunnel Modification and mini tubed rear end organized
* Chassis stiffening organized (Rail connectors and torque boxes still need to be purchased. Best location to purchase from?)
* Wiring loom modification organized
* Diff center now received (9" Tru Trac with 3.2:1 ratio).
* BF XR6 Seats have been purchased and these will be re-trimmed along with the rear seats. (Thanks TimR67 for the idea)
I have started a shared image folder on Sky Drive and the link is below where images of the new diff centre can be found. That's all for now :thumb:

I'm about to do this install but with an XF, minus the turbo and with a T5.
Do you know how yours is getting wired up? Are you using the Ford PCM and flashing out the PATS or are you using an aftermarket ECU, or Ford PCM, BEM and key reader? I'm still trying to figure out how to wire mine but I have less to deal with with the manual gearbox and no ABS.
-
Hi Ash,
I am using a new digitally controlled ignition system fro (arrived earlier this week). It will be keyless entry and push button start.
The wiring loom will be modified to run as a standalone system. This will be completed by Killer Kustom Kables in QLD and will leave me with only 5 or so wires I need to link to the new ignition system mentioned above. I will have to flash the ECU and he knows a contact in Vic that can help me out.
Sounds like another great project!!
-
Hey Rob,
I'd like to do much the same with the stand alone PCM as like you said, there really is only a small handful of wires that are required.
I spoke to the engineer last week and he is happy to sign it off as long as I use the factory air intake, PCM and factory cats and mufflers. This means no aftermarket ECU's.
My local Ford guys are keen to help so they can learn what needs to be done too. So I have access to their WDS but so far it looks like we can't remove the PATS (Smartshield) with it. If I can't do this easily, I'll just keep the BEM and key reader in the system.
I will have to flash the ECU
Is that the factory ECU you are talking about or the Digital Guard Dawg?
-
Hey Ash,
Sounds like you have it all on track. I will have all factory bits on the engine and will fit them in easy now that the shock towers are gone.
I will still use the factory ECU with modified loom. The flashing will be required on the factory ECU. I have been told I should get this done at Bullet Performance in Victoria.
Hope this helps.
Rob
-
Ha, that's funny, Rob. I actually spoke to Bullet Performance today. They quoted me $395 to flash the PCM.
I spoke to a couple of others who I thought might be helpful and the answers I got were they don't do it or didn't know you could.
Appreciate your feedback though. I'm mainly doing this as I way of learning the components a bit further and to also sell the parts I have. I had it all there so thought I'd have a go myself.
I'm keen to see your progress. You're moving along quite well.
Cheers
-
Funny that! haha
I just received the nu-relic power windows today and the new wheels should be here this weekend.
I hope to have it rolling on its new front suspension in a couple of weeks. Next will be the install of the new shortened 9"diff followed by engine and gearbox mounts.
I will only speed up from here!
I will keep the updates coming.
Rob
-
Rob, this may or may not be useful to you. I found it recently and the guy has done a decent write up with a fair bit of wiring detail in an spreadsheet. Quite a bit of it will be irrelevant to you but something might be helpful. Worth a read anyway.

Update:
There has been a big break in between posts but its all systems go again.
I have sat down many nights lately designing the interior. As I am using BF falcon ute seats I needed to ensure whatever design I used on the front seats was consistently followed through to the rear seats. I have mocked it all up on paper and now it's upto the upholsterer to do his magic!! It will be a combination of black leather and black suede. I have also designed my own custom door cards and hope to have these finished within 5 weeks.
New parts :
* received stand alone wiring harness for the ford engine (with cruise control buttons that match the push button start)
* ordered autoworks aluminium drop tank

Hey Mate just looking at the pics of your front end are the upper arms what were supplied with the helix kit ?
Only asking cause they look different to what was supplied in mine have they been modifided ?
shane
-
Hi Shane,
These were from helix but have been modified to include adjusters. This will make adjusting the camber a lot easier.
Rob
-
Mate, who did you order the TMI headliner through? A local supplier?
-
I got it through CJ Pony parts on special. Due to its size it was a little expensive to ship but I think it'll be well worth it given the fact it can be installed after the windscreens etc. Very neat indeed.

VHX Dakota Digatal gauges arrived last week. Very neat and professionally finished unit. Photos updated on shared folder.

Front seats complete. They look amazing. Leather, suede and electric blue stitching.
Photos updated inc. new top wishbone. I hate this 150kb limit on posting images hence why all photos are held on the below site in high quality.

looks good rob, how do those seats compare in headroom height with the stock seats? will you have you to lower the seat pans to compensate if necessary?
cheers griff
-
Hi Griff,
They were falcon ute seats originally (BF I think). I'm using really low seat rails after seeing Heven67's installation. I have see a couple of others use this same combination and they looked good installed.
Roof clearance looked good when I mocked them up but I will also have a suede tmi headliner which gives additional roof clearance. I will post picks of the adapter plates and roof clearance once I get the car back from the workshop.
Rob
-
no worries rob, i find the issue with headroom for me is the low door opening and not the headlining. im either going to cut my pans down per the mustang monthly article from a few years ago or fit 69 sportsroof ones as theyre apparently 1" lower. 6'2" has its issues sometimes dammit...

Hi All,
The project is now going full steam with the engine and gearbox mounted, rear end in, sub frame connectors in etc etc.
I wanted to capture and share the details of my project in more detail and have just put together a website to cover all aspects of the build. This site will develop further as the build progresses but wanted to show you guys first.
Please visit: www.BoostedFord.com (http://www.BoostedFord.com)
I will keep providing updates through this thread as I go!
Have a great weekend.
-
Two Updates;
Rear interior quarters now complete & covered in leather. Photos at www.boostedford.com (http://www.boostedford.com)
Door cards are nearly finished, some updated shots of them can be seen on the site above.
Will let you know once the rear seats arrive.
-
Mate, i really dig what you did with the door cards! Where / what kind of leather have you used for them?
-
Tunnel is now finished and shifter mount complete.
Update can be seen at http://www.boostedford.com (http://www.boostedford.com)
Workshop will begin to mount the handbrake, fuelpump & fuel filter next week. I'll provide an update when these are complete.
-
DUDE! Really liking where you're going with your build!
Just about to order my TMI Headliner from CJPony parts. Have you installed yours yet?
-
Glad you like it Ronin! The suede on the roof is a close match to the suede being used on my seats & door trim.
I will install it once the car's painted. I reckon that'll be in early November. Doesn't look too hard in the video.
-
I love it too, cant wait to see it in the flesh.
-
ah right, I went with the black vinyl. Got it for a reasonable price too ( had a few cj gift cards saved up )
Don't think it'll be here for a few weeks at least though... :thud:
Looking forward to more updates!
-
mate, go the TMI headliner. Its AWESOME!!! makes a world of difference in the car. you'll love it! I'm running XR6 seats also, and it ties in perfectly plus giving more head room. :cheers:
-
Nice wok! Upload some pics if you can? Can't wait to see them.
-
Actual engine and gearbox now fitted! It's starting to take shape :-)
-
That looks cool, good work!! :thumb:
-
don't mind the different coloured visors etc, they'll be sorted out asap.
-
Looking good. Love the website.
-
Thanks boss69hogg!
I built it to capture the entire project in a clear way. I could have just posted updates & pics on a thread but it wouldn't have been in a neat or easy to navigate format. I plan to also upload a lot of videos later when the final car starts to come together. Main idea is to show newbies (like I was/am) all the components of a build and give some confidence / inspiration to take on their own.
-
I agree, great website
-
Build Site Updated: www.boostedford.com (https://audomain.wixsite.com/boostedford)

I agree

Thanks guys. I am really happy with how it's progressing now. I can see the finish line getting closer :-)
I will pass on your comments to the trimmer. He challenged certain parts of the design and took the extra time to ensure it looked consistent from front to back.
Build Website has now updated again: www.boostedford.com (https://audomain.wixsite.com/boostedford)
* Ultima D34 Battery Holder Installed In Boot
* Rollcage complete
* New Front Radiator Support Panel
Enjoy!
-
Build website now updated.
Drag wheels and new front valance purchased. Should have new radiator and exhaust completed within the fortnight. Will update once complete.
-
Just built center console with 3mm polycarbonate.
Once I test fit it then I will need to re-enforce, add timber sides and then have it wrapped in leather.

Enjoy!

The polycarbonate mockup served its job but I needed to make changes and move the design onto a 4mm aluminium panel. I designed it up in TurboCad and AG Holding laser cut and folded it for me. They are Braeside Vic and I would recommend them.
Small square plates will be welded to the underside of the console at a certain offset to the edge. These will then be tapped and allow me to bolt on the sides easily. Sides will be mdf covered in leather with countersunk stainless hex head bolts. Same design as my door cards linked here. http://www.boostedford.com/#!interior---door-cards/c1v0 (http://www.boostedford.com/#!interior---door-cards/c1v0)
I will provide an update as things progress further.

Looking good and that thing is going to FLY :thumb:
:agree: ... Not jealous at all of that motor!! :leaving:
I almost thought of putting a current model Falcon XR6 motor into my car while I'm still on Ps, for a couple of reasons, but I think I might get in trouble for having it in there as it would mean the car has been modified to increase the power of the factory engine.. And that was before I even considered the extra modifications just to fit it in there!
... Has anybody ever heard of a current model Mustang V6 being fitted to an old body?
Just as something different I think it would be interesting to see...
-
Center console is now wrapped in leather. Allowances were made in the designs for the leather so that everything fits nice and snug. All grommet holes cut in the firewall and the car is leaving tomorrow for panel and paint.

All major modifications are complete and the car has been moved to the panel beaters. Auto Passion will look after this for me but can't start it for a few months. It will be about 4 months until we start seeing progress but I'll post up the pics.

Wow! I've been thinking about this exact idea for a while now and decided to google about it yesterday!
Can't believe I stumbled across this build, your Mustang is going to be amazing Rob!
I can't seem to get your website working on my iPad. Have Auto Passion started painting yet?
It's amazing to read about this build now as its nearly completed, especially as it's been a couple of years in the making.
Can't wait to see the outcome, looking forward to more updates :D

Love the build.
The web site is great. keep it up, should drive like a rocket.

Hey all, it has been a while since my last update. The car is now moving ahead at a fast pace... but we needed to do some more extensive panel work to get everything perfect on the rear end. I am hoping to have it painted by October and assembly later this year. Big thanks to Vince @ AutoPassion for working his magic over the last 2 weeks

Looking good mate, bet you can't wait
Yep, can't wait to have it finished. Its been over 3 years since I started which is a long time not being behind the wheel. Everything has been test fitted on the car so it should be a quick assembly once paint is finished. :-) I really want it back on the road in 2016 for its 50th year.
-
Hi All,
As I await for the car to be painted I'm trying to plan out the final assembly so it goes as quickly and smoothly as possible. Taking the car apart was simple enough... but reassembly may be a little more delicate. I have all the mechanical and electrical sorted, but need assistance with the fiddly things. I'm based in the south east suburbs of Melbourne and would love any advice regarding the below items.
1) Polishing of all stainless trim
2) Re-installation of stainless trim on side windows
3) Installation and alignment of side windows
4) Installation and corking of both front and rear windscreens
5) Installation of stainless trim around windscreens and roof channel
Does anyone know of a reputable place that can complete the above items? I would hate to attempt these and damage the paint or not seal things properly.
On the flip side, who has completed this and how hard did you find it. Who you do it again or outsource to an expert?
Thanks in advance!
Rob

For the front and rear screens I'd highly recommend Pete from Pete's Prestige Windscreens 0418 333 703 Does really good work and deals with a lot of classics.
-
awesum job on the build, how's it coming along?
-
@On_Psi, thanks for the comments! :thumb:
The car is still at Auto Passion betting prepared for final paint. You can see the full blog/history on my website here www.boostedford.com.
This final stage is taking the longest, but i'm sure it'll be worthwhile. Right now, they're finishing off the gaps and are aiming to have it finished by late December so that I can start assembly over my Christmas break.
:burnout:
I have recently ordered a pair of custom door cards from TMI (Sport-R full door) and they'll be using the same blue thread as used in the rest of my interior. I should receive them soon :-) I am also working on a custom rocker cover for the Barra motor which will look AWESOME!
Woohoo!

Do you have a link to that? Tried looking it up & nothing there.

He must have sold it, as he had an ad up last night.
He makes them, so there will probably be another one listed soon.

Yeah I need a flat one with no holes as I am only running pins.

He makes them, so no holes shouldn't be an issue.

Engine and brakes installed! It's a great feeling to start seeing it come together :pepper:

That is awesome!!! A well thought out build all coming together

So I have been a little lazy with the updates, but a lot of progress has occurred over the last 14 months.
The car should be on the road by the end of April! It's been a long time coming (6 years).
