nah, local options were at least 2x the price. There's even cheaper options out there than this but i was after 60mm and default to closed with graduated opening. These were $175 shipped https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010257618075.html I tried finding valves to replicate the factory...

Another month and some more progress on many side quests! Say hello to my trusty standard issue Sherlock 100L wheelbarrow Few bits of leftover steel Few bits of scrap ply If you're interested in replicating this Wheelbarrow wheel & Throttle...

April update! Well it's been a busy few weeks of multiple projects! First up backyard: Seeds have been sowed and now sprouting. I went with a Tall fescue due to the shade. Poison for the broadleaf soon and a first cut. Wheelbarrow upgrades have arrived :devilish: More to come on that soon...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Too real 2 offers for swapping v6 commodores 1 Hilux - I thought they are the best most reliable Ute? Ba falcon turbo - tempting but cop bait Best swap offer so far was a Disco 2TD5 with a xl1000v - unfortunately discos are too tall for my garage.

Well it's been a wild few weeks and it's about to get even more hectic i bet :ROFLMAO: Vanity is coming along slowly, just fixing up some mistakes on the drawer fronts. The backyard has been neglected for a bit while i've been sorting some pieces for the bathroom. But a long weekend came up...

Happy to be devils advocate :ROFLMAO: T56's fit with lowered engine mounts in Stangs from what i understand.. T56 is about the same size as a BMW or Dodge 8HP70. BMW 8HP50 or Jag 8HP70s are even smaller.... And what if i told you.....a third pedal is possible :ROFLMAO...

Geoff have you considered an 8hp transmission for the stang? much more expensive and indepth swap. I've been considering it for the E36 to make it more driveable in traffic.

Welcome to Feb From a grainy sunset drive in the E36. Still had some problems with hot starts causing limp mode. I have a feeling it's the voltage dropping too much on starting and the throttle TPS freaks out. In other news the E36 stopped leaking oil from the diff.....:unsure: Maybe the...

Happy new year all It's been a busy two months, non stop as always. :oops: After my gutters were replaced, (i couldn't justify the extra few grand to get the fascia replaced) so time to whip out the paint brushes. I should have taken a before picture but the grey was previously a dirty shade...

November already, this year is moving way too fast 😂 Boys at GJ drivelines sorted me out with a new boot. Not sure why they were different before. Ended up not having to replace the CV, they gave it a little love with a grinder and finessed the cover back into shape. Started throwing it...

Welcome back to Spring in Melbourne! It's only been a month and a half since my last post but it feels like 3! I ended up not taking many progress shots of this but this is our main bathroom finally prepped for plaster. I must have started this in mid April, the layout has changed...

Wow this year is absolutely flying 😱 Starting to get warmer in Melbourne almost feels like spring is here early. Can't remember where i go to with the bike but it's painted, assembled and tested!! If anyone happens to meet the person that decided on all these standards: i-spec ev, b spec...

Alright time to finally fix this diff overflow problem This is a proflow coolant overflow bottole, cut in half and shortened to about 160mm high It has a tube on one of the fittings to handle overflow when it fills up. It didn't fit perfectly behind the mudguard so i ended up cutting a hole in...

Well it's been a busy few days to say the least... I realised my new engine no needed to be sighted sooner than thought....Wednesday is the day. You've gotta pick your battles sometimes so time to start with these wheels poking out.... Any porsche fans here? Welcome to RWB Eastern Melb...

Roadworthy list received 😅 - All indicator globes faded - RH stop light dim - Reverse lights not working - Headlight aim adjustment needed - Wheels/Tyres protrude out past guards - Wiper rubbers need replacing - Windscreen washer jets need re-aiming - Wiring on both sides of front bumper need...
