Best day of our lives since the project started today. :yes: :D

 

She's finally Club Registered !!! :D :D :D :D :D

 

Dad left work early, picked me up straight after school, went straight down to Vicroads in Broady, and got my Plates and Logbook. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

 

We screwed on the plates, slapped on the Rego Sticker, then went down to the BP Servo, put in $30 (20L) of Ultimate, bought some new L-Plates, and went for a cruise around Sunbury. :D

 

We also went up the end of the street, and got some more photos. Enjoy! :)

Cheers Justin. I love the sunroof. One of the best things in the car, besides the Holley 180. :)

I've been noticing this for a while. What's the go Justin?

 

 

Bit of an update.

 

Fitted an Electronic Fuel Pump we bought at Autobarn at CC&D Epping on Sunday. Got the hoses, tech-screwed the Pump on, clamped the hoses, neatly hid the hoses, and it run's a treat.

 

Only reason for this, is because the original mechanical pump wasn't feeding enough fuel into the Holley 180 at (only estimating) around 4000rpm. So this was the answer, and it works beautifully. :)

 

 

We also went around to poppa's house again, only to take a photo of an original Neville Lindsay's Sticker on the back window of his KE10, which we're gonna email to a sticker reproducer in Ballarat. (Cheers Ben-89 for the recommendation). :)

The day I got it (1085 days ago - 3 years in 10 days). :)

Great stuff guys. Looks amazing! Love the colour :yes:

 

You still got the jellybean rims? They would look sweet after a good polish and repaint. Would set it off nicely I reckon..

 

Keep at it.

 

Cheers

Cheers Chris. :y:

 

Yes, I still have them. Just sitting in the back shed. I've occasionally been thinking about polishing them up and painting the centres (PCD-area) black, and throw on new 195/60s for the Front, and new 215/60s for the rear. I reckon they might look good on this. Give it that more "Japanese Hot-Rod" look. :)

Yes sir!!! I don't have a job and am slowly turning into a insomniac so that my excuse :P, I've noticed you occasionally do the same not as much as me though

Today consisted of more cleaning and painting. :)

 

We got ourselves another diff for Ollie today. The one in it now is starting to leak, and dad reckons it has more slop in it than a St. Kilda special. :lol:

 

So we got the new diff in the garage and had a proper look at it. We took off the brake shoes to find dust, and a nest of bull-ants living and repopulating in the right shoe, and a spider in the left shoe. Then we opened up the housing to have a look at the crown, and then we drained the oil out of it, and put the housing back on. Then we got it outside with the gernie and degreaser, and blasted the daylights out of it, to make it clean.

 

 

We then got it up on some stands, and wiped it down with some Prepsol from dad's work.

 

Then dad gave it a hit with 2 coats of leftover Primer Grey from when we painted the car.

 

While the undercoat was drying, we got out some satin black, and painted the drum shoes, and the brake hose and lines.

After 2 coats of Acrylic AU Galaxy Blue dad got from his work as touch-up paint for Ollie, and leftover clear from painting the car:

 

 

We hope to fit it within the next week. :)

 

Cheers,

Woz & Josh :cool:
