Thanks everyone, it soon will be seeing some good rust repairs! Cant wait to get a hold onto this project and get it moving faster! all comes down to money!

Got stuck into the VIP today and removed the Dash frame and heater box etc.

Haha, yeah I'm not sure if it would work if it was on the other side! I'd love to take the motor out and modify the K-Frame to centre the motor!

Bog anyone?

That is actually a factory offset v8 brake booster bracket. Since the aussie built cars are Right hand drive, to give clearance since the motor is off centre towards our drivers side. You dont need to offset your boosters as you have them on the other side.

Picked up this recently! Here is my effort today!

Quick Update, Have had the brakes all sorted, and motor back in and engine cleaned up a little.

Cheers for that!

This arrived today from the states! :D Not bad for $400 Landed when people over here want $800 to reco an original radiator!

Thanks, a bit of work in the rust to get fixed but it will be done properly and not dodgy fibreglass repairs like what has been done! Can you put up some photos of a set up already done like that? with the speakers etc.

Ok, so I have been working away on it slowly. Have a rebuilt 360, Alloy heads, 525 Lift Cam! Ripped out the interior basically and getting it re done! and looking at the rust.

Got an update on the thread and didn't realise how many replies in one morning I got! Hey, Im based in Brisbane (QLD) I prob wont be able to go down to Albury this year as I wont be able to afford the time off work. I have the VIP to sort out which I might just add.. And this is soon...
