soon as it got off the truck i just had to take it for a spin couldnt wait any longer so i did a quick check over and started it up and let the bark of the 20b echo through shed. so in i got and started driving off down the road and MY GOD! it felt soo awesome finally being on the road again in it. it felt so good i didnt want to stop!! i just wanted to keep driving into the sunset with the huge smile on my face lol but it isnt completly finished yet so i turned around and headed home .. now currently in the shed working awayin this heat to try and finish off all the little bits and pieces that need to be done still with the huge smile on my face!
quick question: what brakes are you running?

i apologies for the late reply but thanks everyone for the comments much appreciated !
i will be on here fair bit from more now
thanks man! love how it turned out always put a smile on my face when i go to the garage..
the brakes are AP racing fronts and k-sport rears
update:
well like usual soon as i get my car home work sends me off for work for a couple of weeks :evil:
Anyways while i was away i organised a bit of a get-together with a couple of mates to lend a hand and generally talk **** lol also to get the guards rolled..
the guys from sydney guard rolling to came out and did a great job rolling my rear guards a little and to roll the front gaurds on a family members big block torana..
Even shouted my mates a huge pub feed and drinks all day to say thanks.
we got fair bit done which was good considering it was pretty hot day
finally installed the headlight covers which came up really good with all new black screws ..
i absolutely love the look of pop ups cant put my finger on why but ..
screams 80/90s
i know not many people are a fan of them and try differnet setups but never looks right to me..
only thing left to do is
* wait til the diffuser comes back and
two flat pieces of carbon which i will use to cover where the original radio section and rear battery compartment.
*fit amber lenses to front blinkers when they arrive.
*fit new bonnet cable..(the locating platic tab on the old one has broke over time)
got a pretty cool shoot coming up thats been organised through a few photographers
which im super excited about..
also while away KUPOI off another forum got intouch with me through facebook sent me a link to a few pics he took of the car at WORLD TIME ATTACK last year
i will be on here fair bit from more now
this, right here, is what we all do this for. this is what it's all about and while you're still getting it together, it's really good to read that you're smiling and enjoying this beautiful creation of yours. beauty and brutality ... awesome combination!

well its been a while since ive updated
ive been busy working and saving $$
but managed to take car out a bit here an there...
anyways i had a bit of a idea thats been stewing in the back of my head for a while and finally bit the bullet ..
i plan on making a custom carbon cold air intake system. cause never a fan of a filter just siting there..
i checked my car over and over again an it is very do-able but found no information on other people doing it was found
so i began making templates and moulds
but here"s the basics off it
the position it will sit
roughly what it would look like
more detailed pictures in the next week or two
