its been on the road for the last 2 months serving as my daily transport it drives nothing like the hr you would expect this goes stops and turns without making you seasick and with the windows up is quite pleasant to cruise even with the straight through mufflers ( gotta love new weather seals )

I'll get some tomorrow it is all stock holden with the bench front just some new carpet as the old rubber mat fell apart when I went to move it still column drive as well . I actually chose those rims as in my opinion it "matches" the roof and it keeps with the theme of updating an old car & I love fat rear tyres can actually move up to a 315 rear as when I calculated all my rear spacing I played it safe with the 285's

Hey Nick, Awesome, beautiful conversion. Are you using the stock front end? What about using 164 Volvo 15" rims or HK rims. Absolutely magic job brother.

Good Old Uncle Fred: That is what I thought I knew he had a mechanical ie speedo cable setup so that is what I was asking is this normal to short shift as Glens ute works fine with with no speed signal . Still runs cool haven't changed to the bigger radiator yet or setup the new fan controller ( BTW thanks for the machining of the bleed bolt )
Peter: HR front end Torana rack XD falcon Springs Koni adjustables 28mm sway bar It is commodore stud pattern and needs a minimum of 16" rims due to the front rotor size.
Chris: Thanks for the kind words
So we have a car that runs fine without a speedo signal which I knew so is it a valve body thing then.
