lol.........hopefully soon mate. Would love to see your car too in the flesh someday - you have so much dedication for that car.

Once the Ant-Eater is back in my garage I will in fact be doing some more restoration work myself so this project thread is far from finished ;)

They always are ;)

Do wish some of you guys were over here on the West coast, so many top builds happening over East that I'd love to check out in person :(

Nice! Getting done today or this week sometime?

Bumper looks great, I like that you left the inside of the vent dark. Contrasts well.

Getting tuned early this week :)

Yeah, the bumpers is really nice. When I spoke to the workshop they asked if that area (air vent to IC) was to be painted as its textured. I told no as I think that OEM bumpers come like that.

Indeed white and black looks sweet

Ants, glad to see it finally got pieced together and Sean got it. In the coming months I'll have to come past your place for that scotch and a chin wag... when I finish the Stag.

yes it's almost there. You are always welcome at my place sir ;)

Thinking the same for mine and I havent seen a 32 with a black front lip in nearly ever.

I just read this thread start to finish..... I bought the 33 for this purpose... and the rust posts make me cringe

Truly epic and I love the build . Im keen as to wrinkle paint my covers ... hard job ?

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
