Started fitting the tunnel, brought some cleko's last summit order so I thought I would give them a go.

They made it a lot easier to trial fit the tunnel since I had it in and out about twenty times. After I had the tunnel neatly lapping

over the floor I started cutting 50mm at a time then tacking and hammer and dolly.

There may be a career in this transformation gig once your done. Let me be the first to get in line to order same conversion please :-)

I have owned multiple LH/LX Torana's and also multiple R33 Skylines - they are both(by a country mile) my favourite vehicles.

So if you feel you you would like do repeat the process once this one is complete - I'm here........admiring your talent and frankly great taste in cars :-)

Dean, I've had a couple of people contact me about doing the conversion for them but i'm to busy doing my own projects.

Bit more chopping.

Before fitting the rear section I made a 100mm dimple and then cut a 90mm hole in the centre.

Setting in place.

This is the reason for the hole.

All the tunnel is now welded in, also re-shaped the cross brace under the back seat that I cut out to fit over the new tunnel,

this will be welded in after the engineer does his next inspection. Also started the drivers side seat mounts.

Thought that was a joke haha, couldn't get a helper i guess.

God knows why! If I lived within 100km of this build I'd jump at the chance to be a helper. Although I doubt whether I'd be worthy enough to be in the same shed as this masterpiece.

Had the engineer look at it today, he was happy with what I have done so I finished welding in the seat mounts and the cross

brace under the back seat. Also sat the steering column, seat and centre console in to see how they looked.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
