so i got in a did a bit over the x-mas brake. by a bit i dont mean to much.
but enough to say that im waiting on my battery to be delivered and all i need to do is hook up the battery terminals and put fluids in the engine and i can attempt to start it. :shock:

also did a 5 stud conversion front and rear, so i just need to get my wheels mad and i can put it on the ground.

battery in, turned the key wound over nicely, but the ECU didnt power up :(
gotta check a few wires and give it another go on the weekend. 8)

as disappointing as it may seem it was the total opposite :D much excitement. fingers crossed for powercruise

once we get the ECU powers up.
if all goes to plan (touch wood), all i need is x-member on the diff conversion finished off, put a few break lines on and bleed, and i should be able to drive it under its own power 8) (not far will need to see the dyno first)
oh, and have my wheels sorted. there being custom made in the UK, so i wont see them for about 8 weeks form date of order.

It has not.

Gene should sell it to me though. He has no love for OzGemini these days :(

I'm surprised to see an old member posting to! Whatever happened to the green thing?
