So time for another update!

got the car out of the shed to do some clean up, good opportunity for a photo in the sun

Got some brackets made up to fit the VT-VZ rear calipers, should work a treat

So with all the brakes sorted I thought it was time to get to mounting the VT-VZ booster/master, fits in pretty nicely, just waiting on a commodore pedal box to arrive to finish it off! ($37 delivered off ebay thankyou!)

Also got the shortened steering rack shafts back to re-assembled the rack and had a trial fit!

Steering geometry looks really good, just need to re-furbish a few parts and should be sorted!

Just need to mate the steering column to the rack and i'll be nearly done with the steering then too!

I'm in talks with McDonald Bros Racing about a few rear end bits so hopefully soon more progress

So jealous of your neat steering geometry...

[Holden202T]

Lol! Unlike you I had the benefit of deciding where mine went!

The sad thing is for drag racing ill probably never notice whereas yours you do!

Coming together nicely

[Holden202T]

Pretty much just need to secure the front off the pedal box to the dash and slightly bend the pedal then sorted!

Turbo fits
Will probably rotate the turbo to be more straight and thinking i'll most likely send the exhaust out the inner guard too, should help get the exhaust heat away from the inlet and help with under bonnet temps!

You need to take this to a Pre80/all holden day where we can watch all the FX/FJ tragics have aneurisms over the fact it's got a turbo on it.

[Holden202T]

hahahaha, I have a thread on fx/fj holden forum, some like it, others cringe that I cut it up

no matter what you do you will never please everyone .... and for me, I bought it with plans to race it, and it had already been butchered so we never going to be a perfect original so no stress I reckon

[firebug]

I would be telling the diehards a less truthful story. Something like I found an original rust free barn find car, tossed the old grey in a skip, and proceeded to take to it with an angle grinder...

[Holden202T]

Hahahaha!

[Jonno]

Hahahaha yes!!!

[Holden202T]

this arrived today, unfortunately there is a lot to do before i can use it!
