That pink has damaged me for life and done nothing for your reputation...

Sorry TonyZ mentioned it is not pink.

But you looked anyway.

Once it is in will send some more pics. Just so excited and that good old "gat jeuk" is starting to get to me.

The problem with these things is you just cannot stop doing a bit here and there looking for something to add and looking for more ideas. Sure you all know that feeling.

Picture a bit pink but those tins are actually signal red same as rims

What cross member is mounted to your engine? That looks like one from a T3?

As in fit into the bus?

I can't see how those brackets will attach to a bay window.

Defnitely from a t25/t3 bus had one attached to my cu prefix type four engine that came from a t25

Well it is in and sitting pretty nice




Tony hope the colour is a bit better on this one

that is a bit better looking.
Now to make it look better, paint the coil black and its strap silver

No, there's definitely something wrong there. The engine looks as if it too high on the right and too low on the left. Is your gearbox and mount laying level? Your tinware surrounding the engine should be equally level with the sealing platform all around your engine bay.

Yeah TonyZ now your getting to see it better.

Thanks Sean will check it when i get the rest of the tins in. There are a couple of pieces I am still looking for will post in wanted I think herbie123 might have some

So guys getting closer and closer to the drivable state on this end. Will post some pics soon.

Just a bit of a rant from my end
So I met some forum members on this page and helped picking up some stuff for them sending it down getting it delivered and lending a general helping hand where I can assist.
A few days ago I just threw it out there that I am looking for a set lh / rh drive mirrors for Blue and even said I will take an old set that will have to be redone.
I am bit of a rush since we are so close and want to take Blue for roadworthy.
Three days later a new set arrives at postnet for me to pickup free mahala no charge. I even begged the sender to send me their banking details so I can transfer the postnet fee and they ignore me.

What do you do in such a case ? How do you thank somebody like that ?

Well I most certainly gave them a call and thanked them but still have to mention it and say....

THANK YOU!
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
