Picked this up for $300 a while back, had a Crown half cut sitting here so this is the way things turned out haha

Thanks to Ben for mounting it all for me, now the mission of getting it running haha
Heres some pics Ben has sent me, ill snap a pic of the gbox mount sometime next week.
I hope to have this driving sometime early next year so I have to get stuck into this one :dunno

Things still needed to be done are:
Gbox tunnel welded back in.
Exhaust headers modified slightly.
Shorten chassis.
Tailshaft mods.
Wiring.
Attatch radiator support.
Front wheel tubs.
Mount radiator, oil cooler and thermo fans.

You don't get them in OZ? I thought you guys got all the same stuff as us Kiwi's?
They go pretty hard in factory form, but once you put twin turbo's on them they go HARD!!!

TWIN TURBO???? Good lord I am moving. Is that like an elementary school requirement down there? Boosting 101, Motor mods 2nd period, and Balls to the walls horsepower in a sleeper car 1250? Geesh! I love it.
