Bloody rain! I’m glad it’s here but comes at the most inconvenient time, anyhow the donk is a neat fit, took a bit of giggling but it went smooth, tail shaft is ordered as are the front shocks, now for the exhaust.

Hi folks, been down the shed burning the midnight oil,
Exhaust is cut and tacked, just not sure if I will need resonators or just tail pipes.

Hi folks, Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year, just an update while I’m stalled with the chassis assembly waiting to complete the brakes and fuel systems.

Cheers, Mudgy

Thanks folks, yes I’m totally engrossed in it right now, few setbacks of late, I went to put oil on the tranny and the new B&M you brute oil pan has a pin hole in it and was dripping out at a rate of knots, I’ve tried contacting Holly cause they make B&M and as I expected no response, so at this stage the standard pan is back on and the tranny full, next can of worms is priming the oil system, it picked up oil pressure quick enough, cut a long story short I left an oil gallery plug off and that meant water pump and timing cover off so as to get access to the plug, then to further insult my ego the you beaut MSD dizzy need major mods to make it fit in its spot, not I’ve sorted that the front shockes had clearance issues and need tinkering. Today I had the day off and took the old mustang for a squirt up to Katoomba.

If it was easy everyone would be driving a hotrod.
Great to see you sticking to it and also enjoying the Muzzy.
