Got an update, block fixed and got the motor and gear box mounted in the car, unfortunately the holes for the gearbox mount is out by about 10mm either side so I'll have to take it to work and drill new holes with the hoist.
BUT before I can do that I have a few things to do:
Bolt in Radiator
Electrics.....New starter/alternator loom and other ancillaries
Install distributor and do timing
Bolt on inlet and exhaust manifolds
Hook up speedo cable
Sort out cooling system
Install fuel pump and wire up
Re-install deck/centre console
And then I think it's time to get it cranking.....Will have a video As soon as it's finished.
Another option is to replace the whole door card with a piece of mdf and layer another layer or so where the speakers go, then glue some vinyl or what ever to cover it.
Car looks good man, good to see other people are into the Coupes.

Did a helicoil in my block, easy to talk to over the phone and my Dad said he was a nice bloke.
Was $88, I don't know what other people think but I wasn't able to take the block anywhere so for him to come to me and do what was needed was awesome.
My auntie backed into my brother's 240z and put a dent behind the door, rest of it needs body work but this looks pretty bad.....good thing he's in Darwin for 3 weeks...Still :bash: :bash:
Hey guys had a really good turn out I reckon, have some pictures below......I aint no photographer so.....
Got some more but have to change the size of them first.
Yeah used a torque wrench but when I set it to 35 foot/pounds I was actually setting it to about 45, It was a fricken amateur mistake. What I should of done is slept on it and done it tomorrow morning, someone's suggested just tapping it to the next size up and fitting a different bolt but am a bit unsure about that.
