not to bad mate coming alone well

how are you going to open the doors and put fuel in the car now lol ?

hmm.... how are you going to put fuel in it, i'm curious aswell :)

have a closer look at the doors they have old school style poppers , and the fuel will be filled behind the number plate thanks too a xf falcon number plate and fuel filler bracket

dope, numberplate fuel cap ftw!!!

Yeah its gonna be pretty wild it seems!

lol not wild really just different , oh matty my arm clears the poppers but don't know if your lanky beast will

drivers side is now straightish and in primer

got some pics of the donor motor , fully rebuit 2t-g :D

That looks clean, Phil!

 

Should be a pretty fun vehicle! I have one question. What year is the motor made? I think you may have rego trouble if the motor is older than the shell? I'm not sure exactly but it would be wise to check.

yeah I'm not sure what the go is there with mod or cert plates , if any one knows it would be helpful, its out of a 1973 ta22 gt

Maybe you should ring Rod (curly is his username). He has approval to mod plate many things, and would have first hand knowledge.

usually the older motor in a newer car applies if there were changes in pollution regulations.

 

If you use the older motor in a newer car, the motor has to comply with the pollution regulations corresponding to the vehicles compliance date.

 

Shit thing is, it doesnt work the other way (new motor still has to comply with pollution laws of today, even if going in a 30 year old car)

 

There are a few ways to get around it (none really legal) but yeah, you might have a bit of trouble doing it totally legit.
