A Buick v6 in a rolla! That things gonna be quick. Someone I know has a little Chevy Vega with a Buick v6 and a 5 speed. It scoots down that drag strip.

hopefully if all goes to plan it, should be pretty decent.

 

 

got one side of the bonnet welded in(sorta)

first time welding with gassless.

sucks so bad.

 

 

will take it into work once ive got the other side in and weld it up properly.

Nice one, looks good man!

thanks man.

everyone likes photos so here are a couple more.

 

 

the back of the scoop has black mesh which isnt visable from the crappy light in the pic

 

poll for exhaust style is up.

add any ideas you have.

nice! good luck with the build :)

not to much of an update.

just slowly getting there.

we just sold our house so we will be moving soon so I'm waiting to for that before i start to tackle the engine and other bigger jobs

bonnet is almost done just needs more primer and sanding.

decided to chop the rear springs while i had it on stands this arvo seeing how wheel the 12 slotters i scored for $30 fit.

and painted the doors.

 

 

 

 

 

put an order in for my old mans cousin/uncle i dunno which one it is to build me a car trailer.

$2600 brandnew. can't complain with that.

can't remember the exact sizing i sent over but its gonna sit the rolla fair nice snug.

plus will have the option of side panels so i can use it for normal trailer duties aswell.

gonna take a week to build as soon as i give him payment.

damn keen

Shit yea I'm getting a trailer soon too hopefully, just gotta wait for my tax return, it's a tilt trailer so should make loading and unloading a bit easier

tilt would be awesome.

I'm just getting him to make the floor as low as possible for me so there is less angle getting the car off.

also thinking bout ordering a pair of these bad boys from grizzly importsfor the front.

i have plently of rims now for the rear

just want something decent for the fronts.

 

so i ordered a pair of the grizzly imports steelies for the front in 15x8.

ive got 3 sets of rims for the rear now in 13 14 and 15x6 so that covers me well for finding tyres.

bonnet is finished just needs a coat of paint.

picked up my 4 point harness for $40.

and chopped out my drivers seat mounts and started making the floor mount setup so my head has more clearance

being 6'5ft doesnt make things easy being an 80's jap fan

nice conversion, how did you go with your pedel box, and clutch cable, on my one i used the standard manual pedal box and commodore clutch cable,

should be good when its done, mine ran a 14.6 with 4.44 auto rear diff ratio and a shit launch, when i put the 3.7 diff in it i should get a high 13

havnt got to doing the clutch setup yet.

we are moving house so I'm waiting till then to tackle the gearbox and motor.

14.6 thats heaps better than i was expecting.
