Skellington Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frknstn Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 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.

frknstn Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbr11k Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frknstn Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frknstn Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 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.

frknstn Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70+AE92 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frknstn Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 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.
