Hey guys, it's Cleveland here. Dads a bit busy, and I thought I'd throw a few pics up of the old rolla. As it is I'm about to start assembling the race engine, and here's hoping it'll be done soon :D I reckon it looks alright now, I might go work on it :P

 

 

Looks alright I say, not bad, Stay tuned, I don't even know the paint scheme is yet :o (Dad wont tell me either)

The scout is either goin across aussie, or goin in a museum , either way should be a good story!......

Okey dokey always liked the swirl polished machined look so,.... took the dash/tailgate panel to dazza and whalla ,

backyard swirlpolishing in action folks..

Simply cut a scotchbrite pad to size and add to a heavy duty, wire wheel in the ol benchdrill, n be patient steady, and a little bit pi##@d,

hello dashboard!, then add gauges but thats easy eh!

also has the old skool hotrod look which we love too!..

FINISHED PRODUCT!!! just switches n shit to go...

lookin pretty flash i reckon total outlay for dash, $220 bucks inc gauges love it !

probly shoulda vacuumed the floor looks pretty ugly in pics lol!

More pikkies! rear bumper finished and fitted ( sorry purists but they were far too gone to rechrome em!) so they were

stripped panelbeated lightened and colorcoded....

How ya all goin with the bumpers bein bodycolor?

ENGINE WORK HAS BEGUN!! Cleaned up inlet manifold as much as possible, mainly just a little shortside work and cleaned out all the lovely casting marks.

The redline manifolds are pretty ordinary in the length department so were gonna run 25mm phenolic spacers to chase a little more airspeed,

seeing as we rev it hard fuel velocity is were its at...

Now its time for a little rebuild of the carbs n stuff..

Also still have the original 4 into 1 tuned length pacemaker extractors, these pipes are the early early pacemakers that were 1" 1/4 off the head,

really nice old retro pipes , helps our top end power too....

This really is the good bit after soooo much boriiing panelwork, woo hooo.

Manifold with spacers and softmounts fitted, picked up a ckeeky 1/2" i reckon mmm.

Nice work Fellas

Reckon those bumpers look alright, kinda works with overall look and flared guards.

Coming along pretty well .

Keep up the good work

 

hell yeah, can't wait for more engine pics etc, gets me exited haha

As long as those flares are nicely filled, I don't think anyone will pay much attention to the bumpers :)

Hey guys got a bit more done today, mainly the outside colorscheme, I know its quite brock like but sennas mclaren just doesnt have enough bodywork to make,

the old scgool marlboro paintscheme look good, imo ...also thinking of replacing the MARLBORO lettering with ROLLABRO seeing as the boy is half maori lol....

Originally it was supposed to be an AYRTON SENNA TRIBUTE but its kinda morphing into an early brockie,

ohh well the VB TO VK commies looked tough as anyway!!
