Fitted the removable bonnet properly with an internal bonnet pull.Also added the front grille and surround, then my heater valve on head started leaking and clutch lost some pressure briefly, guessing needs bleeding again or low on fluid.

Merry Christmas everyone. Being on my own - no violins plz, I am quite happy - I sorted the vacuum pipes out on the 7 port Min. Under the bonnet now looks like a plumbers nightmare but hey ho. Popped down to the coach yard to see if my new radio will plug into the existing wiring - it won`t, bugger! Found the indicators don`t work either, hope it`s just a fuse.

Xmas wash time today.  Three months of road-grime all gone, The Blue thunder is back to a shiny beast again

Went to the depot today and sorted me indicators. To my surprise and delight it was just a fuse at fault. Took it for a spin round the block and noticed the poor little thing was choking. When I got back I took the air filter off and it was much better so got to raise the carb jet when I`ve bought the diddy spanner for the job.

Drove it today!!
 
The Mrs took the other toy out for a drive and we stopped for a photo shoot... heeheehee....
 

 
Fun Fun Fun.....
 
Cheers and Merry Christmas to you all!!!

what is the other car in that photo?

 
A damn awesome piece of Aussie History!  I believe that it's a LJ Holden Torana and I'd guess that has a 186 or 202 engine.

That's one of the two classic cars my wife wants to own herself. The other is an e-type, so I'd say the Torana has a much better chance of becoming reality!

You'll actually be able to drive the Torana and truth be told, having driven an E-type, you'll enjoy the Torana so much more too.

Went to the depot today and ran my blue bombshell up. When it had warmed up I raised the main jet a bit and she runs much sweeter now. While I was doing that I discovered that she had a stage one kit fitted - oops, I didn`t declare that 

[jamesmpi]

Pushed it out the garage and fired her up. Let her warm up and drove her back and forth to make sure clutch and brakes were working ok. Then put her up on axle stands using my new trolley jack to stop flat spotting the tyres.

swapped exhaust from a side to centre exit, then done exactly same as above.

When we got her, she had the full walnut pack fitted; unfortunately the door cappings had cracked and delaminated quite badly. Decided to strip it off this week. the walnut burr is glued to a wooden form underneath; the glue only comes off with a heat gun and takes forever. I noticed the wooded bit was also staring to delaminateand underneat that is aluminium. SO- stripped all back to the ally then cleaned up and voila! + a little carbon fibre wrap and patience,
