haha.. frank.. cant you tell? no cat back on it... exhaust stops at the back of the cat...

awesome to see this frankenstein alive!...


There's a cat!? First i knew about that haha. Nah it's straight out of the extractors, the original exhaust is still there, just needs to be closed up between the extractors and the mid pipe.

Havn't been for a drive in it yet, but it's going on the dyno tomorrow to make sure the gearbox plays nice.

Having a bit of trouble getting the funds together for the final bill, didn't bank on it being that much, so i MAY have to pick it up next week instead, but we'll see.

yeh but obviously there must of been some bits that required buying in to complete the final result so of course the end bill is going to be higher it happens in every thing in every day life.

cant ask for much more than that matt nice cruiser with modern go under the hood.

That three grand is to join wires and make it all work, in short. I installed the engine and everything mechanical myself. That's not including the other four or so grand to buy the engine and related parts.

So all up it has cost around seven-ish grand.
