Added some ACL heatshield to protect the paint on the engine and the firewall.
Previously heat from the extractors has been a major issue, cant be too safe You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Finally got some motivation to spray a spare bonnet I had lying around.
Took it back to bare metal, etch primed, high filled and top coated. Cut back with 800g wet and dry then 1200g finishing with a buff with a foam pad and Meguires medium cut shop series. Attachment: SANY0334.jpg Attachment: SANY0336.jpg

Or can you get away with leaving anything else on? I gotta do mine soon its leaking like a siv Everything including dropping the sump. I found installing the timing cover too dificult with the water pump on, so it was removed untill afterwards as it fowls the TC. Mind you this was with the motor out of the car so doing it in the car would suck. I now have no AC system except the compressor so if I pull my radiator out and take the front bar off, there is a good view to the front of the motor for future repairs

So my neibour is a scrappy who allways has Commodores and the odd Falcon.
He picked this beauty up a few weeks ago and the guy only knows folks into holdens. 97 EL Futura Saphire 134000km in Gold/Cappa. Write off front into ditch and untouched from the doors back. Attachment: Capturefm.JPG Attachment: Capturefm1.JPG Came over a couple of days ago and offered, for $100 I could take what I wanted except Engine, G/Box Seats and Door Trims. So, I went to town, as anyone would have. Scored: Four Doors, Boot, Rear Bar, Under Bonnet Felt, Console Lid, Boot Carpet and just about anything else I could unbolt!!

Finally got me some Ghia Moulds!!
Gave them a quick spray and colour coded the strips in the centre. Chrome looks a little tired though. Does anyone have some tips to refresh it? You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Long time folks.
I still have the EF and still visit regularly. Just thought i'd share some new toys i've aquired recently. 2010 FG XR6 in Seduce with ZF 6 Speed Auto. Very nice car and a worthwhile investment: Attachment: car.jpg My other passion is fishing. Bought a Kayak a year or so ago and somehow ended up with this beast after that got boring. Its a 2013 Stacer 399 Proline Angler and Suzuki 30HP 2 Stroke with elec start. Its a purpose built estuary fishing tinny: Attachment: boat.JPG Attachment: Deck.JPG
