Im going up the Gold Coast in mid February. I actually currently need a EB XR8 rubber tail picked up in Brisbane southside for me to get when Im up there.
Maybe something can be arranged by all parties.....................

When do you want to do the seat mods RD? My next couple of weekends are pretty full but we can most likely look at it soon.

I'll be set to go in about a week for the seat mount mods. I have my wifes EB to finish up in the next few days and Sunday/Monday the ED will roll into the back yard to be stripped. I'll ask my wife and kids to give me a hand again with stripping out the interior of the ED, they did a great job in the EL! So basically, any time after that, whenever you are ready. BTW, I am a stay at home Dad and now is school hols so I am pretty much home all the time (aside from taking the kids to stuff).

Ok, couple of questions for those in the know before I start my epic ED/EL transformation journey later this week.
First up, Climate Control sensors. I understand I need 2 - an ambient air sensor and a sun load sensor. As I go about trying to source these - what do they look like! I have no idea what I should be looking for!! Help! Next, K frame removal. I am guessing the main bolts/nuts are the 4 (or is it 6?) under the car. I know I need to disconnect/remove the sway bar, steering column and the upper end of the struts. It is just those pesky main bolts/nuts I am not sure of. Just checking as I see the nuts are spot welded on the top (engine bay) end and am hoping I do not need to break these spot welds. Oh and of course the engine will be removed beforehand. Can someone confirm that I am indeed looking at the right things. Thats it for now, the journey is close to beginning now and I am getting excited! Cheers RD

I'll be starting the extraction of the EL engine today - is there any differences I should look out for compared to EB-ED engines?
