Yeah apparently thats the whole lot.
Just bolt it up under the dash and pipe it up. You wont get the range of heating/cooling options with the vent control that you get with the factory setup. I think it would just be piped out the vents/demister all the time. Small price to pay to actually have a heater! Imagine all the extra goodies that could be fitted in place of the heater control panel.............................. You right but in the 20odd different X series Falcons I have owned not one has had both fully functional heating and cooling. My old XY had a good heater but the air con was left at the factory.

Excellent news matey, excellent news. You get to keep the white beast AND upgrade it - best of both worlds. Good luck with the transplant.....

Thanks RD.
Do you happen to have any EB metal brake lines for the rear over there in your spare parts shop? Just need to get some of them and the disc brake diff can go in. Oh yeah need to get the lokka as well...................

Dont like the 16 degrees the climate control gives you. Looks bloody good but. In relation to your question the other night my shifter appears to be alloy on the T5.

Should have one on the ED diff, I'll check tomorrow and let ya know.

I could just go to pick and scab but if you have one its an excuse to bring the Mav for a run and drink more of Rach's coffee!

Got the brake line out for ya, caliper to caliper including tee piece on top of the diff. We may be out at the hospital when/if you come over, it will be sitting on the driveway in front of the EB for you if that is the case.
Cheers RD

Well got a couple of things done yesterday afternoon and today.
Dont need this bit  This bit sucks a*** as well  Engine bay 30 seconds after motor come out. I dont think it had ever been degreased at all in its 17 years.  After a bit of a hit with some Kenco Shift It and Kaptain Karcher.  Still not clean but at least I can work in there without coming out looking like Karmal. Will be given a real good scrub up once all the dummy fits of the motor are done and everything is sorted prior to painting. s**t.Will I ever get it back together?  The clevo is just about ready to come out of the grey ute. Hopefully depending on what time I get home tomorrow afternoon I might be able to get it out and put it on the stand to do a couple of things and have room to chuck the old 4.1 in the grey ute to get it out from under my feet. Progress at last!

Motor come out of grey ute this afternoon and I put it straight on the stand so I had some room to move around.
Decided to remove the sump for a look see and to replace the oil pump as everyone knows Clevo oil pumps are s**t. Wound up with a burning question. EXCUSE ME SIR WHERE ARE MY OTHER 49 CUBES??????????????????? Yeah talk about bad luck. I swear if I feel into a barrel of tits I would come up sucking my thumb. Yes the number that make baby Jeus cry were right in front of me. 302. All good seeing as though after some wheeling and dealing the grey ute owes me nothing I really cant complain. Picked up a standard grind 351 crank and rods set this evening so all is good. I will button the motor back up , get it in running , sorted out and engineered then come home , pull it back out and build a good motor for it. I dont want to build a new motor and risk damaging it if the gas system or cooling system isnt right. Get all the little bugs sorted out. Plus it wont look the best if I rock up for engineering with a nice grumpy motor fitted................. So now I have to do some research and work out which way I will be heading with the new motor when its built. Do I go a standard rod 351 or use the 6" rods? I have both lots of bits here to do either. Oh well time to do some research.............................
