Here's B2



Formerly known as davenq's I think

Runs a 2.6 and a 5 speed, deleted balance shafts, 20thou over (0.50 on the tops), and some gh struts/brakes.

Plan is to throw her together and drive! Needs carpet (done and installed), and the head bolted up. A bit of crap to fix here and there, and on the road she goes! Nothing real special, and unfortunately, I can see this one getting a hard time (got my pretty one, need a thrasher now)

Nice one.
Keep an eye on 'em, those two get up to mischief.

took me a while, but I got it in the end

Got the head on, just done the bolts up firm. I need torque specs and sequences

Glad that you got this thing dude, not sire if it was davenq's, I thought his went down to Victoria or Sydney

Not sure...

But yea I'm glad I got it now the partner is still pissed.. But meh

Got the head on and torqued up, painted the rocker cover and Installed a few other bits (alternator, radiator etc).

Also put the last piece of exterior on the grille


Here's my purdy rocker cover paint was there, thought I'd do it


Just need to sort out the ignition timing and a few wires here and there. Find a top rad hose that'll work and hope to start from there

That's a neat lookin little ride you scored.
What is the body like?

cheers

Straight. Minus a dent on the rear left corner. And a small dent on the left front...

A plus side though? She has BOTH eyebrows! :O lol

There's a little bit of shity rust here and there. But really not too bad

Update!

Got her running and... Some dopey bugger mixed up a water hose to a vacuum port on intake runner #4 so she copped a belly full of water and spewed water out the gasket!

Hopefully no damage was done and all is well... The joys of finishing someone else's projects

...you know how some people 'can' do stuff but probably shouldn't?

Yep... Good fun..

So ARP head studs are on order, a new gasket, and some block off bungs.. Should all be sweet by the end of the week maybe next

Also, might end up running some pepperpots under it yet

Mine went to Brissie, don't know if this is it. I put new carpet in mine ,the dead give away would be scorp seats on galant runners.I had interior rear blind and was very original.

Nah found out its another members was dnvgalant's

Not much happening at the moment... Waiting for money got Mother's Day, mums birthday Tuesday, then my 22nd next Tuesday. Hoping to have her running again the end of next week (24th).

Meanwhile I've picked up 2 195/50r15 tyres, I've just gotta buy the 2 new ones (Falken ze912), and buy the wheels going with pepperpots

I've only gotta get a head gasket, a couple 3/8" block offs, and the ARP head studs to get her running again, should be easy throw in the radiator, bolt on the new rims/tyres, might make my new exhaust (bought a 12t pipe bender ;) ), and she can go for a roady

Sweet. Good luck it man...

Cheers mate

Goal is to have her ready for, or registered by the end of this month.

But we all know, you double thermite needed to reach the goal when dealing with a project

Ya not wrong. Just don't cut any corners to get there sooner. I've done that in the past and found I never got those cut corners finished.

Yea I started to cut corners with my good gb. Took a step back and slapped myself. That deserves more than that, so I bought this one the good one (or B1 ), is too pretty for a daily, not to mention the paint is that thick that it chips with the slightest bump

This one will satisfy my needs to have a galant registered, and also keep me from mistreating and cutting corners on B1

Pepperpots!


Will be wrapped up in 195s on Monday after a quick clean up

New wheels and tyres? Check

Arp head studs on their way! Head gasket tomorrow possibly??

Will most likely need lower springs up front (see in pic...), about 8-10" of gap and some unwanted positive camber. I don't think a 20kg head will change much... Might even need adjustable strut tops also... See how it goes

Also.... My logbook was approved!!!

Got some goodies today just waiting on the studs now

I GOT MAIL!


Tomorrow sounds promising

Someones gunna be busy for a bit...

For at least an hour or 3

Luverly

I'll just leave these here



New sticker


Then this happened


But all in all, she's running well

Still no exhaust gonna buy some 2.5" straight pipe and bend up my own

Better lay off the weet-bix when you get another rocker cover 75glnt B2 is lookin' good

It's all them horsepowers did that.

Apart from the exhaust, how much more till it's rego?

yep... May have been a factor

Not long guys... Got some lighting issues. Hopefully a parker bulb, and some headlights. While I'm at it I'm thinking I may as well throw in some h4 inserts instead of throwing good money at useless sealed beam

Then some tidying up here and there (undercoat patch for starters, then some light rust here and there, a skim of bog and a coat of paint). Will be getting some 35mm lowered front springs to even things up, gear shift boot, air cleaner (just a cheap shiny redline one maybe), and hopefully that's it

Quick tally so far of about $1k she owes me... Pretty cheap for a respectable daily

Also have a small but maybe unacheivable goal to have her ready by. The 11th of June. A mate is taking his car down the 1/4 and I wanna join him
