hello guys, hope everyone had a good Christmas. Santa has been coming a lot the last 2 weeks but the last package turned up today, Cam driven water pump. I have now installed the fuel tanks so I can put the tops on the side pods and attach the radiator pontoons. I have fitted the 2 Alloy...

I stand corrected John, It appears the low "C" is only on the front of the M8Fs and the front and sides of the M20s. The earlier cars have the High "C". Leon

Looks amazing, I see he has gone back to the original header system you made, any particular reason for the change?

Bought oil coolers and Radiators and end up getting a M8F/M20 steering rack from Vintage engineering as well as the valve covers. The boxes have started to turn up on the courier now, 4 oil coolers and 2 radiators last week and a letter from NZ Customs wanting money so they will release my fuel...

WOW!!!! what a difference paint makes, that looks awesome. I'm starting on your uprights this week, done my last shift last night and was in the workshop today so its all go for 3 months and hopefully at the end I will have a paint job like that to show off. When are we going to see some track...

Hey guys, just a bit of news, I'm taking 3 months off work and going to work full time on the M20 to get it finished. It has been hanging around for so long now that if I don't bite the bullet and just do it I fear it will never get finished. I have had a lot of time working on other bits for...

Thanks John you are a bundle of joy, I'm going to get a time line for the axles today and I will work out the measurement for the other axles and let you know today so we can get them under way as well. Cheers Leon

That's just terrible, the problem with such a big place like the State's it can just vanish her in Little old NZ someone would know or see it somewhere.

Awesome work mate. any guesses as to what it will weigh when finished, this is a track car right. I see fans and have to ask now I'm thinking I have asked this before. I turned 59 the other day and think the Alzheimer's is setting in. Cheers Leon

Rod that is awfull news and I feel for you my friend. I often worry when strangers are around my workshop as it is in a factory with other businesses and you just never know who is looking at your stuff. I keep my doors closed. I hope you can recover most if not all your stuff and it doesn't...

A quick note, I will be offering 4, 5 and 6 pin drive axles, any PCD made from 7000 series Alloy for the front and rear. The rears will have The drive flange splined on and can be from 108mm to 127mm CV compatible. With 2.5" single nut. Cheers Leon

Hi Russell, A word of warning if you twin pipe your Toyota V8 it will sound awfull with a real poping sound. This I know from the off road guys, however Calper Trucks did a 8 into 1 exhaust that sounds Glorious, not sure what your looking at for a road car system. Cheers Leon

Very slow but there is progress. Trying to get the brakes sorted at the moment. will post some photos soon. Cheers Leon

Looks pretty sweat. The wheels look good, Can you give me the details for the guys that made them so I can price a set of shells. I'll be in Melbourne next month going to the Singapore GP pity I can't stop in Brizzy on the way home for a gander. Cheers mate.

Thanks guys for being so patient, I'll try not to disappoint my loyal followers, LOL Rod: I boxed up the front uprights today and will be doing the rears tomorrow so hopefully they will be shipped this week. sorry it took a little longer with the adapters having to be made. They look really good...

Well I'm back to working on the 20 at long last, I'm going to concentrate on getting a rolling chassis so bell house and wheels are the priority. I have pretty much everything I need to complete a roller, just need to put it all together. Have the water cutters doing the front engine plate then...

Hi John, How's the body doing?? Dazz was going to drop some $$ to you for the freight costs so we will just square it all up in one hit. A good friend of mine "Dean" will be in contact with you, he would like to come and have a look at your car some time so I gave him your contact info, he...

OK, that must be the "metric/imperial" difference from Chevy to Commodore stud pattern. Something to be aware of if you are using the 2 different types of hubs. Now that I only use the Commodore hubs for both front and rear it is not an issue.
