T3rrorbyt3 So have been busy on the amazon trying to get as much done before ozvolvo nationals. Stripped the bonnet and didn’t mind the look of it so clear coated it Painted the turbo and ran new braided lines Mounted up the stub tech torana 2”drop spindles with commodore brakes Stripped countless amounts of dead weight from the c30 looms and wrapped them in fresh Tessa tape Got the guards and nose cone soda blasted, etch primed,filled,painted and polished them Polished all the chrome and stainless on the front end Made up the intake box cover Got new 17x8 and 17x9 wheels and powder coated the front bar black also replaced all of the bar bolts and guard bolts with stainless dome hex head bolts I’m currently working on some other stuff like shortened borgWarner commodore diff with my 4link brackets, new custom Holden/Volvo ball joints, airbag suspension,some interior stuff and a stainless 3”down pipe so will post up photos of that stuff in the next few weeks:)
T3rrorbyt3 Vee_Que;c-142042 wroteCommodore diff? What happened to the 8.8? this was a lighter option opposed to the 8.8
timbo Billet axles are cheaper for the commodore diff (under $800 a pair) and the front now has commodore stud pattern so it was easier than using the 8.8. The brakes are sized better front to rear, and would be easier to engineer a complete commodore brake system, than a mismatched setup. Also we don't like the idea of C clip axles and C clip eliminators added to the cost of using the 8.8
Lexsmaz Amazing build there Fritz, very impressive work .. If possible could I ask you some questions about the immobiliser wiring for the C30 engine .. Regards .. Rob ..

Need to start a project thread on that PLEASE! :) I sure can when I start the project up again. Need to save some more $$ prior to the next phase.
T3rrorbyt3 JAMATRON This is an amazing build from start to finishThanks! Ha Tim’s correct it isn’t finished but it’s well past half way I have been working on it quite a bit lately so hopefully 2020 is the year that it’s finished.
JAMATRON i suppose a tru project is never finished but a hell of an engine install none the less, anybody know the bell housing used?
