Hey guys
Well i got some good news yesterday, found out that i've got a job back over at the olympic dam mine in Roxby Downs SA and won't be driving the ss anymore so after C4C7 i'll be pulling it off the road. Hopefully i'll be here for C4C fingers crossed.
Well anyway, I'll be pulling the engine, box and diff out and starting from scratch.
I'm hoping to only have it off the road for 12 months back ready for C4C8. :)

Hopefully everything i'm gunna do will be mostly pain free as i'm planning on using a built crate engine and just adding bolt ons.
my budget is gunna be around 25k. should do a mean skid :)

So if all goes well it will be last seen at C4C. Can't wait to start :) :) :)

25k you could keep all the original gear and put a ls? engine in. more grunt, more reliable,more economical, just a thought maybe? all the best with your new job too..cheers.

I think you've fucked up already by having a budget, just pull it all and do it :)













(and to be responsible about this, i think buying a mortgage should be higher on your to do list than a blown pavtek stroker. but hey,what would i know.)
