Hey guys, sorry its been so long since i have been active, i hope everyone is doing well.
I been moving house and changing jobs and time has just past me by as always

anyways heres a few progress shots for ya, should be complete by xmas
i got the 253 running, 4.44:1 diff ratio and fitted the 3spd auto
so hopefully she'll do a nice burnout reving hard, just gotta instail a rev limiter, as 253's like snaping rods above 5g's

See how i go, my new v8 is going into my xr8 next week, only managed to get the crank and new bearings in this week, but the rest of the work shouldn't take to long at all, should be on the road by then, if so count me in

Hey guys
heres an update for you on some progress
I finally got my v8 in the ute, just have to clean up a bit of the wiring ect now, auto is also now in the car
i have also painted the cab and inner gaurds
i went with tiger mica orange as it was donated to me by a mate at work (thanks to big kev)
the colour is amasing, it is metillic but it is hard to see in the photo's and light

just gotta save some money now for the hood lining and carpit and i will be able to fit up the interoiur and windows
