A clear wrap over those lenses would probably be a good investment, the wrap self heals and protects the finish

'Decided to showcase the whole thing' definitely a good way to keep the progress pressure on!

Nah, I was a kid and just loved to drop in (on my bike) and check out the showroom. When you were showing the lights, bought back memories from back then. The old man had just picked up a Kingswood sw from them.

Hyqual in Queensland can re vacuum metallise the chroming on the reflectors for those looking for an option where aftermarket replacements aren't available.

G'day mate, iv restored a HZ premier, fitted a VT roller cam 304 with carby manifold etc amd turbo 700r, i found i needed to fit everything on firewall first, i have the same extractors, with factory AC and PS... and extractors clears everything. I had to run rubber hose for the auto oil cooler, easier to clear the extractors, i used a rod shop auto crossmember, plenty more to tell about my experience and photos of the finished engine bay? if you are interested, not on here😁

Good job on the headlights mate At first I thought you that you were going to butcher them. Extractors won't fit around that tranny cross member as it's not a turbo 350 cross member ,someone has just welded a plate on a Traumatic cross member that's also why your gear box mount wouldn't bolt up.

@BarnesysBuilds

Жыл бұрын

Yeah thanks, took a risk and it paid off with the headlight. Dam I knew the cross member looked a bit bodgey, I will order one of the rod shop then and sort that out. Thanks

Wait they drilled a hole in every extractor pipe?? Mate, they should've had their own set of extractors for dyno runs not just use yours like that. Is what it is now I suppose but still, welding up a brand new set is unnecessary. Ute's coming along great though, best Aussie resto content on here imo, showing basically everything you're doing is awesome to see

Thanks mate, yeah they drilled every pipe, I wasn't impressed either but was assured that was the best method. All good now though!

Thanks mate, yes so someone else said, I thought it looked a little home made, I will order one from rod shop I think with the bigger clearance. Thanks

Nice work Barnesy. The motor in my HZ sedan is really similar to yours. Solid cam 238/244 Great combo I highly recommend a further dyno tune once it’s all in, and basic return line if running an electric fuel pump. Chassis dyno tune aren’t expensive and sorted a lot out for mine, even though it was engine dyno’d too. Everything changes with weight of car, transmission and diff behind motor. Anyway all the best 👍 HZ Premier 355 kzread.info/dash/bejne/aq6X19t-o8_Og5M.html

save your money mate get the extractors ceramic coated i have been through all the heat proof painting of extractors tried them all even the kbs stuff they all just flaked off had them in and out 4 times did them twice with kbs after the first time they flaked they said i should have had them sand blasted so took them out again bought more paint had them sand blasted made no difference still fell off . i ended up getting mine ceramic coated in ceramic chrome they look great look a bit like stainless but dont diss colour like stainless extractors after all the time and effort and waste of money in paints and sand blasting trying to paint them i should have just got them ceramic coated in the first place you wont regret it
