Umm, well the BA shifter in mine still isn't complete :P Gotta grab hold of a manual fascia sometime (change of plans for what I'm doing with the console) and Thanatos' gauge pod has given me a little idea ;)

Since January I've done/had done the following things (car was initially 100% stock):

65mm t/b and 70mm MAF
Pacemaker PH4000s + Twin 2.5" into single 3" exhaust
BA shifter mod
Superlows
BTR S5 mild shift kit (works awesome with BA shifter in SSS mode!)
EBII trip comp and c/c

I should've also had a set of GT40P heads fitted by now, and I have a set of Explorer manifolds sitting boxed up in the cellar...

Oh, I've got 3/4 of a thermofan setup at home, I just need to get some fuses and a 2nd relay, haha!

Unplanned mods:

Wombat-spec bodykit
Failed diff ratio change (3.27 --> 3.9 (for 10 minutes) --> 3.27) :alien2:

Future mods:

Respray
Pimp Tint
Fitting the damn EF GLi tape deck (still looking for some plugs!)
Vortech or KB (looooooong way off!) :Reverend: :Reverend: :Reverend:
Changing the diff for a COMPLETE 3.45 LSD diff sometime...

That's about it... Now back to working on my late assignment :

-Dave-

For the first time in history I believe this is a case where thread mining should not only be allowed, but encouraged! My progress so far:

BA shifter setup? Have had this sorted for quite some time now.

GT40P heads? Still in the cellar. Explorers? Fitted, semi-hobo style :Reverend:

Thermofans? Got AUs off Sunny, they worked until a sustained traction-loss issue. Still haven't fixed. Diagnosis is obvious though: my hobo wiring.

Respray - nup. Probably not for a long time either, i'm not fussed.
Pimp Tint - nup (but *possibly* near future)
Tape deck - yep <-- Karl, you have competition
Blowage - well, the car hasn't received any.
3.45 diff - nup, 4.11s instead. LSD is amazingly still tight.

OTHER MODS
Swapping amber indicators for clear indicators
Replacing stock side repeaters with WH Statesman repeaters
Replacing Superlows with Lows

FUTURE MODS (take II)

Hi-stall (next Wednesday!)
Rebuild the 302 - Summer (or purchase 2nd car and leave the EB as is for a while)
Rebuild of auto - probably mandatory by summer
Blowage - to go with rebuild. Most likely a CAPA (or equiv) setup for simplicity's sake.

Need to do something about my wheels/tyres too, I need >225s now. Not concerned with diameter, 15s are still fine by me :P

As for that late assignment, some things never change :thebirds:

[70caprigt3k]

The plans in no particular order:
Bilsteins all round
Edelbrock Performer 5.0L intake manifold
Rebuild with clevite 77 bearings, balanced bottom end, shot peened rods and felpro gaskets.

Rebuild and strenthen gearbox
alloy 2 peice tailshaft
rebuild diff with 3.7's
respray
new front lip and lip boot spoiler
nice engine dress up bits
Di Fillipo Stainless 4 into 1 1 7/8" Extractors

Paint all the faded plastic - not done but should be happening soon
17 or 18" rims - not done, still riding on turboblades

Well, that's pathetic efficiency. It took a year to change my indicators, and it's still stock

Well since 31/08/06, when I posted that:

Lowering - Done!
Clear Indicators - Were done then, so still Done now
new front speakers - Done!
Extractors and exhaust - Exhaust done, but not extractors
Paint all the faded plastic - painted the wiper surround. Not the rest though
17 or 18" rims - still not done, still riding on turboblades. I just want to get 16's for it now. It's not a show car, so it'll do.

Also, I did a couple of unplanned mods, including the T5 conversion, and changed a lot of the switchgear to EBII-ED items, so I guess I did quite well. Next mod will be the Scorcher bar. Just need to get it painted, then it will go on.

[Supa R00]

EF/EL Mirrors and door handles
Grey bumber and side molds painted poly green
