Last major job is the fitting of seat belts. I have no centre mounts so I have to fabricate a yoke to connevt to the chassis.
Plus a few small niggly jobs like fit rear mudguards, door opening restrainers, stripped wheel stud etc,
It's taken 3 years.

Wow! Great job!

In the pic of the engine bay, what are the two bolts through the top of the rocker cover?
They are not the norm on a red six!

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comVery, very nice. I'm envious. I didn't even get started on my IIA trayback.

They are not bolts but connection ports for the crankcase breather system.Originally Posted by mick88
The front one should have a hose that connects to a filtered air supply ie. inside air cleaner and the rear on has the PCV in it and then is connected to a port in the intake manifold. This system should have a sealed oil filler cap.
Earlier breather systems only had one port that was connected to the manifold and used the vented oil cap, and even earlier motors just had the vent hose directed towards the bottom of the engine bay.

It looks brilliant, all new looking and ready for another couple of decades of use. The motor looks nice with all the paint and new bits, is it the original engine and gearbox.

Looking fantastic - what a difference between the before and the now!
Inspiring - makes me want to keep working on mine.

Series3GT: It's the motor it was last registered with in Vic- a 186.
I'm OK with that ATM.
Originality?? Two ways to look at it:
1. OE is OE & I should strive down the track to go back to a 2.25.
2. Holden conversions are a well established part of OZ motoring history so it IS historically correct in this context. The conversion is a Johnson one so it's part of Geelong's motoring history as well.
If it serves my purpose (farm ute for a small acreage) well, I will not see any need to change the status quo.
