Had a few days off work for a change so i have been flat out on the car. Accelerator pedal mounted ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/89.jpg) Stock v8 cable fits nicely ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/90.jpg) Finished off the shifter. Made a bracket to hang off some of the gearbox bolts ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/91.jpg) Engine out ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/92.jpg) Extended pickup. Its pretty rugged but thats all the pipe i could find lying around ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/93.jpg) The sump is pretty small. Its the biggest i could make it. 5mm off the steering, crossmember, suspension etc. I didnt want the bottom of the sump to stick out below the crossmember ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/88.jpg) ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/94.jpg) It looks like somebody has already had a go at the pickup at some stage in Japan, the drilled holes dont look original ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/95.jpg) Dipstick. Only place it would fit... ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/96.jpg) ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/97.jpg) VS V8 radiator from ebay. Hard to believe somebody in china could make this, send it to Vic, then to Qld, AND make money for $109 ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/98.jpg) Tomorrow radiator mounts maybe |

nearly finished the tunnel but have run out of gas. ![[ img ]](http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr67/fraz_bandit/99_zps14f8d422.jpg) just needs a bit of hammer work to tidy it up and weld the rear part on. filled the holes in the oil pickup as i want to only suck oil from the very bottom of the sump due to the small capacity no other photos at this stage. |

Loving this build. Said it before, but one thing I will give you nz guys is that you aren't afraid of actually modifying stuff by yourself without crying every time something doesn't fit and hoping someone has a solution off the shelf. With the bundy tube, any brake shop can usually supply it in lengths. I bought a 5/16's roll for my old mans car in 6 metres I think it was for $32. Motorsport connections will have anything you need, but also charge normal retail for it. |

When I look at this "Ironman" comes to mind just needs a bit of hammer work to tidy it up and weld the rear part on. filled the holes in the oil pickup as I want to only suck oil from the very bottom of the sump due to the small capacity no other photos at this stage.  It's a big tunnel, yes? What seats will it take in there? Lovely work, as usual, maaaaate!
