Well its finally started-this should be good for a laugh ps., i personally dont think you need a more powerful car than the GX-your insane currently, why write yourself off?

Nice work Matt! Look forward to seeing it on the track............ How long until she is up and running do you think? Who is going to be doing the work for you?

haha yeah josh, ready for MV... 09 maybe. Carls want to start organizing now ?

Most of the mechanical transformation will be done by myself and Stace, I'm sure there will be input from the boys at ASG at some stage too. Wiring wise I'll get some help splicing the 2 looms. She's going to need a respray too, i'll try do the prep work myself but it'll eventually end up in BBK's shop.

Realistically 2 months till its driving, the swap isn't the hard bit, making all the BP5 suspension & wiring match the GC8 suspension and wiring. From what i can gather, this is a fairly unique swap. Personally i'd like to get it going and start setting up suspension ~2 months at least before Dutton, get out and get some track time.
