then it would start to be something other than a "bunky"

...and we couldn't have that tongue.gif

mmm yeah coz fully operational CDL & 5 speed conversions are an essential part of any BUNKY aren't they?? blink.gif

would you like some peeled grapes too? maybe some caviar? wadesta/A10.gif

Xran- 01-27-2009

You can't take the grilles only, sorry.

There's a full set of door trims out of it if you want them instead though - they're sitting in the carport, just swing by and grab them whenever you want!

That's just mean dude... hahaha. Although I'm pretty sure Monty is an EF, not an EL as the title here states tongue.gif

...and you're not allowed to edit it either! Oh wait... yeah you can. wadesta/face.gif

foz- 01-28-2009
Let me know when you get back and I'll come over and have a rummage in your used bits. biggrin.gif

Xran- 01-29-2009
haha ok mate, no worries. Should be around the end of Feb I think, maybe early March. Either way I hope it's in time for the monster troocks haha!


Ok whats been done to the bunky -

*obviously all the re-wiring, new loom, battery etc
*T5 conversion in the back yard, gbox held to bellhousing with 3 bolts instead of 4 - winnarrrrr!
*door trims binned and changed for EF Fairmont - cheers Nick
*CLEANED!!!! My god you would not believe the crap in this thing when I got it.
*Pioneer MP3 head unit with 3.5mm AUX input jack in the front
*EF "Classic" rims
*new front speakers, $3.25 off eBay
*NF Fairlane Ghia bonnet
*leaking bootlid
*blown head gasket (recent, probably because of the hammering and t5 giving some limiter-loving wadesta/LOL.gif)

For a car that I bought for $100, that's not too bad at all I think smile.gif is a real shame about the head gasket, but hey it's the original cork one and the car is at 299,000kms so it's done alright!

Will be going a bit gentler on it for a while until the head can be done. Once that's been removed and reco'd (and the urge to fit a cam has been ignored... for now), the EF can come off the road properly and have the engine lifted for a freshen-up. Let the money start burning!!!

Xran- 05-09-2009
AU engine is installed and it's all running!

smooooooooooth as bru!!! Just need to put the bonnet back on (tomorrow's job), plug the washers in, put the rear seats back in, give it a quick wash and off we go.

Then time to make up the "FOR SALE" sign... gonna be sad to see it go after all the shit I've had to do to it haha.

Xran- 05-10-2009
Just took it for a run - Carl and Craig missed it by a few minutes haha.

It's mental now considering it's standard with a t5!! Probably out run the EF with Ticky head, 1636 cam and EMS sad.gif
