Cheers mate. I noticed your channel went quite for a little while. My issue is having to many projects. I'll watch your latest now actually 😎

[@kevinhamling1963]

G'day, You've come so far with this old girl. She's so close now. So, thanks for sharing the progress throughout the year it's been awesome. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.

Cheers mate. I'm pretty stoked with how it's coming along.

Hey Jase. Love your vids. Never met you but it's like catching up with an old mate. Your vids are just honest attempts at moving forward to get your dream on the road. That's what make them priceless. No BS or editing to cut any failures. One of the best channels I follow. Just keep being you mate. Assume I speak for many saying we love it.!! Merry Xmas brother.

[@jason35177]

Merry Christmas mate. Glad you enjoy the channel.. comments like inspire me to keep uploading more videos.

Jase your car is brilliant love the way it has come together, Towards the height of the car usually if you replace everything on the front end you don't tighten everything till all the weight is on the ground, only a suggestion. good to hear your going to drive this as much as you can. Nice car bud.

[@tonykluytmans5336]

The coupe is looking great. Merry Christmas Jase

Any Toledo tool I've owned was ridgey didge,,! Good Japanese quality. :] Best mechanical center punch :)

[@elitecol69]

Always looking forward to these videos, good work mate!

Jase I use the holley returnless in tank pump. I cut the hole in the top of the standard tank near the filler. It's got a short end and long end on the filter sock which I have pointed the long end towards the centre of the tank.

[@jason35177]

I bought the ace's version. I forgot to share it during this video. Will do next time. Holley versions do look the part and returnless is the go

[@paulholden7229]

Hi Jase. In regards to your fuel system setup, Here is mine. I have a Hq monaro with a Fitech fuel injection setup and have had it for 7 years or more with no issues from day 1. Instead of modifying my tank I just use the original fuel line and pump which feeds a fitech hyperfuel single pump and surge tank in my engine bay. I only had to run a fuel return line back to the tank.

[@jason35177]

That’s a good setup mate, my original fuel line is history unfortunately

[@damienBeelzebub]

Excellent Jas and yes they are easy to work on ...I just finally got my AC all installed and working BUT if you decide on AC the bolts for the ac bracket to the heads are slightly bigger than the other bolts water pump etc be aware,,

[@goz7569]

235s big paws up front. When it is lower the front might have to be rolled it might grab & bend the guards or slice the tyres!! Massive headway mad work Jase 🍻👌🏼

[@jodybaldwin4864]

There is a uni available to go from the 9inch uni to the BW diff too. Double check the offset of the rims too, I've run 235's on most of mine for years and have NEVER touched the UCA

[@jodybaldwin4864]

The depth is different between Auto and Manual starters. There was also a sandwich plate to fit auto starter into manuals cars

[@samsnelling5204]

That's it exactly Used to be able to get a spacer about 10 mill or so thick. Went onto the starter then onto bellhousing to suit manual conversions

[@pnr9730]

Looks good Jase. I got a 9 inch here off a 75 dent side F100 cheaper then you said. You would have to shorten it.

A fella i worked with used wheel spacers on the back of his built XD falcon. Sheared the wheel studs and unalived him.

[@jason35177]

That's scary!

[@callum898]

BA Falcon starter fits with a few mods. Very cheap high torque starter

[@jason35177]

Good to know, thanks.

[@CamboFord]

I'll grab some photos of the 15x8 with 235/60 and see how much clearance I've got. That looks strange what's happening to your front end.

[@jason35177]

I never expected this

[@GRIFF351]

you would think the clutch would come with the bolts they should have

[@jason35177]

Unreal ay. Make life easier
