    I wonder if anyone with an LS1-t56, and using John's Cars Inc mounts, has just removed/install the gearbox? I need to replace the clutch but figure the bellhousing might foul the transmission tunnel as I slide the gearbox off. When I built it I assembled the engine and gearbox and dropped the body over them. I've never separated the engine/gearbox whilst fitted to the car. Thanks. I've asked on Hybrid Z - if anyone still uses that?

    Bugger you Leon. I can't find anything negative to say.

    Peter. I'd never heard of the procedure before so I did a bit of research on that valve thing. Good luck mate, it looks promising.

    After three and a half years, and a rebuilt chassis, the body has emerged from under the house. https://postimg.cc/p5YzZ0GD https://postimg.cc/hJ6LPQQ7 https://postimg.cc/DJGqWf1p Can't rush these things.

    Acetone and auto transmission fluid is a home brew penetrating oil.

    You can make a puller yourself for <$10. Whatever you do, soak them in penetrating oil - acetone and auto fluid - for a few days before you try pressing or pulling them out.

    Yes, nice work, but please please DO NOT let your next post be: "Hey guys, how do you get the spindle pins out? - I've tried all the ham-fisted techniques I know and I've butchered the threads but I can't get them out"

    Sorry I missed that info.

    I’d suggest you have it media blasted and etch primed to see what is surface rust and what requires replacement. The process will reveal the actual good, bad and ugly. You’ll then know exactly how to proceed and eliminate the guesswork.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but a chap on here called George stated the same thing a few years ago. Each time he pops his head up it's shortly followed by tales of morning sickness! Still, there's always time in retirement. Good luck Gary.

    You're welcome to come and check out my engine-stand rotisserie and take measurements. I loaned it out once but never again! PM me if interested.

    Agree 100% with the previous comments regarding just knock the dents out of the floor. You can also make cover rails to go over the crushed ones. Remember there will be sealer sprayed underneath and sound-proofing, plus carpet on the floor. Too many folks dig themselves into deep holes with these project and it leads to some despair and project delays.

    MONARO TORANA reminds me of this car I came across at Wakefield Park a few weekends ago. I'm not really too sure what I make of it... Not my photos.

    I don't understand why you would need to reshape the new floors. Use butt welds. If you use lap joins you'll just encourage rust. I trimmed my new floors then laid them over the old ones and marked out a cut line. I cut the old floor out with a thin cut-off wheel in an angle grinder and snips. I then positioned the new floor and welded it in position. I then added new rails. I did it on a rotisserie but it shouldn't be any different welding from inside the cabin.

    I'm calling that... BS

    So many classics, of all descriptions, are lost in bushfires so I guess this time the losses will be significant. Here is one listed already.

    Funny you should make that comment. I was just talking to my gastroenterologist the other day and he explained exactly why we were called ‘old farts’.

    NATSOFT results to date look rather ominous for Leon and Tassie Mick. Hope it's nothing too serious chaps?

    That's not before my afternoon nap!

    Can you get an RMS UVP to drive it to Albury and a VicRoads UVP to drive it Wodonga to Melbourne?
