Keen to see the pics, wife absolutely loves this car and she don't muck around when other cars try to blow her off at the lights.

Vicfreg , you are absolutely 100% correct . life is good in the garage at the moment.
On vinyl , Neil Young, CSN and Young, Eagles, Led ZEP , Creedence and a heap of Blues guitarist's and the volume is loud. Also Stevie Ray Vaughn.
The engine is back in it's home , just hooking everything up.

Would like to do that upgrade later down the track, my lead foot wife has enough power under the pedal at the moment.

It's a front grille support.

Well got my Remflex gaskets yesterday , so here we go again, got a new bottle of JD for spiritual guidance

Nice parts there, and yes they are pricey to get down here.
-
No sealer on the pump mounting bolts, changed the pump quad ring and converter oil seal and put a new bush in the pump housing.
Also had the converter pressure checked , all good.
Get my new Remflex header gaskets on Tuesday so i will start putting the engine and trans in during the week at night so i can drive it next weekend.
Got to psych myself up to do the job, uncle Jack Daniels is always there to help me.

Typical my luck, the leak was coming through the pump mounting bolts.
Trans is in good condition with no issues . Replaced front seal and quad ring ,bolt seal o rings and got the converter checked and i put a new front pump bush in '
Want to have it running again in 3 weeks , fingers crossed.

Nice work.

I wish Mal, parts arrive next week.
A couple of weeks and she will be a go.

Well, after driving the car for a little while i have a converter oil seal leak.
Only way to fix this is to remove the trans and change the oil seal , pump housing quad ring seal and the gasket .
I have hooker super comps on so out comes the engine and trans complete, including the hookers after spending a few hours unhooking everything out she comes.
Had it out in 45 minutes sitting on the floor with the help of my 15 yo daughter but i can tell you i am over it.
Going to check the valve stem oils seals also and a new inlet manifold gasket.

Thanks , i will check the square ring for size , i get wary of the seal kits as i don't know where they are made.

Getting new seals , pan gasket and filter, also i am going to change all the valve stem oil seals while engine is out.
One step forward and two steps back but it will be all good in the end, be off the road for a couple of weeks.
