Ive tried to distress the seats a bit as this is supposed to be a used car.

PUt a kid of 7 in the car for 3 hours and you can distress the hell out of any internal vehicle. We had my nephews little one in the car not long back, crisps spilt juice I even found the little #### had even stuffed a liquorice all sort in the jack


Kids they have no respect ( and it takes ages to clean!!

Oh dear.


I'm guilty of clay barring the car on a regular basis.


It takes me 3 hours to propperly clean the car inside.


2 hours to wash it,


4 hours detailing


30 seconds of James and chloe in the back, coats, jumpers, toys, you name it it's like brick a back reject bin from the kids a&e waiting room at the local hospital.

It's a long day cleaning a car properly. One day on my paternity it's getting done before its service but the polishing can wait a bit longer.

The dash when I did mine was a complete nightmare, I got to point of binning it too. Decided to press on though as I had put all that effort into the engine and chassis etc, if you look at my dash I did it satin black where the ally is and dark grey for the rest of the dash. I stripped the bloody thing down three times before I was happy. I thought the seats would cause the most problems but how wrong was I!


I think the engine is one the most enjoyable part of the build...... so far!

Hi all well whilst doing some weathering on the engine bay I started to think all this work on the engine and engine bay and you wont see any of it when its finished so, I thought, what about an engine hoist and doing it with the engine being removed, now my question is would it be possible to remove the engine and gearbox complete or would I have to separate them (which would then mean making a flywheel and bell housing and the splined shaft for the gearbox, also what else would be removed to get the engine out, I assume the injection system?[ATTACH]133393[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133394[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133395[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133396[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133397[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133398[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133399[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133400[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133402[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]133409[/ATTACH]

Looking good Ken, the doors look fantastic. Keep going.


looking forward to seeing the Camaro.


Also, after watching an episode of fast and loud where they swapped an engine and transmission from a 2014 challenger to a 73 challenger the whole lot came out including the headers (exhaust manifolds). They disconnected the propshaft uni joint and the exhaust downpipes, drained the rad, disconnected the associated pipe work, undid the engine mounts and out it came.


Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, I will be doing it engine being removed.

Nice work on those doors mate keep it coming mines still in the box

Hi all, really not happy with this so I think I'm going to box it up and shelve it for a while, before I throw it at the wall, cant put my finger on whats turning me off it, I think its just the fact that nothing on it is really up to a standard I'm happy with, the paint job is not shiney enough the engine is really not one of my better weathering efforts (certainly not up to the bike standards) the door shuts lets face it are laughable and I've found out the doors open inside the wings not as I have them, it just all adds up to a piece of rubbish (yes it can all be rectified (fairly easily)) but the shine has gone off it for me and if I force myself to finish it I can see it taking a flying lesson.
