Well hey out there to all v8 lovers

Well this is my HQ premier Holden 1 tonner

[/IMG]This Ute is in project

IV recently pulled out the ‘253 v8

I have fully rebuild it with all the top brands nothing serious but just all that stage 1 stuff!!!

I would like something sticking out of the hood but I haven’t made up what I wont what do you think?

I’m looking for good cheap parts like extractors very cheap? And a 9inc diff?
Any 1 out there selling any of these parts cheap? And im looking for any thing that’s good to put on my my beast!!?

iv got all the gts grill which is the most evil thing on it!!! im geting it lowed at the front 2.5 inchs and a custom tray later on! and im going to go pick up a pair of new racing seats in a week or so.i have just brought a taco which is all digital which cost me $400 and getting more little ones later on wen the motors back in .as you can see the Engine bay is all masked of for spraying jet black.iv got it all macked out in side with racing gear and a massive sound system later on .im not draging this car its only for my daily driving and fun i will take the car out at the drags later on to see how fast she will go!!! all comments Appreciative !!!!!

is it arc or mig? if its arc u can get stainlees rods and then other rods that weld from stainless to mild steel. dnt know the exact price for materials but stainless tubing would be cheaper than angle or fillet, then score your timber slates from bunnings or sumthing, try get treated timber so it doesn't bow from weather conditions.
