The turds home now and all in colour thank goodness!
Been a slog but the worst is behind me now and I’ll start the enjoyable process soon, but having a couple of weeks off before I get going again!

Need to get my motor rebuild underway,
Absolutely zero chance of new main bearings so I’ll have to go ...

F Body’s are completely doubled roof design,
The front up rights don’t have a big section but there’s a lot of metal in them, most of which is 2mm U section
And there’s a full front and rear bridge, all round the glass

How one would survive a hard roll heaven knows
I certainly don’t want to find ...

So the Turds now in colour,
Actually looks pretty sharp,

Cheers Neil
I’ll take another look

I’ve spoken to King and they have no current plans for any production at this time ?

Rod bearings only
Could find no mains at 40 under ?

Hey son bugger me !!
I’ll have a look!!
Cheers

Finally getting some colour on the turd
Pleased with my colour choice,
I’ve gone for Porsche Grandprix White,
A late 70’s RS colour , absolutely spot on for GM Polar but a shade cleaner,
And more importantly reproducible, as it’s a catalog colour

The whole flat black under the hood on theses F body’s is a proper PITA , finally finished it today, so now just old school white !

His quote was virtually identical to summits
Which to be honest is good,
I guess for pure street use and general rumbling around a eagle or scat cast crank should be fine,
They are half the cost of a forged Jobbie,
But when one factors in a set of forged rods, pistons rings shells, balancing and ...

Thank you

Blue how do I find this fellow !
Detailed a bit more of the block today

And started to get some colour on the inner fenders
Tedious items as flat black one side and body colour on the other !

Hi Neil
Unfortunately my original crank is the tough N cast Jobbie and is in excellent shape,however it’s been cut 40 under and there’s just zero 40 over bearings available now,

Far Eastern Cast cranks have a bad reputation for being rubbish, it would seem a Forged one is one way of lessening
the ...

Yep a lot of hard work and a lot of hours !
Obviously it was my job and I was paid , but it was the water shed restoration that made me decide to get out !

Doing buses and coaches isn’t or wasn’t stressful!
There all 10 footers !

I’m over 1300 hours now on the FireTurd and actually enjoy the game ...
