I cut mine straight along the inside edges (intake manifold sides)
to stop heat getting trapped over the fuel rails & injectors.
Going to take the wheels in to Wheelworx tomorrow and see how much they want to restore them. I don't want to spend stupid money on them, but if they can restore them for a sensible price I will get them done whilst they have no tyres on them. As soon as that is done, will get some RE003's on them and on they go
And photos shortly after Pickles
Still Whatever, must be good aye!
Today's update:
Removed Turtle shell, wished immediately that I had not. What a mess those things hide, it was filthy under there. So off to supercheap for 100 cans of degreaser. Whilst I was there picked up 8 new plugs also. So long story short, plug and lead change and degreased engine bay. Found that pipe leading into PCV is totally severed in half, so another thing I need to source. Have just plugged the T/B port that it leads into for now. Also cleaned throttle body.
Went out the Peter Paige Holden and got the Lion badge, that is now on the tailgate and the Chev badge is where it belongs (not on my Holden). Whilst out North went to Commbits and got two mint black door speaker covers and a matching cup holder insert.
Have a mobile aircon guy coming tomorrow morning to look at the a/c.
Got a few quotes to get the wheels restored, range from $390 per wheel to $250 per wheel. Not sure if I want to spend that much on VU SS rims to be honest. Might even just get the two worst ones done and tolerate the other two as they are not that bad.
Sent enquiries to two motor trimmers on Saturday, no reply from either, must be super busy.
So not a bad days progress.

What do you need from a trimmer?
plenty of people doing them on facebook for $200 or under for a ute
If you can't find someone there is a guy at Blair Athol
who I can give you details if that helps
Got my Crewman done a few months ago for $150, I pulled it out which takes a bout ten mins, about 15mins to put it back in.
