Bloody awesome Josh... hmmm I didnt mind the exhaust..


Yea, they are good pics of the exhaust, it is nice, but it was sitting all wrong. It was tucked underneath and you couldn't see it standing up at the back of the car..like i didn't stick out even in line with the rear valance.

That exhaust looks meaty as.

MR Enforcer does some farken nice work! 8)

PS. The foams on your entry wings in the SE are rooted.
And what's up with the massive gear shifter box?


Yea Matt's works is great, top job on it.

Wtf are foams on the entry wings in the south east? :lol:

I like the gear shifter box :P It looks big in the pics, but it isn't really i don't think it could be any smaller as it forms to the shape of the gear shifter. It's either that, a rubber boot..which i hate or leave it open.

Looks great , is the shot of the boot an older one during fitting or are you running two fuel tanks for a reason ?


As Brad said the pics are current, just havn't removed the old tank yet. The whole boot will be getting cleaned up and i still have to put the shocks in.

Do you need a filler neck??? Can ya just open the bootand fill from there????
With the shifter. Could just make a nice centre console. Neat as and would cover the shifter box.


You can, but once i remove the old tank there will be a big hole in the side where it was. Which is why i am cutting up a tank to use the neck to fill the gap ;)

I have thought about putting a switchpanel in front of it, but have decided to keep it simple, they rarely turn out nice..

It's getting engineered this sat.

Just an idea ( you don't have to do it)
just an alternate ending for your filler neck problem:

I had the same problem and didn't like the dicky one in the Van so I cut it out and replaced it with a bike filler. I originally wanted a aeroplane style one from Revoloution Racegear but at $200 each, I decided to buy a bike one of ebay for like $20, polished the aluminium on it and it looks bling now.

can take a pic or two and send it to you if your interested

I was wondering about having a keyed switch or a keypad inside the dummy filler neck protected by a locking fuel cap for the alarm ...
