My rig Guilty1

Hi all just joined this forum and thought I would start a thread about my rig.
Its a 2002 S2 VX R8 has had a cam package done, fuel system and a few other little bits a pieces currently makes around 280rwkws.
I have a new engine on the way in the form of a 383 stroker being built by a workshop down lonsdale way.

Heres a pic of the new LS6 block that I just finished deburring last weekend total of 15hrs work to get the insides nice and smooth to make the oil return to the sump a little better.


Will have more pics as the engine starts to come together.
Cheers Steve.

Hi Steve very nice looking ride you got there, So I gather the block you have been working on is going in your Clubby? Sweet ride keep us informed on your progress.

Very nice ride you got there, glad to see you are working on it yourself. Looking forward to updates on its progress



cheers

Thanks for the welcome guys, Yes the new 6.3 ltr or 383 is for the clubby. Its been a long a drawn out process to get to the stage Im at now (Most engine parts polished) and waiting on parts, but its starting to come together now.
I enjoy working on the parts of the car that I can and putting that bit of extra care into the areas that a payed mechanic wont do, saves some $ too so why not.
Some parts ready for the 383 that I have polished at home.




And the harrop 8 t-body Im currently working on.

yeps very nice m8,lots of hard work going on.luv the harrop
well done

wow that looks awsome great work on the polishing its good to be able to say i did that and feel great about your work well done

Nice polishing work matey......Ron will be jealous.......

you should hear the thing too......Awesome !!!!! and is going to be even better with the 383 in it

Very nice steve, but i think you got a little too much spare time on your hands lol

Thanks for comments guys, Yeah I try and do as much as I can myself.
Hi tom lol I get the same 24hrs in a day just like everyone else and by the time ive done 60hrs a week at work it is sometimes hard to push myself to do an hour or two here and there but its getting there slowly and then I start trade school in a few weeks time so will make it a bit harder to fit things in.
How you been anyway?
