More pics from the shoot to come, Once again thanks bucky.

Your welcome, but the shots don't do your car any justice. I can't wait to see the Street ford photo's.

Very nice mate, they suit it well. Love the dish in the rear

BlueKoop · 24-04-2010, 06:47 PM

Thanks mate, the dish is a nice 5inchs... due to the design of the rim its a inch bigger than the simmons...... apparently evey inch counts!

agony · 25-04-2010, 01:10 PM

Very nice looking wheels mate, love the rear dish. So many people fail to run deep dish wheels these days and it just doesnt look the same.

BlueKoop · 25-04-2010, 04:20 PM

Thanks heap Agony, Dish is a must on a coupe. I'm thinking of dropping the *** end down some more.... still thinking about it.

You know you want too...

They look awesome mate.

BlueKoop · 25-04-2010, 07:47 PM

Thanks Mike.... Yeah dropping the *** looks like the go. the rear tyres are a 35 series when they should be a 30 series, so it ended up lifting the *** a bit. I dont mind the extra sidewall tho, just need to recalibrate my speedo, which can get done on a dyno.

xdc351 · 27-04-2010, 08:28 PM

Those rims are horn mate! Great work...

mickyyyy · 27-04-2010, 09:45 PM

FDG 220 · 23-05-2010, 06:42 PM

Love your work, just read from start

I can only hope my rebuild comes out anywhere near as nice as yours

BlueKoop · 24-05-2010, 12:23 PM

Thanks TickXR. I will be watching to see how your XC turns out!

montyv8 · 24-05-2010, 02:30 PM

sweet pics Michael, rims look great

BlueKoop · 04-08-2010, 05:07 AM

I found some old pics at work that I had on disks.... These are from 2004..... An expensive year lol. I was 22 at the time.

Alot of Bog in this door from a slow accident my grandfather had in Adelaide. Has since been replaced, no bog anymore.

Fresh Paint!

Assembly... Under my parents carport lol.

First ever after paint and assembly drive

Doesn't seem all that long ago, but damn it was.

XA_GT351 · 05-08-2010, 08:01 PM

Mate love the new rims they suit it nicely!, it's great to look back and see the many stages of a build to the finished result.

cheers, Dazz

BlueKoop · 05-08-2010, 08:19 PM

Thanks heaps Dazz!!! I was stoked when I found the old pics, I thought they were long gone in the great hard drive crash of 2006.

I'm really happy with the wheels, and its good to have something different.

66FAIRLANE · 10-08-2010, 04:32 PM

That is a great lookin coupe, one of the best. Well done!

Thanks mate, much appreciated. I'm pulling the radiator today to get the spot where the thermo swicth screws in built up so it has a nice thick thread and stops the annoying leak I get. Also a good chance to clean the hell out of the engine bay, and get ready for the south coast nationals.

Geez Louise · 11-08-2010, 01:21 PM

Where abouts is your thermo switch seated? We have moved the one in the XB a couple of times now. Just curious as to where is the best place to actually have it. We have had a few dramas with ours.

Great looking coupe. I love it.

BlueKoop · 11-08-2010, 01:35 PM

Its here

Excuse the dirty bay....... got to get cleaning.

Exactly where my radiator guy recommended, and put it. The temp according to my mechanical guage is spot on for when the switch should set on and off.

Geez Louise · 11-08-2010, 01:39 PM

Thanks for posting the pic.

Exactly what I was looking for.

BlueKoop · 12-08-2010, 04:26 PM

OK radiator is out,

As you can see the bay is pretty dirty, alot of time will be spent polishing and cleaning.

BlueKoop · 16-08-2010, 12:37 PM

Scanned in some old school pics... This is right before being stripped for bodywork and paint.

Literally before pulling her apart:

Damn I wish I had a digi camera back then.
