I've watched on and off since you started this. My favourite 70s car bar none. I still want one, and I'm near 61. One day I'll get one and do big line lock down the road.
G'day, It's great to see things are coming together. She's really looks the business. So thanks for sharing your progress man ✌️ Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.
Coming along nicely mate. I’d be interested to see how that fuel injection goes as I’m in the process of doing the same and was thinking of fitting a Holley sniper unit. Looking forward to the next update
Yeah the injection is going to be a fun project, will let you know how it goes! It's way cheaper than holley. The master kit is like $2,370 all up than aus customs stepped me with $460 tax.
Awesome Jase. I just bought a 1970 XW wagon 3.6 200 engine. Got it cheap. Bit of dancer in the Tail gate but overall a great find. I got a black block 351 4 speed TL and a XR turbo Ute diff so could add it the the project.
When I was about 14/5, a mate's big brother had an xa with a 351, twin 4 barrel holleys and a tunnel ram. He only drove it at night because at night, it wasn't as easy to see from distance, meaning he had a good chance of not being chased by the cops. This was pre mad Max, too. He also had a typical 70s custom panel van with a hot 308 and a go-kart steering wheel.
Coming along nice Jas. Met you at AFD in Eastern Creek a few years ago when mate his Silver XB Hardtop there. It has had some changes & repaint since. There is a big Carshow at Jamberoo on Sunday. We are taking Henry down hope ya can make it.
I remember you clearly. Was going to hit you up about that 351 decal the silver xb has. I haven't been to a AFD since. I want to go again soon but which car do I take lol, escort, and or xb haha. I not doing much atm, battling a virus. Will see you at the next AFD hopefully 😎
Had a bit of a bingle going down to the HTA at Mildura a few years ago. Reversed into concrete block at Petrol Station. Did a bit of damage to rear end. Because of the Metal Flake in paint was going to be to hard to match/blend in. So is just a Custom Silver now. Debadged. Removed scoops from Quater panels. No GS stripes or blackout on bonnet. Grille is Silver with Black mesh inserts. No Black on tail light panel. All Silver now. Looks like a sleek Silver Bullet.
Damn! That would've upset him. That custom flake paint was very nice. I regularly look at that car in my coupe collection pics. Keen to see it again sometime.I'll probably have a small new school stereo with reverse sensors, camera.
Top loader 💪💪💪 But all the highways up your way and with 3:55 rear, a world class T5 from an 6cyl EB- EL would be the go. can't lean on it as hard like a top loader though. EFI 👌 cold start spluttering will be a thing of the past. that aces master kit looks great for the price, had I known I would have got that instead of Sniper and Ice ign.
What did you seal the diff cover with. I just replaced mine with a paper gasket and it leaked straightaway and so I'm going to just use black RTV this weekend. I'm not going to use the paper gasket again. Do you think it'll be ok? Also are you running power steering? I'm going to try to find where to bolt the three clips to locate the lines. Apparently near our on the engine mounts??

Looks amazing mate, great progress, the big tyres and twelve slots will look good
Cheers! I'm excited to get the wheels on, It'll really make it stand out.

Same! They're just awesome
Jase, just that 302 on the back made this video worthy. Then you mention the Top-Loader!
Magic! Looking great!
Unreal coming along looking tuff!!!
next year you will be cruising the coupe around. 👌🏼🍻
Can't wait!
Looking good mate
She's taking shape fast now. Looking forward to seeing how you go with the EFI conversion - that'll pick you up a heap of views I reckon.
There's not many detailed videos on clevo efi. Should be good for the clevo boys for sure
Great update, good to see what you have been up to on the coupe.
Been waiting for the update. Thx heaps
Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice! Sounds like a cool project. Those xw wagons look sick when there done up

Those were the days, sounds like a wild time!
I've got that same rear end setup in my escort but from an AU2 wagon. It's great.
I have the same in my escort except its 75series with billet axles

I watched reviews on the efi kits available and this aces master kit is great value. Oh yes the toploader will be up for cleveland duties hehe
I’ve caught the same bug. Still getting over it.
Almost 3 weeks for me now. Frustrating
@@jason35177 2 weeks for me and antibiotics
@@jason35177 me too I’m on antibiotics bloody thing hangs on

I just use black RTV, no gasket on all my cars, I learned my lesson in the past hehe. I'm not running power steering at this stage
Just looks weird without the beefy 9" diff I am not a mechanic or engineer the rest of the coupe looks magnificent
She's only a falcon 500
