A few more steps forward today - plenum on, 2200cc injectors in, waste gate plumbed, throttle body engaged, radiator plumbed, key sensors in and much more!

Also, we have a new tow pig with the 2001 Ford F150 Harley Davidson edition. Looking forward to putting a few kms on it in the coming weeks.

Getting close now!

Another day with a whole heap of small jobs ticked off. Done some upgrades in the battery box area, put on the exhaust manifold for the last time, sorted the turbo oil drain line, sorted the turbo oil line, mounted the screamer and much more. Another few steps closer to starting the new engine and getting it tuned 🤞.

Another short day and another step closer or two closer. We have rewired the alternator, replaced the front studs and halfway through the rear axles (broke attachments on slide hammer trying to remove a damage bearing chase). Sensors and missing fittings have arrived, in theory nothing else to order for the barra turbo XC falcon 🤞.

We are officially back on the car. We wired up the bosh 82mm throttle body (from fg), plumped the oil drain and oil feed lin to the turbo. We ticked off a heap of other small jobs. The new hoist worked wonders today... It will be hard to do it any other way 😂😂😂.

We also have ordered the last bunch of parts we need to get this thing running. Hoping the majority of things will be arrive by next week 🤞.

The hoist is up and operational! We can add hoist installers to our resume. It has been a learning experience, but we have gotten there. Our future selves will be thanking us. We will flag some roof modifications in the future, but we will get cracking in the meantime.

We have had full schedules recently, but still working towards the long term goal of getting the beast up and running with the big HP set up. Hoist install has been a big ball of fun. We have had to beef up the slab and have pre drilled the massive dyna bolts that go into the slab. We will probably have it operational next weekend 🤞. Still some work with trusses down the track, but they won't stop us ripping in and getting some use out of it.

Sorting the garage at the new place... Probably 90% there. Hopefully get a weekend on the car very soon to get the new combo up and running 🤞.

We are in the process of moving houses, to the Yarramundi area (3300m2 block and a 8x8 garage).

We had a ball moving the very unorganised garage to the new place. We moved the 3x barra engines across the new place, along with a mountain of other parts and tools.

We will officially be in by next weekend. Fun times ahead (**COUGH a hoist***).

We will be working on the car soon... Need to get the new built engine into the mighty XC

The new oil drip pan for the green machine! We did this... Because why not 🤣.

The modified bonnet is back on the car and looking like it's meant to be. The rear bar and front bars are back on. The new intercooler is mounted and looks invisible with a very light coat of black paint. Set to arrange the ceramic coating in the next week or so. We still need to purchase a few more parts before we can get the XC fired up and tuned.
