Hi JC,
It's been a roller coaster ride like most projects. It had it's low points (I re-routed the brakes twice completely to get it neat) and its high points (opening the taps on the dyno was especially good).
Some parts of the kit will take ages, as the parts will require mods to get them to fit up, the G-Force radiator and shroud is a good example - a 16 hour day spent on that alone. You will probably have far less grief than me as you have a complete motor and box by the looks of it. I took an old big block, got it rebuilt and then retro fitted an LPG injection system onto it. I now have a chronic shortage of real-estate under the bonnet.
The rack is a early commodore unit from memory (
VB/VC?), I don't think you'll need the power steering, I've got an extra 150 kg's on the front wheels and the steering isn't that heavy when you compare it with something like a WB ute!
I would suggest taking as many photos of other kits as possible, this became my build guide when all else failed.
Rob will provide you with a mass of knowledge, the trick is remembering it.
Cheers
