Motor back in place mounted to new front end. . .geez that VZ sump certainly carries a lot further forward than the VE part. . .
Front end view shows very little space left for starter, power steering, air conditioning and did I mention the extractors? Oh, and then there's the radiator, air box and oil coolers. . .

Hiding the fuel filler. . .
Fuel filler is now located behind LHS tail-light as per the old Chevy units. . .
Dylan lining up his handy-work and check fitting the new filler housing behind the passenger-side tail-light. . .Dylan has just officially signed on as the new Hodgey's Hotrod and Custom's apprentice and he is already turning out fantastic work, just keeps losing bloody marking pens though. . .

Fitment of the new front-end. . .
New front end is now in place with new Nolathane bushings. Engine mounts will have to be replaced with raised units, the motor, when in place, was sitting about 30mm too low. . .Bugger
Articulating stucture of top and lower arms sits very nicely inside the wheel arches and with its coil-over shocks, makes for a very spectacular piece of engineering. . .hope it rides as well as it looks, hahaha. . .
VZ sump and engine mounts fitted up and looking the part. New VZ dip-stick and tube will have to be sourced also. Little things, it's always the bloody little things!
Shaved petrol filler, don't know where the term 'shaved' came from because there was no shaving going on, only cutting and welding?
Anyway, you will have to watch this space to find out what's in store for the fuel filler. . .
