some update pics of pinky

[Sammy]

well that's certainly looking pretty strong

im interested to know, the transmission dipstick tube, how long is it ? I would love one that reaches to the front of the firewall!

[phill]

I didn't think of extending dipstick to firewall, that would be cool.

NICE work John, would love to have a car hoist but was to scared to mention it to the wife when extending the shed.

im very lucky as my neighbour is a car nut and has a hoist  as far as getting a longer transmission dip stick there are plenty of flexible ones that mount on the firewall I went with the original in the end
the only problem with the engine cover is its akward to get out but it dosnt need to come off to often 

cover is double lined with dyno mat [inside and out with carpet over the top] cuts out heaps of sound and heat 

[Sammy]

yeah I am in the same boat, cover will come out reasonably easy but if just to check oil levels a firewall mounted one out be better what brand is it or where did you get it ?

lokar do them I think there are several others
