It wasn't entirely for the weight savings though. It's way too much effort to fix glass in place when the doors are completely gutted.

Well.. I’ll be installing a newborn seat in the 63 tonight, my wife and I welcomed our first child yesterday.

Well replaced the worn plates in my cam adjusters with stage 1 plates from 63Motorsports.
I did the Tasos pin flip a few ago just after I bought the car and until recently was quiet.
Then a few months back it started making the loud clacking sound as you started the car.
The wear on the 2 inlet plates was even worse than when I did the pin flip.
Wear on the exhaust was just starting to show.
First start up with the new plates and no funny noises from engine just the usual exhaust bark before settling into a nice smooth idle.
Got to run the plates in, in comfort mode only for next 1500klm then I can unleash and see how it feels.
Timing set up on R bank
Just about to fix second timing set on L bank
worn plates
Left inlet
Right inlet

Cwagon, your engine bay cleanliness looks like it's from a spanking new vehicle

Compliment graciously accepted.
Considering I have to work on my car outside in one of my building spare car spots as my garage is too small to work inside.
Same spot as where this photo was taken.

After treating my wife and myself to dinner out I came home did lots of back and leg relieving exercises.

Built me a alignment kit.
Just need to set my digital protractor on the vertical pin, to see camber and caster.
Toe in i use measure tapes to see difference to front and rear side of rims.

Filmed a cold start with the new exhaust setup, pretty loud setup. Only reved to 2k rpms because engine was cold.
