Chuck, I know your going to be jealous of this.

I just bought a aussie 1500 ign switch and the surround bits. I'm pretty sure i'll be able to make this ish work.

Not jealous.................I would like to have a complete Aussie Notch though!

You and me both, while we are dreaming...how about a aussie 1500 panel van, giggity.

So I got a lil busy on the notch today, fixed the e-brake and the exhaust leak. I'm proud to report the fugly notch is back on driver status...giggity!

I hillbillied the wrong lengthed ebrake cable and now it works awesome. While I was doing that the heater delete pipes that I ordered 2.5 weeks ago showed up. I had heard that fitment and QC were issues with these things so I had a junk head and 3lb hammer on standby to make them work. Trial fitted them on the junk head and they both fit like a glove, never needed the hammer. Eliot you'll like this...gave them a light coat of POR20 so they won't rust till I get them coated. Install was drama-free. Now my header hangs a cunt hair lower and to the back, fixed all my issues with apron clearance...exactly how I wanted it. The flanges are nice and thick, and the welds look good.

can you spot the exhaust leak?


bigger piping and almost equal length ftw!


some "trimming" of the engine tin was required

Looks Good!

nice work man

I took it out on a drive and let the auto-tuner do it's thing. Wow this thing is a great driver now. I shimmed my bowden tube, put oil shocks on the front, and the electrical is completely sorted. I am completely in love with this notch. I still a few big things in the works: aussie ignition switch, magnaflow muffler, 3.75" drop spindles, and rear shocks.

does the aussie ignition switch turn to the left instead of the normal american right turning ignition switch?
