well i thought it was about time to let all know what im doing (not alot atm)

the whole thing started about 11 months ago on a sat morn looking foe an ae82 for a track car then lucky me thought id never find one ae86 popped up on twincam.org rang the dude up and yep still had it so poked around to his house in sunny baulkum hillls. he had planned to do it up for drift but lost interest thank f**k, $800, no engine 3 gear boxes and everthing else and not to much rust car trailer to my house and the fun began.

after a few weeks finished stripping the car sound dead out, wires, wind screen and windows all out. after alot of thinking and some (now poor advice from friends) i decided to get a jdm 16v c**t front from just jap (wouldnt go there now). Rubbed back engine bay sprayed gmh black looked pretty, then out of c**t front in to mi ae86 swapped strutts engine wires etc. hooked all up and bang timing belt snapped on the first crank broke one of the colets on the valves what a bitch. Even more of a bitch just jap didnt want to know about it so started pulling engine apart found crank pully was locktighted on(had to break it in the end) and just a big mess(stripped bolts total gay) took ages to pull engine apart with help of mate whos builds engine for detroit deisel. He then proceeded to rebuild the engine 40thou over size pistons poilished head(had to get a another one) but when it came time for cams the cam buider wouldnt build any as he said it was a waste of my money(thanks) so thought about 20v head on my block and wouldnt work. so mate put engine back to gether and i sold it to another mate for 1500 too easy for me and him . i had bought a silver 20v engine from ichiabn for 600 for the head and quad throttles but i am now rebuilding that.( well my mate is)

while all this stuffing around was happeniong the blue sprinter had been sprayed white in and out and black all under neath, with a satin black bonnet mirrors and grill and vertex copy kit to come.new discs and pads on front and shoes on rear. i had also mounted a surge tank in the rear with a lift pump under car, run a new fuel supply out of bundy tube and braided lines lots of work but looks good. bought some rims from ottomotto 15x7 and 15x7.5 rays mesh nice dish pulled them apart and getting centres powder coated satin black and the outers polish up pretty good too. looking for some 20mm wider front guards at the moment to accomadate the wheels as my guards are too nice to flare out.

the 20v so far comsists of wiseco forged pistons 20 thou over 11:1 comp (297.1 grams each) arp studs and bolts all round, clevite 77 engine bearings. i think crank and rods had been linished and all moving internals balanced fly and clutch yet to be balenced getting cams made in week or two. havnt decided on head gaskit yet might use thinner one to raise comp by .5 but not going crazy big cams so dont know yet ?????????????. i have sleepless nights thinking about driving it but i will be waiting a lot longer as i am only quater the way through anyway............... all ive been doing is working so tonights my night off and free from gf
enough blab if you even got this far ill put some pics up soon got a bit of 16v stuff for sale too posts up next week
