looking forward to it! loved this car

Haven't updated in awhile so getting this thread up to speed. CA is out of engine bay with the SR pretty much ready to go in. SR is out of the wreck but needs a couple of things before I can start to put it in.

Unfortunately the car just takes ages to move around which is the most frustrating part, but its a start.






This throttle body is a concern as some shards may have made it past the butterfly valve



All the front suspension arms, hubs, power steer rack etc all swapped over. Most of the rear end done. Hubs, half shafts, suspension arms etc. Just needs solid subframe bushes swapped and diff!









Getting there! Aiming to be finished, with interior done, motor in and running by January 1st. I think I'm on track

[keimeier]

nice progress!

[Hughesy]

Very productive day yesterday. Feeling it a little more, my January target is looking good I think.




Old dash was much nicer, I really want to rig up the HUD though!








Redrilled and swapped over clutch master
Swapped over brake and clutch pedal assembly's
Swapped brake master because it was in better condition
Doors changed over
Dash changed over
Carpet and interior out of the old shell

I ran out of daylight, but remaining to do list looks like this;

Vacume out the new shell, lay the carpet in and bolt the seats up
Repaint cage and bolt in
Swap over brake lines and fuel tank
Bolt in diff
Bolt up guards, bonnet and change quater glass
Engine + gearbox
Change over ignition barrel
New Exhaust

Any tips on changing the ignition barrel? It looks like a pain!

[R&D Mechanical]

just change the steering colen, had the same problem in a 32 lol

[mild seven]

sorry to ask, but i always wondered, what happens when 2 cars crash on a race track... like insurance ? who pays ? whos at fault etc.

[keimeier]

lol you serious man all insurance is voided. both at fault and you pay for your own property!

[bones]

Every man for himself on the track

Ok so I haven't updated this in awhile. Here goes!

Bought a new car with parts I sold from the last one, so no longer building a car, just working on this one.





Has;

Front Mount
Tein Coilovers
Velo Bucket
S14 LCA's
5 Stud
1.5 Way LSD
Type X Blacktop
Button Clutch
Exhaust
18 inch VSXX
BN Kit
6 Point Rollcage

Pulled the ugly guards off and lowered. Tidied up the interior. Also purchased a twin core copper radiator and 25mm overs for the rear.





Decided to mount the intercooler underneath the radiator! Super short piping!





Cut guards getting ready for the 25mm widebody guards!





Piping for intercooler almost done, here's it tack welded and getting final measurements!





And also got a T28 with Section manifold to replace the stock gear!





All in all its coming along nicely and should hopefully be finished and on the road in a couple of weeks. Already has rego, I just need to change gearbox oil, fit the rear overs and it'll be ready for paint! I'll eventually be getting a hold of some wide front guards too.

The green colour's days are numbered.
