been a while since i have posted, couldnt find much time to get onto the computer with work and other things popping up.

basically everything in the engine bay is out except fuel and brake lines.
all the wiring has been sorted/planed until its ready for doing it (after painted).

guards and nose cone have been taken off. all holes welded up and the ac system in the fire wall welded up,
fuse box moved intot he glovebox area and the hole it went though welded up.
custom power steering resiour mount has been made and mounted on the fire wall near where the fuse box was.

i spent 16 hours this weekend of solid work on the bay and got the drivers side all smoothed and primed
still have the fire wall to go and passenger side to go.

should be done by the weekend if all is going right.


many hours of patience to get it right


and the out come, looks so much more complete with primer on:w00t:

cheers for the comment Brad, yer slowly its getting there.
its proberly only cost close to about $400 at a guess so far in buying supplys, so its really cheap to do it its just labour that kills the budget.

i would like to have it running the factory turbo set up by the time its on the road, but i reackon it wont happen and ill have to run NA till i can afford the set up.

when its turbo ill just run the standerd bottom end until it fails then build it :D.

hopefully just after the new year i will have a disc rear end and ill have funds for the hub adaptors to fit my vt front brakes.
so my brakes will be complete
-disc rear end
-vt disc and calipers on front
- got a brand new 1" master cylinder already
