Was feeling quite nostaligic

YEah guys i was feeling quite nostalgic when this beast came along so its mine now, anyone with a nsr 1/4 cut???? the rest is some suspension and a good afternoon would have it on its feet, apart from that its heaps tidy. NG engine 2.3 5cyl brings back my apprenticeship days. I reckon it will be a goodie when finished. I need a NSR 1/4 cut as it is damaged ( not in piccie)

Looks alright that Jimmy.

I reckon dvr68u might cut a rear quarter off his audi garden gnome for a price

So when you gonna find time to stick a quarter on it Jimmy. Time is money......

Yeah too right Gavin mate im booked till Oct already (GREAT!!!) but hey i love these old girls man, and that engine is mighty strong. I have a couple of options for the 1/4 and the susp is a good days work and ill fit new bushes too.

Had another good look at the damage at the weekend and my panel beater mate is going to panel beat the 1/4 no worries, All i need now is the suspension bits and she will be a winner.
Keep yas posted.

any plans for this beast or just a daily?

[Jmac]

Plans so far is to have it as a general workhorse, a courtesy car perhaps, it really doesnt need much to be a goodie man, a really goods day will have it sitting nicley on all fours. 1/4 is getting fixed next weekend and susp as soon as so. Its been a while since i had one so who knows how excited i will get.

Ok the work starts on the NSR 1/4 tomorrow, been a busy month so only just getting round to putting a spanner at it. Have all the bits just not the time. So far not going the 1/4 and going to panel beat the 1/4 as all the gaps are really good. Car was misfiring and the guy said it had been doing that for months. Took off the plug lead resistor caps, all fixed!!!! Engine sounds good no tappet noise and doesnt hunt and for a KE Jet thats rare!!!!
Keep ya posted with some piccies

good to hear jimmy.

[Jmac]

Great progress with the beast this weekend. Now bear in mind the NSR 1/4 was mashed and looked borderline dressed cut to repair, all slapped into shape. Will be complete next weekend ( Slapper gave up the ghost) Getting a new one made out of a Bastard file and will be sweet. Tail light sitting in its place , just some fine tuning to go.Suspension all ready to go on!!!


Gaps are great
Keep yas posted

Looks pretty tidy so far. From the size of the worked area it must have been pretty bad.

Good stuff!
