Wait... what might that be in my driveway?? - Project Time

Nice! Colour looks very cool too. Any pictures of the Bathurst Globes?

[static1800]

This is what they look like, not sure how they will look on a mk1... may be a bit to muscle carish

[Jarred]

The bathurst globes you're looking at wouldn't happen to be the ones on ebay would it? cause i'm considering globes as an option too if i can get them cheap, they remind me a bit of ATS classics (i think that's what they're called)

[static1800]

Yeh they do look similar to ATS classics, nah mine arnt off ebay a mate of mine has them on a beemer in his shed.

Just took the car for a drive down the street, feels good to be in a mk1 again

[rayray086]

You could go the Globes and refinish them in an "ATS Classics" theme (black face, polished accents)

Just spoke to my mate, the globes he has are 14 x 6 or 6.5, not sure what offset though.

^^ exactly what i was thinking Ray, he got them for free so could get them for a hundred bucks or something he said. They have about an inch of lip on them also so that would polish up nicely.

Im slowly swaying towards running my KR in this car on the Wolf ecu i have not 100% sure yet though. Im sure all you guys will want me to

[Jarred]

KR? Wolf? nah dont do that. put a 1600 in it. with a solex noose. and jack it up another 3 inches. that will be good.

Sod it, going to put the kr in it

[Jarred]

*crowd cheers* yay for KR, go all out, and put it on twin 45's...

p.s. I boughtsome globes, the other night, P/U friday hopefully, I'll post some pics when I get em!

Pretty sure im not going to keep the side strips, so won't need them anyways, was just curious.

What colour is the car? been trying to look it up.

Will have some more progres shots today with soem luck.

Guinea blue, thats the colour I believe, nice pick up!

Feel pretty gutted right now... just pulled the carpet and stuff up to find a world of rust in the pan. one big hole on the drivers side and another area that goes right through and lots of patchy crap on the passenger area. The passenger side was still soaking wet when i pulled it all up, drying it now with a heat light.

Will post some pics up soon, just stopping for dinner atm

Yeah, run the kr on carbs and leave the tank and lines alone

My motorsport mate can hook you up with an intake manifold, or watercut plate anyway.

lovin the sky blue, suits the car. the paint looks in good nic, hopefully it shines a bit more after a good polish. pity bout the rust in the foot wells. are the door rubbers all busted up?

ps. what drop is that on your mk2? looks sick.

Was thinking the Wolf ecu, got to deal with all this rust first though.

All the window rubbers are stuffed, boot and door rubbers look ok though.

the mk2 is 60/40 drop

Sucks to hear about the rust - I guess you would've had a gut feeling that it's gonna be there when you lifted the carpet off aye? Don't let it set you back though!
