small update the car by this time was in being painted

all my chrome engine bolts have arrived
my adjustable camber/caster top mounts have been deliveried im very happy with them

[higher1]

small update when i removed the engine and box i tried the turbo shaft for play and was happy with the way it felt, since then all ports throttle inlet etc have been covered up, i changed the cambelt and decided to inspect the turbo ive found 4 out of the 6 outer blades are bent ! something has been drawn in and damaged them in its life time.

I ordered a genuine turbo to replace this one i did try a ko4 but the pipe work would of fouled the driveshaft so i stuck with the ko3

[higher1]

so to update the rebuild was well under way at this time, there was just two weeks till the first show of the season!!
the paintwork is amazing heres a few shots



engine back in and running

So it was crunch time it was the thursday before the show it wasnt road worthy for the 400 mile round trip so i trailered the car to the show, but i had made it the car was good enough to show just 23 weeks after stripping the car it was rebuilt

small update

ive been smoothing out some small issues and tidying the car up one of which was fitting a new battery box in the rear





ive decided i need to go a little lower and to do this i need my front wheels to tuck so im changing the front brakes

at the moment the wilwood calipers need big spacers for the wheels to clear so im changing them

the adapters and discs arrived the other day
