The cam will be playing a big part in the urban economy.

So it's been a while. There is stuff happening I'll put a post up when I get time

soooo. long time no update....

Cars not dead. i pulled it off the road a little over 12months ago now to clean up a few "ill do it later" jobs. repainting the engine bay was one of them. plus upgrading the gearbox to a tr6060 fg 6 speed. one for the extra strength and second for the bigger clutch.

now one thing at a time... the painting.....



i got it all smooth welded a ton of holes had a "spraypainter" come out and spray it and all was good. untill i needed to touch up the couple of bad spots.




so it was time to strip it back and start almost from scratch.

now im not a painter. i run a bicycle shop. but i painted it myself the second time and im happy with how it looks. its not anywhere near perfect but its pretty dam good.





Before and after


while its been parked also got a fresh cam


and some ceramic coating done


got around to putting my au upper arms in.


then at that stage, with the bay painted and car without a motor... i had to move house.

luckily i found a place around the corner so a flat tow latter....


store room!!


since having a better shhed ive been bitten with some motivation and things have been going faster.
got some new rotors and big brakes for the rear.

fronts
front pads

rear comparison


done


and same motor that came out just some extra bling....












time to put it back in










and thats how its sits now. still have loads of work to do. next is sorting the gearbox then its off for a new exhaust ecu tune and then after too long i can drive it again!

Love this thing! Good to see it back alive, look forward to seeing what's in store, keep it up.

PS. Engine bay is looking so good!

i'd like to see this on the skidpan again with the supercharger wine

All I can say is WOW thats really cool, did you make the manifold for the supercharger?

so some of you mat have seen it at Saturday Night Live on eastlink now its back together, and i must say im happy with how it has turned out. there are parts that will need attention when the motor comes out next time and i sort of expected that.

Dam that's tough and clean and mean looking

Now that gives a whole new meaning to the family wagon-thats so cool!!!!

Must must read entire thread from page 1 sometime
