well this morning I made an unexpected deal on another piece of the wagons puzzle, so hopefully I can sell off some of the parts I have from the sedan so I can have the turbo kit fitted onto the car. Its a used kit with manifold, ct26 toyota turbo (early 90's gt4 celicas and early turbo supras) and dump pipe. My new misses' brother operates and owns his own shop where they build drift cars and do alot of work on imports and he is able to makeor find a better turbo to suit, but from what he said they can handle a bit of abuse and there are many unpgrades for the internals of the turbo

Ok well after not doing anything on the car over the weekend I got stuck into it early this morning with some 40 grit sand paper and also more bog, but only for the front end. I decided to make the fron bar moulds smooth to match the rear and also did some more work on the front flares. I know have the front gaurds fitting better with the front indicators then most EL's I have seen and I am also painfully close to having the whole kit ready for paint except for the fact I have run out of filler. So here are a few new pictures
     So if all goes well I will have enough filler to have al the prep work tomorrow along with my front adaptors so I can fit my 20's on |

Ok here are some daytime pictures that will show how far off the bodykit is from being finished. Over the next few weels I am going to take my time to get the kits completely smooth and ripple free

Ok. huggiebear, You wanna start crap get facts right and tell the whole truth. There are NO SPACERS on this car. It has 35mm billet alloy adaptors with genuine ford wheel studs fitted. As for lowering the car, if I wanted to drop it as much as you say I would would have then thrown my money away because the wagon would be as usefully as my sedan. The reason for the wagon was to have more room and be more practical and yes adding a body kit effects that a little, but atleast I can still go up any driveway or over any speed bump I want in the wagon even with the boot full and towing a big trailer
EFFalcon. I kinda agree with you on the rear bar but as I mentioned it will be getting more work done. You know when you try something one off it doesnt always work out. I am basically just try and square up the bottom lip to see if that helps as well as filling in the bottom edge of the center of the rear bar |

Thanks man. Comments like that make me want to see how far I can push the mods on the car. If I do something and fail, I fail but atleast tried and gave myself and other ideas on how to improve the idea. Unfortunately the people who try have to put up with crap from people who are just all talk. Also EFFalcon I would like to pick your brain about the gas and turbo setup you have as I dont want to pay to have the tickford gas reinstalled to then just replace stuff just to suit the turbo.
