Not a bad interior

so it went from that old red to getting painted in a custom blue mess 2 pack paint.
complete with a full scorcher kit and xr front


also got some nolathane coil over so that i could get it sitting all good


once i had got it all painted the 18's looked to small so i lashed out and got myself a set of 20's that set it all off great



now i had it all looking the goods but still had a EB 4ltr under the hood with not a great deal of power so that was to be the next thing on the hit list.. now when i painted the car i didn't do the engine bay so that what i have had done just 2 weeks ago.
so i have been tidying up wiring where i can and getting bits ready for the turbo engine that is to come.
so i have got a engine being built by atomic performance in sydney, they are building me an AU 660kw engine, to be paired with that i have got an hi flowed garret turbo rated to 800hp.






heres another thing that i have been working on, didn't know where to put my boost/air-fuel/oil pressure meter so i made a custom gauge holder

got a new steering wheel why its been sitting in the shed

also re-trimed the bits in the door trims black suede which came up good

heres my ba short shifter with the ba knob that goes well with the au centre console



heres just a couple of random pics

THat looks pretty good actually. Love the colour and interior looks nice.. I reckon you should have stayed with the 18's though, chrome 20's scream of rice.

s**t A BRICK!!!

Thats real nice man. Your rear garnish/bumper setup is different too.

I like it man, well done.

Andrew.

there building you a HOW MANY kW engine?!

Agree with the above, that is a sweet looking car...... but think the 18's looked a lot nicer..... I've never been a fan of chromies tho....

660kw's does not sound overly streetable?? You may have a few driveline longevity, not to mention traction issues?

Nice car! Well done.

whoa!.. totally transformed!... from "yuck" to "f**k me!.... great work!.. love d paint.. raer end.. interior work.. and front scorcher bar...

The More photos that get posted the more i am liking this car

I love a clean freshly painted engine bay. Only thing missing is the boosted engine.

Top work.

oh i just noticed them guages they are neat

thanks for the comments guys, yeah its been a real work in progress..
there have been a few people say that they like the 18's better but the 20's finish the look off... i wouldn't say that it look ricey just because it has chrome 20's...

yeah the boosted engine is about a month from being finished being built but i have got plenty that i can do while i am waiting.
