My 3dr Cosworth project updated (16.01.12)*

Gav Diamond · 27-12-2003, 10:10 PM

This is the car as i bought it

Edit 12th March 2011
Borrowed me dad's negative scanner and found some old photos so scanned the the negatives and uploaded onto the computer

Far too much boost took its toll, lol

A little lean

New engine

Some old 17's i'd like to get again but not sure what they are called

Back to the complete strip and rebuild the 2nd time round

Gav Diamond · 27-12-2003, 10:42 PM

Tell me about it

Back panel and new passenger side wing should hopefully be on next week.
Then the cage is going in, as soon as it gets delivered.
Then all the suspension is being done, let alone the engine

Its really wierd, i think it is something to do with the lighting as a mate had his cossie down there aswell and that looked yellow, but as soon as it went outside it looked spot on

Went down today aswell doors and bonnet are painted and on, will be delivered back on saturday

Tony Turbo · 18-03-2004, 06:34 PM

Thats bloody quick m8!

Gav Diamond · 18-03-2004, 06:42 PM

Just waiting on front bumper (will be a month

) and new tailgate as mine was not really that good a condition, but atleast i can get on with the rest of it

Will get some more pictures up in the daylight when i get it back on saturday

Damo V · 18-03-2004, 08:24 PM

Yeah looks nice mate, nice, I find when I take the pics in natural light or with flash they ok, but when it starts getting dark, thats when they look pants
