May get into trouble for posting prices here - so will put prices up in the for sale section.
(Post was deleted so I guess not allowed to post prices without being a trader) Sorry |

It has been a long time since I have updated this thread. I finally got a leave pass from the wifer to spend a couple of days on the car. I have been meaning to do this for the last year.
Paul and myself jumped in to tackle the cage. Here are some pics. I thought the camera was OK but the flash was shit - will get some better ones soons but was so excited that something was done so wanted to show you all. It is hard to spot all the bars so will take some better ones. Also scraped all the deadening out of the car which was a total bastard. Wax and grease remover (prepsol) works well though! The brown stuff in not rust (mostly dirt, dust and deadener glue). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is not finished yet as we have not done the second front strut bars, harness bars and seat mounts and is only tacked together at the moment. Also need to put a fair few more gussets in it. I should probably tell you a bit more about the spec for it. Having a baby and really busy at work means buying stuff is all the work I have done on the car for a while. Car started as a 60K mile white 3 door in very good condition. Been in Aussie for last 15 years so no rust at all .Car was so good it feels like I have rewitten the book on "How to devalue a car by spending money on it"! Engine; Pectel t2 with new engine loom. New 200 block with 6 long studs. New old stock late sapphire head ported to 280hp NA. 7.2:1. WRC gasket. T4 maram turbo from CR turbo's with maram shaft and wheel. RS500 plenum with 8 fluro greens. Cams?? Standard rods, crank. Mongoose exhaust. Gen RS500 cooler. Forge Motorsports alloy stuff. Suspension and drivetrain; Leda coilovers. 6 degree beam. adjustable top mounts with adjustable TCA's. Centrelock conversion. Solid alloy beam bushes. Solid rack bushes. 8.8 eaton posi carbon rear diff 3.6 ratio. Tremec TKO600 with hydraulic release. Custom 1350 prop. Brakes; 355 up front with 6 pot billet calipers. 330 rear with 4 pot billt calipers. Bias pedal box. Wheels; 17 x 8 BBS mag centrelocks. 18 x 8 OZ mag centrelocks. Electrics; Motec SDL. Motec PDM. Front screen with demister. Other; Creative carbon bonnet. Carbon steering column shroud. Carbon airbox. Carbon sunroof panel. Carbon mirror mounts with vitaloni mirrors. Carbon door cards. Carbon dash bits. Gen RS500 splitter. Will update with some more pics soon as I am finally going to start assembling it. Last edited by LINCOLN; 08-01-2009 at 10:19 AM. Reason: Remembered some more bits. |

You have a good one there, we had it in the family from 1990 until we took it over to Aus in 95, it was used for about a year in Adelaide then sold on at Shannons Melbourne Grand Prix auction in 96. Bog standard when we had it with about 50 odd thousand on the clock, someone has added those wheels and clear indicators later Nice to see the old girl still about, funny thing is I have a set of exactly the same centre locks ready to go on my current 3dr. |

meant to say did you find the hidden kill switch when you stripped out the loom, that little gem stopped it being stolen in 93 when some twats tried to get it away in a carpark, they got past all the fitted security and it was only that Ł5 switch that stopped them from driving off.

Thanks for bringing it out then. Only done the extra 10kmiles in 13 years so probably not much different - I have known the car since 1999 (owned by a guy name Frank) and owned it since 2004 so can verify miles are accurate. Interior was immaculate. Did not find the kill switch but it had an alarm put in at some stage. Where was the switch? Thanks for all the comments and I do agree that i am a bit mad doing it to a nice clean car. However I wanted a track car and knew that this car was straight and rust free. |

Done a few more things lately - engine is almost dome too!!
Found this awesome product - it is called DupliColour Metal Cast - if you dont know you cannot colour anodise cast alluminium successfully dependant on amount of silicone in the casting. I really wanted my rocker cover to match the red that is on my aeroquip fittings. The Metal Cast is a high temp (500degF) epoxy paint in a spray can - it is a two part process - first a base coat that makes the rocker cover look like it has been freshly cast and then the top colour coat that is semi tranparent. Check it. Have not machined the top yet. ![]() The depth of colour is excellent and I will give it another coat - the photos do not do it justice - it looks almost candy without looking plasticy and matches the aeroquip well. They have a charcoal colour aswell I have ordered it to paint all my tanks - will keep you updated when I paint. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/metalcast.html ![]() Made some bracketry for the fuel reg and supply t piece. Dash 8 in and out - two dash 6 in and out. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am going to reanodise the purple - it is the only colour you can get these regs in and I will relocate the pressure transducer to the reg. Started figuring out the twin pumps and fuel rails. ![]() ![]() ![]() The other stupid thing that I have done is that always loved the BBS wheels that have the bolts on the outside. But the old grpa ones the bolt is on the inner of the rin. So sourced some grade 8 stainless bolts that I had to die nut the thread to the shoulder (absolute bastard) and then k-nuts on the other side. Looks better but no heads so probably should not have bothered. ![]()
