(COLEYST200) focus to focos / skyline gear box
As you may or may not know, i done the last thread for Coley on his 3dr restoration as its just easier me doing it for various reasons. Anyway, as his car is near enough done now, he has been on about to us for a while to do a FOCOS project.
So a few phone calls later, this is what turned up yesterday.
The car itself is going to be an ongoing project so updates won't be as regular as normal, its more for fun really but we'll see how it goes.
There is no plans as such with where he's going with this. 2wd? 4wd? Maybe looking at a track car? Any ideas welcome and if anyone has any pointers please feel free to let Coley know.
Enough chat now here's some pics of it turning up.......
Please ignore the RS badge
Car was took to Coleys sister in laws garage to be stored for abit till he can get some space freed up at home. Was fun lifting it from the flatbed into the garage....
In its new home for now....
Few random shots of inside and outside of it....
Dash board out......
A few panels also came with the car. Out of the doors, wings, boot and bonnet, the drivers door needs abit of work so all in all not too bad...
So there you have it for now, i'll update as and when and im sure Coley will be adding his bit along the line aswell
