Update time...
The 924 had to go, too many projects and all that, lets concentrate on the proper classic shall we!
The shell is due to go into paint next week for a full respray, ive also got a few spare bumpers to paint, and even a spare boot lid with a Rouse spoiler I am toying with fitting. While the shells out of the way I plan on having a mass reshuffle in the unit, i'm going to organise the loom etc so i am ready to get stuck in upon the shells return, hoping to be back on the road asap so i can get to some shows.
THE ENGINE CAME BACK!
and its looking lovely! just a few bits to have zinc plated, change the leads for black i think also
THE TURBO ARRIVED!
and it looks mint! so excited to get this beast back together now!
here is a list of works on the engine, turbo and gearbox, its cost about the same amount as what i purchased the car for!
just sitting there waiting to be fitted
turbo porn!
will be buying a new -31 actuator I think
note the cut back blades on the exhaust side
A pic of the block, as how often do you get to see a never used 200 block in all its splendor
a pic that came up in my Facebook memories not long ago. this was the day i bought the car
how it looked before i decided to fully restore it, originally only planning on freshening up the engine bay, turned into a slightly bigger job!!
And i'll finish with this pic of my boy sitting on the saph at Beaulieu with the Kent RS Owners Club. Two years ago now, I will take this pic again once the cars done
