Default RE-TYPE...I AM REBUILDING THE COSSIE :)

Now i am being serious..as the Skyline is mental.....BUT i dont need to do anything to it..i get in it and drive it..nothing goes wrong,i am missing the breakdowns and constant faults

So i think my RST S1 will be MOT'd and tidy and then sold to re fund the Cossie ressurection .....as i cant bare to get rid of the rest of it...i must rebuild it.

Totally new engine though as old one is sold....look out for many more questions and test results DIY stylee

PS Skyline will NOT be sold.

Mike...i am looking at the Saff now and with a bit of bodywork....it could have a new lease of life.....Got sooooooo many spares virtually got a bottom end only need the head and turbo.

I been thinkin that i will NOT let anyone get the car back on the road which means i'd have to scrap it...and we cant go without another Cossie on the road!...So the RST will go as soon asi got time to get that sorted and the proceeds will get the Cossie back as an all mouth no trousers contender

Adus...the R32 is the most awesome car around..IMO......BUT it lacks the tin can unreliable bone shaking of the mighty Sapphire......

People think i been slating Cossies...your right Skylines ARE the better car we dont need an argument there...BUT the cossie is a car of its own..i am missing the excitement

CAR "Ima Racings Finest" will be ressurected....and i have no clue on spec as yet. ..This aint a joke thread.

Mike how much you wanna bet?

Is it going to be another 450bhp home grown special? or are you gonna get a proper engine built and specced by the experts?

And finally are we actually going to see the beast at all at any shoot outs or anything or is it going to be locked in your garage forever after it has been rebuilt, as a museum piece?

Being serious for a minute Phil.........R U sure you want to put youself (AND us) through all this again?

I predict that you will get loads of very good advice on here from some very helpful owners and tuners, they will put you right on how you should proceed etc..........

Then I predict that you will ignore virtually all of the good advice that you are offered and end up doing it your own way as before

So can you please tell us when the Cossie will be finished? Even an approximation will be fine, just so I can diary it for piss-taking for when it isn't ready / not even started .

Mike...i have an RST to do up first and then sell....obviously in the mean time the Cossie will be worked on in a non financial way.Once RST is sold then it will be about a month before its back on the road ....The MOT dont run out till the end of MAY 2005

All it needs is:-

Front seats
Headlining
Seat belts
Engine..various bits needed and not needed...depends on spec i go for.

I got many spares
