well... I'm the kind of guy that dont let my RST out in the winter.... so I had to find something to spend my time on.. and when the car was restoret a few years ago, not much attention was payed to the engine bay... So now is the time... and then I thought to my self.. why not do the bumbers to.. just to ad a little change to the old girl....

I started the work bout a month ago.. but I dont work on it everyday... so I cant promise you daily update..

well.... I have pretty much space to carry out the work


this is how it loocked like when I started


first.. starting to remove all the easy bits... lights, cooler, rad, e.c.t


headertank, ECU, heater e.c.t removed.. still easy parts


turbo gone... hmm.. can anyone help me?? did I have a leaky exhaust manifold gasket


few more bits removed... engine almost ready to go out


dont worry... got it under control


suspension, brakes, driveshaft gone... and engine 15min from being out of the car


15mins later


more to follow

my pride... my stg 2 bernie box


next week I'll start to work on the bumbers..

 

Cool man....ur battery tray is on the wrong side

 

damm.. you are right... and my steering wheel also.. AAARRRRHHHGG.. ooh no.. wait... its all yours that are in the wrong side Its going to be really wierd, when me a CasperR, are going to the UK this summer for some shows.. DO YOU KNOW YOU DRIVE IN THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD

 

Now I finally got started on my bumbers... cant wait to se them finished

still in pretty condition... its only 2 years since I had it painted



list removed


A bit enthusiastic perhaps


Bought my front bumber second hand and had it painted... but the bloke that fitted the splitter, had done a terrible job... so shortly after it was painted, it looked shite so I had to grind it all down, and start from the beginning


Used a rather powerful tool to, "grind" , the bumbers down, were the list had been..


will start to fill the bumbers in a couple of days... so... update will follow

 

I like it I like it I like

Lets do mine next

 

tanx mate.. you know all you have to say is.. let get started

Spend a few hours on my bumbers.... so now is taking shape









I spend bout 1KILO of fiberglass filler on these bumber.. and I aint done yet..

Some other bits I've been tidying up... more to come

 

Just picked this up the other day
Its a org t3, but with a 63 exhaust housing, uprated compresser housing, and modified blades for better flow, and 360 bearings..
Its a Trim 60 t3... so basicly its a Grp. A. turbo




The modified compresser housing


What a difference

 

Looks niiiiiiiiiiiice Can't wait to see it

 

danm nice m8

 

Finally I pulled my finger out and took some pictures enjoy

I thought I had a pretty good condition S2, BUT, when you take it apart, you find all the thing that have been hiding, but still.. It could be worse




new batteri tray welded in


Ready to go to the paintshop


My helpful dad... tanx


This is for me the turning point... GOT IT PAINTET.. now all there is left, is to put it all back together

 

Cant wait to see it this weekend

Dreaded Tin Worm

 

Was helping adam today, putting the engine back in
Here come's the pictures






One happy man

 

Looking very nice

 

WELL.. I havent got around to post some pictures for a while... but here are some.. this is were I am at now...







My alternator were looking pretty bad..




So I took it apart, and sandblasted the housing and painted the other thing.. and it came out looking like this






Just before I put the car away for the winter, my alternator (due to bad engine/gearbos mounts) cut a hole in my buttom waterhose


but luckely, one of my freinds had a solution to that problem

 

Looking spot on mate! aint checked this thread for a while! nice ECU there Did you get the whole car painted or just the front end

 

hi adam..

I had the whole car painted for a couple of years ago.. so it was only the engine bay this time, but the painter sprayed the front very quick, just to give is some colour

Im actually very pleased with that ECU even thoug it was fookin expencive.. LOOL just kiddin mate

 

well... tha car i almost finished now.. I still havent finished my bumbers... but will post som pictures when the are done...

first some picture of my starter heatsheild... didn't know the thing existed THANKS CasperR





here are some picture of the state the car is in now... enjoy













one of the things that need to be done, is to make the boosthoses in stainlees steel.. and then have them polished
