Hello,
Don't post much but thought i would show you my project

Got this motor about 8 months ago to use as a track/hill climb car.
Some of you will know it...




But it needed afew things sorting out.




After pulling the seats and carpet out i found some rust and holes... oooooo



Time for the grinder....


New metal..



And in the back





Bit of a rusty front



Out with the grinder again



The new bit



Tacked in place



Time for the home made roll cage

The back




The front







Door bars



Finished



Few patches on the arches




Time for some undercoat




Now for some white







Thats as far as ive got at the mo... will be painting the front end this weekend...

let me know what you guys think!!!!!

Thats metal mate, awsome work there

Keep us updated

 

done a really good job on that upto now m8


keep it up dude

 

Looking great! certainley different! plently hours labour went into it a can see

 

that is unreal

love it

 

keep it up bud top work!!

is that a rst front end in the rear??

 

cool keep it up

 

Nice bit of kit

Thought about how much better throttle response you would get with EFi

 

Forgot to ask where the intercooler goes??

 

YOu can see he's still got the standard one in there, with no air flow .

Awesome project mate, but I would seriously consider doing something about air flow to the I/C. It may look a bit cack but you could roof mount it a la RS200 or duct something up from underneath.

 

I'd go for side vents on that on the 3/4 panels, one side for an oil cooler and the other for intercooler

Looking good though

 

Mad stuff, remember the guy off here putting vids up when he had it Lookign shit hot now, yea as Paul says, roof mount cooler?

 

Lovely! Keep us updated cos thats cool as fuck!

 

how cool is that

 

cool mate, see ur finally doing sumthing with the old beast then!

did u ever take it out for a blast????????

i think it needs a hydraulic clutch fitting as that cable was wayyyyyyyy to long!

i would have posted vids up but ive lost them! will see if mate has them for u. (if u want?)

 

CheeRS for the kind coments guys

The standard I/C was just used to make the engine run, I did think about putting one on the roof but i wanted to try and keep it looking as standard as i can.
So ive got a cossie 4x4 I/C and a mate is welding a jacket around it so i can use it as a charge cooler.

These are the videos BEFORE i got it......

lookin shit hot mate nice one

 

looken cool going to look better than when my mate had it it like a cooker when that turbo gets hot oh and just wait for the oil shower when the cap pops off

 

Quality mate What hubs are used on the rear? are there steering arms on there?

 

That looks great ,well done ,i love it

 

itsgot to get hell of a warm in there. how noisy

 

Thats thing is quality...the cage is awesome Some serious skills have been used to fabricate that!!

 

Sounds like a plan

 

Looks good...
are you sure where the loading fron the rear end are going though, as they don't
look like they're definitely going into the cage?

I'm also presuming you'll be putting some kind of firewall in.. wouldn't want to be in there if something went wrong without one (which I'm sure it won't!) !

 

Have always wondered how you'd get drive down to the rear diff?

Shed any light?

Lookin spanking by the way, loving those vids!

 

very nice how much is a car like this go for?

 

Two words mate " FOOK ME"

 

i sold it for Ł1800 (i think it was)

 

How was the gear linkage made ?

Tidy seeing an S2 doing donuts

 

Jay-Cosworth, thats the nutz matey keep up the good work

 

Why?? wanna buy it when its finished???

I only gave you Ł1700 plus you still owe me a 90 spec front(the one your mate had to paint)

Picture of both front and rear racks

 

yer he never did give me that! lol (u knew so its not as thou i ripped u off)

 

how much are you looking for it when its finished

 

chill buddy, no one ripped anyone off. I got a bargain....

Its gonna be a beast when finished... maybe gonna put S1 arches on it??? and maybe a second engine???

 

 

Been doing a little bit more today

The front end.




Undercoat.





Some more white





Also painted.




Thats all for now. cheers for the kind comments.

More to come soon

 

cage is AWESOME , you have PM

 

Nice

 

fooking quality car mate,,,,,

Very nice work

But i really would put a fire wall in between you and the engine, its gonna hurt if the engine spits a rod a full chat!!!
