It all started as one of them good ideas on the back of a beermat......

"lets build a cossie dad"...says Shorty...

So we start hording a few bits,then a few people start giving us a little push in the right direction(you know who you are..)

And eventually we end up with our project shell....Thanks Ian (RsNuts)

Here she is just after we took delivery.........



Looking a bit sorry for herself,with some temporary running gear thrown on to get her rolling...

So we get to work sorting her out first all of the wiring/sound proofing etc




Then we start looking at the engine bay......





Then after lots of this up and down the country in our trusty race tuned pug diesel....




We end up with a few bits....

Nice new engine,fully rebuilt by Scotty at A1 with 0 miles on it...



Some rims...



Decent size turbo.....



And various other bits and bobs.......you know how it is...

So we make a star on the running gear.....bit of blasting and coating and some nice new bushes...



Then the motor going in .....



And................Voila,we finally end up with a cossie again

Heres a few pics of the finished article.......well almost,just waiting for bumpers..

















Hope you like her now she has been resurrected,all beams,arms,crossmember etc blasted and coated,new koni`s,goodridge hoses,new brake pipes,etc etc

spec at the mo is 7.8:1cr,greens,t35,mongoose evo system,044 pump,L8 ecu,group A gasket etc,....once she is run in will be going on greys and a live map.......and no doubt she wil now become a hideous money pit cos now ive started i don`t know if i can stop..


Will put up more pics when bumpers are on and as i fit more blingy bits.


Rob...............

 

Nice, excellent work chap. Top stuff Bet ur happy

 

Now the big ups....

Big big thanks to Snapesy(seveneights).....selling me the motor,then waiting forever for me to pay him,letting me plunder his stash on a regular basis,and generally putting up with me being a right coont !!!!

JC....supplying me loads of bits for right money(ie fook all in most cases. )

Jon Foz......finding bits and giving me the inspiration to finish the project even when i felt like throwing the fooking thing in the skip

Sticker paul.....keeping me goin when i got pissed of with it and throwing bits in here and there....

And last but definitely not least.........My good mate Lee R21 Turbo for giving up his weekends to help us build her up and all his artistic touches here and there..


Lads give yourselves a pat on the back,i couldnt have done it without ya.....

Brembo radial mount calipers from a 911 C4s porsche,rears are the same dimension as an AP CP5200/6600 and fronts look like there the same as an AP six pot so brackets and bells shouldnt be a problem.....
