as you might know i have a daily runner xr3 & a s1 st170 turbo track car in the making but its taking forever, theres loads of wee bits missing, & the birds pregnant so time is an issue, but instead of giving up & selling it all off & then wishing i carried on later im just going to bang everything onto the xr3 & i was thinking about a datapost replica? with riveted on arches like gus's, tom scarlets & cliff's1, coilovers,big brakes, caged up bucket seats & an st170 turbo engine,6 speed box etc

heres some pictures ive found of the original datapost cars

what do you think?

It needs to be like this or else it will look shite

smitsturbo

i think them wheels will be the only thing i cant get

might get some sort of split rim tho

the same but petrol cap in the window & riveted on arches

Pics performance,please...

Would be a hard job to do properly, are you going to use a 1600cvh or the ST170 turbo? I just don't think that would 'suit' the car.

Those wheels are like rocking horse shit, I do know someone with a set but doubt he will sell.

Also, riveted arches look shite and are no original to the car

smitsturbo

id use the st170 turbo & make it into a modern classic track car

is that daz'c with the wheels??

Dan

Hmmm I know it's a more modern engine and obviously more easily achievable for the power, but i'd be tempted to flog off all the ST170 gear and use a genuine 1600cvh turbo as it should be

I'm abit anal with replica's and things, i'd either do it perfectly, or not at all

Yeah Daz has a set

Awesome idea IMO.

Like this pic because a Datapost liveried red s1 on some silver split BBS's is pure porn to me

Reckon it could work if done right, and looking at your resto, it would get done right

P.s as said don't rivet the arches

Dan

See, Ad knows what I like

if your gna do it, make it a replica of the racing livered car. not a rough copy, has to be a replica in my opinion, or it will just look shite.

im sure you could get someone to make the wheels, if you paid them enough.

ps dont rivet arches looks crap, like those skodas from 2000-2004!!

But yeh go for the project

It's a big project, if i were doing it i would go the whole hog and move the petrol cap etc but i would throw mega money at it as you won't do it on a couple of thousand quid.
