Default 440bhp 2wd msd tuned sapphire summer resto

Here goes nothing,finally got the motivation to do it,poor cars been sat in the garage ever since it did the last diff.so over the weekend starting getting ready for underbody resto,all the nice bits under the engine have gone abit funny being in the garage so thats next.

before the diff went

box
for sale
tank(had to cut it off as bolts were fooked)






im suprised how clean it is really,no nastys whatsoever,just surface rust.then tonight i took the beam off








engine bay is looking well sorry for itself


plans are make everything new,get fuel tank in boot mabye uprate the beam,got a diff being built as a favour,got the dog box to go in,rewire fuel pump and so on,

good luck with it.. once its all clean and new you wont want to take it out in the rain.. worth it in the end tho.. did mine over 2 years ago and is still nice and clean underneath... better than it is on the top...

I love drivfting it in the rain so not really bothered,just want it to last another 18yrs lol.

Still got seats and cage to fit too,still deciding what beam to use,its only for fast road so dont need anything to special,also fancy some deep dish hockenheim style wide wheels or mabye some cxn's with black centres.

how long till its done do u think..? went up to that street wars thing last weekend would look good with a few more cossies smoking up that little strip.. ill try and take mine up on the next one and whack the welded diff in... i have been thinking about an adjustable beam but not got 1k to spend just to make it grip... i went in marco's 3door and couldnt belive how well it gripped.. didnt even spin the wheels at all and has a gt30 on... think his has some group a beam but certainly works... have thought of selling mine every time something goes wrong but seem to keep spending...
allto dive it a few times a year...

Im such a lazy cunt,i'd rather be out using cars than working on them in a freezing cold garage,thats why its taking me forever to get under it and get it finished.plus my mate has a 650hp r32 gtr that needs to be shown what a cossie can do
