Thats cool. Get the pics up. I take it the car had a wack on the osf.

I love light pods on cars.

ossie cossie

Yes the car had a smash when it was in Hong Kong. As far as i have been able to find out then it was brought to Australia for scrap. So it can not be fully road registered, however there may be a licence i can get called Class B rally, then i can drive it to events and to test/ repair garages. That will be fun.
when i got it i stripped out all the interior and down to a bare shell, all the bits are up the attic Most, just being kept for spares for the road car.
All the up-rated bits i bought over the years to go on the road car are now going on this beast.

Very cool matey. So how come it cant be used on the road? Its looking well. At least you have a strong gearbox and diff.

ossie cossie

That's just the rules. It was only allowed to be imported under that rule. I hope it can be road registered but I will have to wait and see.

ossie cossie

On the up side i bought a 2 post hoist for the workshop and got the car up on it, so at least its out of the way sort off. You never know i may get to work on it with the lockdown.

I was thinking the same Toby .
and no you can not have one 😂

ossie cossie

Still got tubs and pallets of stuff to sort out, race car bits and other bits N bobs.

ossie cossie

well i thought i would check out the thread and see when i last posted on here. over 2 years ago and all in all very little has changed, car wise moved to a smaller unit and filled it up with all the bits and parts i cant even get in now, i have given myself 4 years to get it finished or it will have to go pic from a few weeks ago when i was last up the unit.

Caddyshack

We are all reviving old threads…maybe we can make PF busy again?

when they are out of sight the weeks and months can fly by.

ossie cossie

well another update. I have finally got 2 pallets of parts being shipped out from the UK these parts have been collecting dust in other peoples garages for a few years, i would like to thank them for there patience, they know who they are. So now hopefully when they arrive i can actually start again on the build.

ossie cossie

other pallet has this and the rest of the GTR box conversion.
