my build. So far.
From this.






To this.



Its slow going with work commitments and the like.


Will post up more as i go along.

 

I'm liking this a lot

 

I have lots more pics of the build. its been going on for about 2 years so far. I am Doing this and the transporter for it, jumping from one to another.

 

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

I love light pods on cars.

 

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.

 

Delivery.


extra parts that came with it.

 

Stripped down.

This is where we are at now.

 

Also building this.


Into something like this.

 

so far it looks like this.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Or well not to worry.

Keep up the good work.

 

Looks like your busy, keep it up

 

bit of a small update, been really busy with house Reno,s and stuff. Car took a back seat for a while, looking at getting all the rest of the stuff to finish it off very soon, on its way to get a new heated windscreen.



Windscreen fitted

 

also picked up these locally.









Stack dash needs a repair but i will get that done when i have fitted it and i know it all works.

 

Nice mate, they look great sat on the drive together

 

This looks good well done, epic build.

 

Nice to see a bit of work been done on the old girl mate

 

I wish i was able to spend more time on it.

 

had my thermostat housing modified.

 

It is a shame you cannot just push on with it but every small bit is a step in the right direction

 

That looks amazing, love the transit too

 

just trying something

 

well that went well maybe I am a geek after all.

 

both together lets hope this works. if all ok no more photobucket.

 

everything about this thread is awesome! Love the Tow Truck!

 

thank you. its a slow process.

 

well its about time i thought i would update the thread. not much happening on the car front some small jobs done on it had a lot of things happen over the years, anyway it looks like i may be getting back on track.
everything has changed,
new house.
new bigger workshop.
road COSSY sold.
GT-R sold
Downsizing
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.

 

Nice workshop

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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