Thats how it looked when I got it.

thats not long after it was painted, at this point it was decided to do a full resto and thats when it became a big job (as it always seems to do)

So the engine had to be bare metalled, this was done by Geelong Soda Blasters.

Another pic of the bay

Strut pic

Just a random pic at home on the hoist.

Now we skip a lot of the work due to me being to stupid to get more pics.[:o)]
But here we are at how it is today.



Cheers Kieran

Cool - wheels and colour look great together!

About time we saw pics.

Very nice Kizza. Good work.
Will keep an eye out for the mag.

Cheers Lincoln ,Loving your 3 door too mate.

And yeah your right Rhys been massively slack. still gotta get some pics of the interior and boot and possibly some engine bay pics.

Nice stance, nice colour, love it.

I saw this at SFS this year and it was absolutely stunning and the sound it made was wicked ! If I were to build a mk2 this is the car I would build !
Great work KIZZA !

Cheers for the kind comments. It wont be making that noise for too much longer. I will be pulling the engine/box to make way for a Yb Turbo in around 6 or so months. Just got the word the engine has arrived at the Melbourne docks. Also, have a w58 supra box waiting to go in.

thats is just stunning!!! ive been waiting for a while to see this car [:I]

man ive never seen any wheels like those, but damn do they go well with the car!

engine bay & struts = sex!!!

Kizza The car looks great ,love the cragars, it suits the car. It would make a great track car.!!!!!!

Cheers. It WILL be making a track debut at some stage. Hoping to enter Cams Carnival in October just gotta sort out a few things first.

And I hope the wait was worth it Sterling?
