cheers Rhys, yeah dont worry you will get the call up...

lucas, you should be done by now mate...

nice car and engine

great to see you got some pics up mate.
Cant wait till the engine starts up 1st time.

thought id update this stale thread to prove that the car is still getting money and a little bit of time spent on it. i apologies about the pics as they are all phone quality

we put the car back on its old front end to make it easy to move around the workshop.



in the meantime we have been getting the bits together and cleaned up for the font end that will actually be used in the car.

after some research and some hunting down parts, chasing powder coaters, and getting some machining done (thanks to graham at BOSS AUTOMOTIVE lonsdale) we got this together.

It contains the following:







v6 mk1 capri struts
gaz inserts
capri v6 2" lowered king springs
eccentric (small hole) top mounts
2.2 ratio quaife quick rack
burtons adjustable lower tca's
24mm rs200 swaybar
burtons anti dive kit.
its held together with nolethane bushes everywhere but the anti dive kit.

im just getting some money together for some new rotors for the volvo calipers then i plan on putting the engine on the xmember and lifting it all up into the car.

thanks again goes to Rhys, dan and jeff on there help and use of there sheds as the trampoline doesn't quite cut it.
and thanks to Jordan c for the spring tops and bump stops...

i havent updated this post for a while cause not a great deal has been happening, i made time to put the engine, gearbox in as well as front suspension. ill let the pics do the explaining, still so much more to go. 
 
thanks too graham watson  BOSS AUTOMOTIVE,  and rhys munro, for all there help, without them id still have a pile of expensive bits gathering dust. 
I also purchased off ebay a nice gauge holder that is fitted where the ashtray usually fits and holds 3 gauges im just waiting on water temp too arrive
theres a few issues, theres something sus on the drivers side strut so that will have to come out for a closer look, 
and i need to spend some time spacing the intercooler back into the grill (this is very simple) 
next thing ill get is rear suspension sorted and when the diffs ready put all that together, anyway heres some images,. 
 
and anyone that is looking at putting a tough diff in there car and your in SA have a chat with this graham.

i spent 2 days in his workshop and he knows his stuff, one of his borg warner lsd diffs will be fitted to this car before it hits road.
