that looks great damion...

did you get the wheels fixed up? they look great.

glad to see the engine running... hope you have fun. drive safely...
thats going to be one taily escort

what did you use to polish the plennum? did you just sand it back and use Autosol?

Thanks everyone.

Yeah i got the wheels straightened professionally and gave them a bit of a polish.. they could do with some finishing off tho.

yeah i probably wouldn't recommend doing the plenum too much sanding / polishing is involved.

Car looks great Damion, from what ive read youve had a fair bit of bad luck with this project, hope you actually get to enjoy just driving it for a while! Flat fronts look tough[}:)]

Thanks Nigel, yeah it has been a bit that way mixed with a bit of bad management aswell

I sent the turbo off to be rebuilt yesterday and following trend it was not in good order.. even the shaft is too worn for re use.. but anyway, it should be back in my hands within the next two weeks.. so hopefully I can start her up again soon

Well it has been a fair while since my last update, so I thought I would add some new pictures and give a bit of an update.

It hasnt all been smooth sailing, but it is finally running ok. The car really needs a new ECU to make it run as it should.

So carrying on from my last update..Shortly after the turbo was rebuilt I put some more kms on the car and stress cracks started to propagate on either side of my passenger side strut tower (has anyone seen this happen before?) I had a friend make some plates up to fit in the underside and stitch weld them in for me.

Then I hit a kangaroo and made a mess of the front right hand side of the car, fixed that.. then had the bonnet unlatch at speed ! Then went through three NPC clutches and a couple of gearbox rebuilds.

But enough whinging, here are some recent pics of the car:











Cheers,
Damion.
