Lol. I've got a pinto being built around 120rwkw nearly ready but in time probably turbo duratec down the track

Just remembered I came across these wheels... Kind of that mix of old and new.
I'd assume would cost a small mortgage though.
 

 

I don't hate that.

Body Kit has arrived. I'm really impressed by the quality and the fit on the car seems fine.
 
It will just be screwed on as this won't be a show car.  The front spoiler will be removable to ensure I don't lose it getting it on and off a trailer.
 
The pics are crap but I'll get some more up in time.
 
Roll cage steel has been ordered so things show start to more rapidly soon.
 
Cheers

Are you using brembo rears? You'll need the relevant baking plate with internal handbrake or a single clamp type, it's a tricky one tho subject to the diff you use, i have a spare set of CT9A rears

Hey Buzz,
I have Skyline R31 calipers now (with internal handbrake but disconnected as I have hydro handbrake) on my English Axle but was thinking of upgrading to a 2 pot type like the Brembos or from an r34 Skyline.  How much do you want for them?  PM me if you want.
Cheers
Matt
 
 

Great going Matt, looks like a well thought out project. Looking forward to seeing more of the build...
Cheers Drew...

Cheers Drew, 
I've been planning this since I was 16 so to say I'm excited is a massive understatement
Cheers

More parts gathering.  I currently have a very tired celica 5 speed box to go in but then this came up and I couldn't go past it.  it's a freshly rebuilt Supra w58 g/box.  Apparently the type with the  steel sandwich plate has some minor internal differences, and it is believed to be slightly stronger (some wider bearings, some wider gears, slightly different gear selection mechanism, etc.).  
 
I've also ordered all the rust repair panels from Motorsport Tools so we can get moving on the body work.
 
Here's the 2 boxes together
