The RB20 Saga..........

Well, seeing as my thread got deleted cos it was nearly a year old without a post, i will just update it a bit..

Well it hasnt really changed since a year ago. i have fixed both sills inside and out, both floors (dodgy as tho), replaced the inside quarter panels, fixed the misalignment in the driver side gaurd, filled in trim holes. And that is about it, i hope to get it sandblasted in the next couple of months and look at fitting the motor back in. I have been busy setting my business up and lack of funds dont help. But i will post some pics soon of what i have done recently.
cheers Anthony

Just a reminder...

    Just a few more of the work i have done. More recently the drivers sills, and the rear quarter panels. That is the look i am aiming for, just wanna get it blasted as soon as to fit the engine back in and sort it out. biggest hurdle next is the steering column and the pedal box.

    I had them sent over from the UK. I thought they would be better fitting as i've heard that ones here dont quite fit proper, i've had them for a couple of years now tho. They cost $280 to my house.

    Oh wow!! how good does that look. Really looking forward to seeing this project come along. I'm a fan of the RB20, just didn't want to buy a Nissan to enjoy one lol. Good luck and keep up the pics.

    Can I ask what it cost for the blasting and etch on the shell?

    Ok, been surrounded by people with Escorts has made me pull my finger out and do a bit. So, ive got a steering column from a camry and put it in, altering the rack so it faces the right way for me and made up some steering components to make it work. So far it looks pretty good. While i had the engine out yet again, i managed to sort the pickup out as rb20 have a middle sump where the Escorts are at the front, so i had to make the pick up longer. I made a fuel tank too, so just have tomake the mounts and a little surge tank that will sit in the 1/4 gaurd. So will try and finish the sump and pickup this week. Then finish the steering rack and column. So once the sump and steering is finished , ill weld up the xm and put the engine back in, and then hopefully wont be long till i can start her.........

    Sorry bout the pics, took on my phone and had the settings set from the night before.
    cheers Anthony
