Project - niscort, up and going again

Time for a bit of an update... seem the old thread has died in the archive

anyhow... Ill just try and occasionally put up some pics as things progress.. currently have a vehicle modification application form sitting beside the computer, its a daunting form... and apparently i shouldnt have commenced any work, but expects that everything has been designed with addition of sketchs and pictures.. oh well

pics
the begining




engine fitted


then came a rebuild after the donor engine was discovered to be missing some important bearings


car was stored for a few years as I went abroad.. then it saw the light again


an addition to the family


didn't last long... survived a day[:p]


new wheels


that ends to about 6months ago... plently of more to come

    Hey mate, great looking bit of kit

    Howd you put those holes in the front grill? is it a replacement front panel? or just a massive drill [(#)]

    i drilled a start hole then used some cutters, then a die grinder to the final size... smaller holes were with a hole saw.



    a few more progress pics from different stages of things

    thanks...

    Ive pretty much completed the rebuild of the new engine.. obviously not everyones cup of tea, being a non ford engine.. and... at the end of the day, it could have been another cosworth with the money its cost...




    If so inclined... more detail about the engine build can be found on this "nissan" site... please beware, it has a fair percent of [:o)]'s..

    Looks like a serious build. with quite a few custom bits...

    What size TB's are you hiding?

    they are a set of 45mm throttles... the manifold is blurred as its a custom mod that would have a few people jump on the bandwagan as its basically a very simple modification from its original form, which ive never seen, nor know of being done before.. and Id like to have my car finished before I see someone else claiming the idea as their own ..
    yes.. plently of custom bits... I cant simply put something back on as it came off.. bad habit really.

    on a side note... got an engineering appointment on Friday.. so far it looks like im going to require approval on 14 seperate approval codes [:u].. just hope that these 14 are achievable. fingers are crossed
