Wow, I am loving this so far! Also, bet way to link images into posts is to use BBCode

 

Cool build but 4k nzd is about 3100 usd.

I'll follow its progress. Looks neat

 

cheers
ekk how did i get 6000 must have been away with the fairys lol sorry!!

 

cheers bud, you can tell im not much of a interior guy lol
what is this bbcode you speak of?

 

sign up for a photobucket account photobucket.com
upload all of your pictures to that site.
then they give you a bunch of links that you can select depending on what you want to do. just click on the [i*mg]tag[/img] link and post it here and voila you have posted pictures

 

Coming along nicely

 

cheers mate how is yours going, are you going injected or carby?

 

carby if i stick with the 13b

 

what carby just a ida?

 

Yep

 

i guess you can see my ghetto mods for the week lol i have bunged some of the holes in the floor and fire wall, spot welded my sun roof in place, rattle gunned my rear axles up tight, made a gear ****, started making a brake master stopper, took the radiator out to get it different necks welded on, cleaned and painted the block with heat proof saturn black for the stealth look... depowered my steering rack welded hole shut and painted

1 week down 4 to go next week i will be mounting the fpr and oil catch can most likely they will get painted black lol, make a seat mount because for some reason seats i bought second hand only came with 3 seat mounts, need to bung three more holes, get new tie rod ends and extra angle spacers put all the steering back together









o and that wooden thing in the photos was a trolley a made to try and wheel the car in and out of my tiny garage so i had some room in there but it failed the wheels cant support the weight and dont turn around lol so i will be making steel wheels for it soon



enjoy and laugh haha

 

 

and the older ones blowen up

 

Yip not many non turbo FC in NZ.seem to be prevalent in the US .I have gilmer gears on my FC but I'm running a standard donk/turbo apart from that.

I do miss my aircon though i must admit,kept the PS.

For my FC replacing the original factory 1990 exhaust for a twin stainless system made the biggest difference, teins all 4 corners made the difference on the track.

nice ride.what colour you thinking??

judging by the wheels in the front guards this is going to be either a pure racecar or are you fitting flares??

 

hey bro i want to get it cert and a wof one day so i have built it so it can fly through the day i end up getting there haha that pic the wheel was just sitting there i was trying to put the car up on the trolly with only one jack lol i just took a photo because it looked good, so it will be a weekend car and for the paint im going standard black s4 side trims with 10% gloss army tank grean paint black lip and black spoiler

 

Looking fantastic, any reason you didn't dreesup and refinish the engine compartment/firewall prior? Having that bueatifully done motor in their and then the upcoming(?) exterior paint job... seems out of place, keep it up!
