Well not posted on here in a while again. Been in and out of the UK with work but got abit done on the car.. Still no where nere but it is going into paint in the next few weeks for the whole shell to be done on a spit..... Thought I'd update agian

Offered the cage up









Had a stab at making the box section for the front of the cage. Really happy with how its turned out.














New engine arrived

Fully rebuilt topend with bronse guides all new, 1.9mm Cometic head gasket.
Block bored to 87mm with a slight deck, Regal under piston oil squirters, Crank reground, Mahle cossie bearings, Eagle rods with ARP's, ARP mains and head bolts, JE pistons, Z20LET oil pump with modified pickup, All new gasket set.








Made the some more feet for the cage.




Did abit on the Bay.... Rust free and ready for paint













Got all the box section for the cage and the harness bar properly welded in now.















All primed.







Just offered up the plate for the harness's


Offered up my new cooler and rad under my new pro-tech lower slam panel. Fit's spot on:)





This is the only bit of rust found on the whole shell which I'm really pleased with. I just put abit of primer on it while I was away in Saudi. Just needs cutting out and replacing with a new piece.



And a little collection of bit I've been getting over the months. Once the shell is eventually done I aim for it to be one big airfix kit








Spot of welding done.

Plate for the Belt points, Will get a touch of seam sealer ran round before paint.




And the little spot of rust repaired. All cut out and even kept the factory gromet hole And again needs seam sealer over before paint.





Got a few bits for mine off my mates car that is being stripped.

Clutch and Fly Wheel. Going to get the clutch re-plated before it goes in.




Fuel Set-up





Got all the underside completely de-rusted, prepped and painted with Epoxy Mastic 121. Not cheap but bloody good stuff

All ready for a nice coat of Blue








Made the cuts before paint for the bias pedal box.









Getting everything ready for the powder coaters.



Did abit of stitching on the beam to give it some strength too.








And a couple of goodies turned up from the US

Wideband



Oil Pressure



New gauges will replace the Boost and Narrowband



Ill keep updates coming and try not to leave it nearly 2 years again

amazing work, absoultley immaculate car, one best ive seen keep up good work

It does look very smart fair play

Nice one lads. Won't ever sell it so it will be done when it's done I suppose lol

1 word..wow ..respect mate!
I wish I had the amount of time you put in to it, of course the money, the garage..the skills ..!

Keep up (convinced you will) the great work! I will definitely follow this one!

Cheers mate




Touch of an update..

All my bits are back from the powder coaters. I know there wrapped and you cant really see in the pics but im leaving them wrapped till they get fitted




And a massive milestone Got the shell on 4 wheels today so it can go on my mate flat bed to get it to the painters. Then its going on a spit and getting a full hit with fresh paint inside, outside and underneath

2 years

some very nice work in that time though

how much would you sell this for?

Cheers lads

At my rate it will be a while before its done Seriously though, I've had it nearly 10 years now. I'll never sell it mate.

Tiny tiny update.. My GAZ Golds are here .



The car goes to paint next week so it should and I say should, come together in the future months and start looking like a car again

That is one seriously clean car ! its really nice aswell, keep the updates coming.

Cheers fella..


Well.. Still waiting for it to go into paint. Was going to put the spreader plates for the harnesses in on the spit but was bord today so popped in the garage.







Also got 5 boots for it. Ive wanted a 5 spoke wheel and wanted comps but comp won't make there old mo1665 wheel (mo5, et49, 16x6.5)
Got these very cheap so they will get it rolling while I hunt down the wheels I want

just looking at the thread, hows the car coming on?
is the c20let a conversion worth doing and how long did it take to put the engine in and wire it up, as looking to get one in within a week as i use my corsa every day.
