I posted at the start of this month i had bought a SWB N/a with a naff engine and was planning on doing a TT swap among other things and general tinkery stuffs.... ( BTW i bought this with a Big end Bearing gone.....)

 

Well i started to strip her down and upon removing the R/h Wing i found this abomination!

 

 

Then obviously having to remove the engine and planning on stripping the underside i start removing the engine beginning with the Fluids and find a certain something peeping out the sump! (the dipstick i knew about when buying the car and the look on the owners face when i asked him where the rest of it was was priceless)

 

 

 

 

This next one isnt detrimental but i thought, at least I've gained something so far from buying this.....

 

 

 

Now for my favorite surprise ive had yet...

 

L/H Sill

Keep at it mate looking good.

The car is silver at the moment...

haha neither can i bud!

I bet you can't....pmsl. How long do you think it will be now?

God noes tbh, I plan for it to visit Daz and boldly at body mech so it can avoid my hand for a while, then some s****y stuff with the engine... And get my wheels properly re-furbed.

You know where we are if you ever need any help buddy.

Awesome project, my hat is off to you ;)

Fantastic work Adam .Keep it up lad itll look brand new once finished.Top work there m8y:):)

Awww cheers lee, nicest thing youve ever said :wub:

 

Anyway, i have some more pics, nothing special...

 

Heres some lovely SPL rear adj toe arms from Z1

 

 

Now these are awesome!

 

Billet aluminum, they are so light and so well made. These are for my evo 5-9 Brembo calipers to adapt them to the Z32 Upright to allow me to use Evo X Brake rotors, which are 350mm x 32mm woop!

 

 

This is just to show my welding isnt that bad! considering doing it less than a handful of times. Its the boot lid spoiler + rear wiper holes being welded up, going for some smooth action ;)

 

 

And here is a pic in progress of my sanding and filling..(not finished)

 

 

A pic of my front subframe with the steering rack fitting.... (its a little dusty from the engine bay smoothing in progress)

 

 

Now because i wanted to be different i am no longer going to use an Engine Driven pump... im going electric :D

 

here it is with some temporary brackets sitting where the toolkit would go!

 

 

 

Got all my PS oil lines already made up to get to the steering rack :)

 

I do have other pictures but cant show you them yet ;)....

PMSL.....

 

......But seriously though; it is coming on nicely Adam - can't wait to see it finished:hyper:

cheers guys, and gay...

A better pic of my smoothed boot lid attempt

 

haha a tiny bit of overspray, nevermind its not staying that colour ;)

 

 

 

And as you do...a test piece for what it could look like. However i have put a few coats of lacquer on after this pic was taken...tried to take another but my stupid iphone dies so fast when taking pics.

 

Looking good Rick, very nice.....:thumbup1::clap:

lol cheers buddy. wait till i see you next....:2guns:

Awesome stuff!

Do you mind me asking where and how much the brake adaptors were?

Heres some lovely SPL rear adj toe arms from Z1

 

Those are actually SPC toe rods, SPL looks like this & are roughly 4 times the price

 

Loving the alpha omega brake brackets, have you got all that fitted up yet?

 

cheers, Tim

Lol got the first 2 letters right!

That's the link to the relocation brackets.

 

Nope not all fitted yet as I'm juggling jobs to try and get it done to send to boldy and Daz

 

Soon though ;)

Thought they'd be that kind of cost, £180 plus tax and post from oz. so circa £400 to source and fit the calipers then you need discs too.
