A quick update on my current project car.

I havent seen the old girl in the flesh yet, but other than a couple of minor issues that the painter will put right once we have finished rebuilding, all is good.
I am very pleased with the result.
The paint is 997 GT3RS orange and apparently takes loads of coats and is a pain to apply The interior is the same colour but in matt. Once the black seat, black flocked dash, black wheels, black anti slip floor, black trim is on it will look fine and dandy..... Well I think so anyway :wink:
Oh and the chrome bits will be black too

 

that is gonna look fantastic gary

have you got rid of the pug

 

No Pete I still have it

 

Id still weld up the rear doors and seam weld it Gary; even if its only inch-on, inch-off. Itll make a massive difference.

 

Why have you got scaffolding in the back of your car

Banny

 

Because i'm a scaffolder

 

Looking good Gary.

 

Thanks DW ........ You still got the 205 or got shot yet?

 

Looks sporty Gary

 

Still have it for now - slowly putting it back to std and may sell it then. Hopefully doing Oulton before that though in November, so no rush

 

What engine are you going to put in it?

 

It will stay with the standard 325 engine till it goes pop. Then when time and money allows something with a little more grunt will be slotted in.

However, power isnt everything

 

*cough* LS1

 

I love full-on track car projects. Mine took about 2 years and really enjoyed the experience of it all, the research, the decisions etc. I've only done 2 tracik days withg it since the rebuild (that was 18 months ago) and just about to get it 100% to start tearing up the tarmac again

I'd love an E30 M3 as a track car....hmm just the car to focus those handling skills
