Brought this classic the other day from a friend that doesn't have time to finish it , new paint inside and outside , new cage full welded in and though to the turrets , seam welding,, lots of extra prep gone into this shell before it was painted

Not sure what spec it's going to be at the mo but I will update this thread as I get stuff done and buy parts for it , more just to show what I'm starting with

 

You have enough on your plate at the moment, sell it to me instead....

 

It's not being kept , once it's built up its going up for sale

 

just sell as is so I can re shell mine

 

Nice basis to start with, most of the hard/time consuming work has already been done

 

Front subframe back from the powder coaters ,, newage front end going on , front arms are off being mirror polished

 

+1 sell it to me

 

Anything can be brought for the right price but I paid quite a bit for it as i know the chap building it done lots to the shell before painting and it came with quite a few nice parts already attached and with the new cage and being painted inside and outside including the engine bay its a lot of work that's already gone into it so it wasn't a cheap buy , but like I said anything is for sale really

 

How many projects you got on the go Dom ?
Subscribed

 

Only a couple mate lol ,, they will keep me skint this year don't worry lol

This build (replacing the RA I just sold)
Hatchback Sti (more or less finished now)
VW t25 camper with Subaru turbo engine (still loads to do)
S11 WRC build (still loads to do )

 

Couple of the carbon covers turned up so stuck them onto the car and I think they look good and weren't very expensive really




And iv brought this one to break for any bits I might need like the running gear mainly

 

Another project????? Blimey man!


Does look nice though. Great shell. Will certainly watch this thread. Scoobynet bugs permitting.

 

Yeah another one lol , must admit I like building them as much as driving them these days ,, I'm also considering doing some hill climb stuff in this before I sell it , once sold I'll start all over again with another one but another Newage next time I think

 

Where are the carbon covers from please mate

 

eBay but was the last set in stock , I'm sure there will be others doing them though

 

Made my own carbon hydrolic handbrake ,, brought a cheap eBay one for the base and some carbon tube and here are the results ,, not 100% finished as still needs the sort grip but works great so far

 

Got the front arms back from the polisher , bargain @ £20 a arm

 

Will that make your car go faster you big tart?

 

Prob not but I love shiny things

 

Rear diff has been changed and all back together with the new adjustable arms and painted to match

 

Engine is now in place and starting to mock up some piping for the intercooler

 

Looking great keep up the good work subscribed.

 

inside is starting to come together now

 

Looks smart can I ask where you got the lower centre console switch panel from been looking for something like that for ages

 

came with the car when I brought it , but think its from rallytech

 

Is that Daves old car?

 

yes mate daves a good mate of mine

 

most of the interior parts are in place now , new parts all round

 

was a bit board this weekend so thought id go out with my proper camera and take some better pics ,,, and yes my garage floor does need a good clean lol

will be going back over to be re painted on the outside again in the next few weeks to match the doors bumper and a few other bits in

 

thought id do a bit of a spec list ,, prob missed a few things off and as its a ongoing project some parts will prob be swapped out long before it sees the light of day but iv used a few parts just to mock things up and still have loads to do so its not a finished spec , but are they ever finished lol
