ripped_fear Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 So decision to hold off getting the water pump and some smaller bits done before Christmas has been made. This means she is off the road for a couple of months In the New year its going to have allot of bits done. Want the car exactly as I imagine ready for the Show season, so major work will be done. I also want full confidence in it mechanically as I intend to put it up the strip a few times too so some future proofing will be happening. Full details will be revealed soon, so keep watch.

berg Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Turbo link pipes i use 57mm, the longer one above the heat shield is 48mm make sure you buy a long enough piece as its longer than a standard coupler, those sizes fit perfect Rad pipe couplers are 34mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 So just taken a call, more of the dash is done should have some pictures tomorrow Also tomorrow I intend on starting the engine bay, I was trying to hold off as long as possible but with parts piling and lack of space with Christmas so close, I need to start making room so going to make a start on some painting of the front slam panel tomorrow, and maybe fit a couple of shiny bits that wont need to be removed when the mechanical work is done. All depends on the temperatures tomorrow are weather or not I get the time I hope for. Anyway should have some updates tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) OK lets keep this on topic now then gents Its a build thread after all Today I have been allot busier than I originally planned on, so the car had to take a back burner. But once I finally got back home, I made a start on stripping the front down. Cleaned up the front panel, and gave it some prep for paint, had a couple of small surface rust spots around the bolt holes, so got them back to bare metal, covered a couple of the oem holes that would no longer be needed, I used the same stuff I used on the old car, a similar product, to what Toyota use on the holes near the VIN. Moved the horn so it will be hidden, Then began to prime it. Edited December 10, 2015 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
