  1. Well done great video. Like how you had the variance in music, and great to see the Vic boys and gals getting some exposure. At what time did you do that scene in the Eastlink tunnel (Mullum Mullum)??? Just coz I have NEVER seen it with no cars!!
  2. From what I have been hearing and the calculations I have made. I believe that 15x7 (ET 0) front and 15x8 (ET 0) rear should fit. As for the paint. I have very limited funds so I'm considering doing a Japanese / Rat Rod style (this is only an idea at the moment) so that I can allocate more funds into the other (more important) areas like suspension, engine and drive line. If I do go for the Japanese / Rat Rod concept then it WILL be bold and a love it or hate it car.
  3. Looking great Dave. Can't wait to see what this bad boy is going to look like when finished, always a fan of your work.
  4. Not 100% sure yet. I could go one of two ways. Option 1: Choose a colour that is the modern version of the original but has a metallic finish (I know the BF Falcon had a similar colour). Option 2: Celestial Blue (a Mazda colour) I am leaning towards Option 1 however I would like to know what your thoughts are. I am also open to any other suggestions at this stage.
  5. If you are going no spare you should consider Euro style and go the expansion foam canister that Peugeot uses (as well as many other brands).
  6. The RB20 Gearbox brings the shifting position back around 50mm towards the front of the carfrom that of the SR20 Gearbox. This will still need modification and cutting. However the reason for the Etch Primer on the entire flooring was due to not knowing how long it will take to get to the engine/gearbox. Presently I am going to be focused on bodywork and do not want any unnecessary rust coming through the flooring (which is still in great condition for the age of the car). So the Rust Converter and Primer is more of a preventative measure while other things are on the go. Maybe some people see this as a unnecessary step but I see it as protecting the investment of a great condition car. Thanks for the feedback guys
  7. Got a couple of hours today so I finished cleaning up the inside floor and primed the rest. Got to try out the new spray gun. Worked well and is so much quicker than using spray packs. As well as the boot area. And here is another pic of the engine bay.
  8. To tell you the truth I haven't looked into completing the diff yet, sent a few emails to get some quotes and stuff but not much more than that at the moment. More focused on the bodywork currently (when I get the time). But it is on my to do list LOL. As for the LSD I am not 100% sure if it is clutch type or not.
  9. Yeah basically I'm focussing on one aspect of the car at a time. I do have a theme and vision that I am aiming for however I will decide on the interior once I am up to that. Currently I am focussed on the body (coz it costs next to nothing) and my engine/gearbox.
  10. Yeah I have been talking with a few people and I think my measurements or calculations are out somewhere. I will have to go back and check them again. However a couple of people have told me that 15x7 (0) front and 15x8 (0) rear will work. I'll have to look into this further.
  11. Not 100% sure but I think it will be simple and usable. This week I was thinking S14 or S15 cluster, S2k center console, simple grey carpets, S14 or S15 rear seats, some Bride or Recaro front seats and some sort of sports steering wheel. This changes from week to week with different things I see, so I won't even know till the week the interior gets done LOL. :pimp:
  12. Build Update Hey Guys and Gals, It has been a while since I have had time to get out in the garage and do some work on Betsy, but today I was finally able to get out there for the day. There are a couple of other Items that I have obtained and filed away for later use as well. Item No. 1: The R31 Diff that I managed to pick up from a friend of a friend for $100. This will be shortened with a 4.11 Borgy and LSD. As well as this it came complete so it also has R31 discs/calipers (Rear brake upgrade), panard bar (that may be able to be modified to suit, & handbrake cable. Item No. 2: RB20 gearbox. This will be coupled with the SR20 Bellhousing to bring the shift position around 50mm closer to the engine bay. Item No 3: SR20 Bellhousing, to be used with the above item. Now all I need is the engine to go with these items. :bash: Today I decided to begin the cleanup of the aftermath that was the front windscreen, LOL, yes it has been sitting there for that long. As can be seen from the photos I had a couple of cans of Rust Converter and Super Etch Primer lying round so I utilized these and cleaned up the engine bay as well as the front interior and rear seat foot wells before I ran out of the Etch Primer. If it is any indication about the lengths I am going to go on the rest of this build I dare say it is going to be very very clean, lol. I say this for as can be seen in the photos ....... I even cleaned up the rubber plugs that go into the front driver side floor, but I must say under all that dirt and grime they were in surprisingly fantastic condition. Will be more to come so stay tuned.
  13. I'll be running a cut down R31 diff with 4.11 Borgy and LSD. Haven't had it cut down yet, but if my calculations for the offset are correct I will just make it the same size as the original diff. Brakes (Rear) will be the R31 discs and calipers etc. (Front) will be a Hopper Stoppers kit, 290 or 300mm. I am not sure if I have to yet. I'm running a SR20DET with a RB20 gearbox (brings the shifter 50mm further towards the engine bay). The calculations are on page 2 and the start of page 3. Feel free to check them for this is my first time working out offsets so it would be good for a second opinion. Nope, no flares. I am hoping to fit everything within the original guards. I have no objection to rolling and lipping the guards, however I would like them to look as stock as possible. Love your build by the way Dave and always value your feedback. I always have the option to run 15x7 (+12) at all four corners (which I have been told from a few people gives a good flush look) but would love for some fatter rubber at the business end.
  14. Thanks for that Dave. As I said I am a long way from the interior so I will probably do something completely different when that stage of the build comes about. I'm doing an SR20DET conversion into a KE30 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/67373-betsy-the-little-ke30-that-knew-she-could/
  15. LOL, I will find it (or something similar) for myself mate. I am still a LONG LONG LONG way off starting on the interior anyway. You just concentrate on finishing your little beast.
