Birksyy

I forgot i had this here! Stuff has actually happened since i posted last! Ive moved to the Goldcoast and actually have a garage to work in now which is pretty rad! The build has gone in another direction. The 4agte is now sold and is in a good mates ae86 and i now have an NA 16v to take its place :) The body work is slowly getting there. Yesterday i undid the spot welds on the front end to replace the rad support section. The one that was in there was chopped up and wasnt in that great of condition. Once i replace that theres one 2 major tasks to complete, the swiss cheese spare wheel well and fix the trans tunnel, then its time to get the body ready for paint!

Hi mate, Yeah decided to reshell as there was a shit tonne of bog in the blue shell. Motor is currently stripped bare awaiting a rebuild, bigger turbo etc. What compression are the pistons you up in it?

It's been a while. New shell exterior is 95% stripped and in etch. Just need to do the doors and boot of he blue car. A mate of mine is a mobile sand blaster so I'm going to get him to come blast the door jams, window surrounds, engine bay, boot and interior floor to make it all the hard to reach places are paint free. Finally seeing some real progress. Nearly time to start cutting s#*t and doing some body work!!! I managed to get both front and rear windscreens out in about half and hour with no broken glass and was stoked to see no rust!!! Here's how's she sits now :)

Firewall "bump" will need to be deleted and trans tunnel will need to be made bigger for sure.

Jeff tree.... More updates!!!!!

Thanks man! I can't wait to have it back running and driving again. Maybe I'm looking forward to pissing off skyline and ss drivers haha

Woah!!! Looks awesome man! Can't wait to see more progress

About bloody time you made a build thread trav!!!! I got to come out and see this shed for myself and held you on this little sucker too

I wasn't able to spend to much time in the shed tonight so not much progress as it raining and I couldn't work on stripping the blue car. Motor is getting close to being stripped to be sent away to be cleaned????

More progress today on ke10 v2. It was windy as hell so I didn't get to do more body work as I can't paint outside. So I decided to pull apart the blue car more. Now the motor and box are out! Now to start pulling down the motor to give it a freshen up and some more goodies before going into the new shell for mock up ????

Update. Went to autobahn next door to work on my lunch break the other day to buy redbull but left with 12ft of hard line, fixtures to suit and some fittings... But no redbull. Progress is progress right?

I'm really not keen to start seam welding! I've read this thread so many times now, I love it!!

Hahahah! Yeah very lucky not having to much rust, it's a long road ahead still. The big tunnel is going to come in handy. Just need to see if my engineer will approve it. I'll definatly have a good at that jono!

Nah man when i got it, it was a rolling shell. You wouldn't happen to have guards and doors would you joel?
