yeah mate it is.

i read right through his build thread on 86 forum before doing the deal, to confirm it wasnt a dodgy conversion.

good news is Brad and others from this forum helped with the build for Kyle, and did a nice job of it

now, my drive last night was an interesting one, for sure.

it was raining and dark when i looked at her, so we pretty much made sure it ran, lights all worked, took her for a short spin. then did the deal

now, as I'm leaving his area and heading into Brissie, i sorta felt the clutch getting progressively worse, less pressure etc.

until, as i hit all the new bypass area, there was no clutch at all.

matching revs to change gear, praying not to stop at all.

then somewhere near the ipswich bypass, i noticed a shudder through the car, at random times, over 70km/h, then randomly would disappear

so i couldnt stop to look into it, as i would have a hard time taking off, so i babied it all the way home.

also noticed the exhaust had a mild leak, but as i got closer to home, it got louder, until, as i hit the top of the range, it sounded like a tractor...lol

so i get her home, luckily, have a quick look under the bonnet when i get home, before throwing her in the shed, showering and bed..

the clutch reservoir was empty, so i suspected a leak or something?

 

so after work today, i had a quick look at things before it got to dark

missing passenger side engine mount nut(hopefully that is all the shudder was)
