Project Blitz Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) The car was missing Arch liners and the turbos were sucking in dirt as there were no filters to clean the air! add to that the fact she'd been standing for 10+ years with little use meant SRD had their work cut out to get her looking as she should but as usual you can see from the pics they did a good job Edited February 26, 2015 by Project Blitz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project Blitz Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 I really want you to put facelift rears on the back Hi mate, I'd like to keep her to original spec but make her more up to date so its in the plan. when the car was sold to the last owner several parts were taken out of the interior - not happy but nothing I can do so will be looking slowly to put interior back to original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project Blitz Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 What is missing out of the interior ?? Roll cage gone, seats taken out and replaced with standard ones - some rear seats put back in. I will look to replace everything - there are some lovely gt2 seats going in the for sales section but other parts are taking priority at the moment - tempting though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project Blitz Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Are you sticking with the K26 turbos? Hi Nic, Yes I am, they're in good condition at the moment, might look to rebuild in the future but i'd like to keep with the original spec, also as they are pretty small they should spool up pretty quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 see previous page it says they were taken in 2010? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project Blitz Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Further progress to the last pics I posted... Turbo's were filthy from all the dust being sucked in as there were no arch liners! I was worried that the turbo's might be damaged as it's not been heard running for so long so SRD pulled them apart and really gave them a thorough check and clean up came out looking really nice Chrome and Black look - as advised by Lee, I think it retains the original look but bring it up to a nice finish.

Project Blitz Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Car was filthy from sitting all these years and sucking up all the dirt from the track and roads... Lee @ SRD started with giving her a good clean looked a lot better after that, ideal before the engine could be put back in Edited March 6, 2015 by Project Blitz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
