johnd-mkiv Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 I totally forgot your car was there. I would've taken a trip over there to have a look. Its just the spare engine there at the mo being built up and when its all ready ill give them the car to do the swap. I had to go there yesterday to drop the last of the bits off. Its a nice drive up there too get to go on the a130 if you do get time to pop in and get me some more pics that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I a welder and fabricator by trade managed to do it in my spare time, I might be interested in doing the welding for you but cant be bothered with all the polishing to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I don't know how I missed this thread. Looks like a comprehensive project! It's great having nice clean engine parts like that head isn't it? Seems a shame to clog it all up with oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnd-mkiv Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Few more pics of progress managed to get hold of some brembo calipers and a brand new pair of ebc grooved and dimpled disks, I have made up the brackets to mount the calipers, cant believe the size of them I hope it will stop better than the j specs:) started work on the interior, got hold of a 3 guage glove box pod but had nothing to mount it to, so I have cut the origional glove box and moulded the backing shell to the new pod holder then smoothed and painted it matt black I have fitted the twin guage pod to the a post and the glove box pod in and wired then all in looks the nuts at night I needed somewhere for the boost controller, turbo timer and blitz performance meter to go so decided to make an ally tray to hold the lot and go in the spare din slot under the stereo Jobs for this weekend will be to dye the carpet black, fit my new head unit and wire that lot up, fit my new carbon dash wire in the turbo timer and boost controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
