Gaz Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 NOTE TO NEWBS: No posting in users project threads. The place to post is their Project disccusion thread... here is the one to this project... http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewto ... 42&start=0 Brought it as a padock hack for $70.00 Converted it to round headlights with some other gaurds and gave it a quick primmer paint ready for a VIN. mmm new plates. Here it is soon after i got it. New primmer I then changed the 1300 to a 1600kent and put mk2 sport discs and adjustable suspension in and brought some new wheels. Sounds and GTX seats. New Wheels Got sick of the old Kent and went for a 2lpinto with a slight cam, rejetted carb and an exhaust system. The old girl could now leave decent rubber marks.... Time for a new paint job and sent it into the shop for a 6month metal spray in a custom silver/blue/gold/ pearl. Also changed the seats to SiR bucket seats. In painters Finished. Decided the 2l needed to go or a turbo bolted on so started sourcing parts and reaserching for pinto turbo. After a few months changed plan and decided that the turbo pinto was not quite enough power for me. I have now decided to take the car of the road for a year or two and do the mother of all conversions a SR20det. Have started to buy parts for this conversion and have a mechanic all lined up. Will keep you all updated as i get the car out of the garage and into the workshop to be sliced and diced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
