Brought it as a padock hack for $70.00 :P 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.

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.

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. :twisted:

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.

Since im bored ill post up a bit more.

Since b4. have decided to rebuild a 2l cheaply for now to get a warrent and roll to Welly in while i save for parts.

The rebuild will be cheap as since i have all the parts here and am only paying maybe a few hundy for reboring and grinding of crank.

Its a 2l block with ported 1600head. will run at 10.3 compression

2l valves

FR cam (specs below on yellow card)

Secondhand pistons 60tho (best set i had)

New bearings etc etc

Lightened flywheel
