ke25_ Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well its been a while since an update, Iv now shifted places so have somewhere sheltered to work on my starlet, everything I dont need has been removed, all bolts were cracked for the 1st time .There is NO rust, the car is pretty much flawless , The engine loom has been removed to be cut down and wired into starlet, gearbox split from motor reveals a mint as factory nissan clutch but I will be replacing this with a heavy duty exceedy in the next few weeks, the motor is ready to go straight in, then I will have so cut a hole further back in the tunnel for the shifter and modify the gearbox crossmember to suit, then diff upgrade will begin, couple of pics I haven't even cleaned the engine bay I will be taking extra extra care to keep all paint intact and not chip or scratch while motor is being installed got wheels finished and tyres on them, bit of modivation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
