karlb Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Well this is my beast that i am currently building. Brought it old a lady who had it passed down from there grandparents. Got it for one hell of a deal well its a 1600cc 5 speed GSL EX at the moment it is completely stock standard within the first week i had it pulled the windscreen out and repaired both a-pillars of a little bit of rust. pressed up a sheet of metal and tig-ed her all up. First things I brought for it was a nice set of 13x7 hotwires. and now this is what it looks like HIGH ROLLER lol. next thing on the list to do asap SLAM IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlb Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 well I haven't been able to do much work on it till today and have achieved a job well done. Brought some E30 Superlow kings and chucked them in minus 1.5 coils and still captive so i threw on the hotties and looks mean!!!only 1 little hick up............... the 13x7s on the front are a little bit wide and need to pump the guards out about 10mm. its still running a bit of positive camber so will be making up a pair of camber plates to pull it negative. will get some pics up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlb Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 heres the pics of what i done over the weekend Standard suspension with the hotties on And with the superlow E30 springs and hotties The rear is still standard as im waiting for my shocks to arrive this week. Doesnt look like its lowered it very much because there only 13X7 with 215/50 eagers.with my oz 16"s on the guard was laying over the tyre by 5mm. And measurement between cross member and road 108mm as you can see the front wheels are sticking out a little bit about 20mm what is a way i can pull them in a bit?

karlb Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 heres a bit of an update. got this last week and got it in the garage finally and pulled out the 1600 and started pulling the front end apart, ready to do a lil rust repair thanks to the poor setup of the window washer bottle and radiator bottle. And seam welding the engine bay wth full panel and paint. the other week i fitted new carpet. but not very happy how it turned out had to modify it a fair bit just to get it fitting right. so a the moment talking to autodec to try and get it sorted out. Brought some Evo 4 rear seats and dummy fitted them to see how much modifying will be need. the back part is pretty straight forward to go in just have to make a couple of new hooks where it looks into. but the bottom part is going to need a bit of shortnening and shaping around the wheel arches a bit to push them back. Now today the plan is to pull the motor out of the sigma and start stripping it for a rebuild. any pointers and help with this build up would be greatlly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
