MaxPower Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 easy part done now,like doing this bit,its the finishing part that i struggle with,have got the paint from another project that i mixed up years ago that just happens to be a close match,haven't sprayed much 2 pack before so well see how she turns out,can always satin black it if i fuck it up. am after some 14" sigma wagon steelies if anyone is hoarding any. these rims are 13"s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 could put this in,been slowly building it up over the past year, vr4 block oilling mods,balance shafts removed,new pistons,bearings etc,evo 3 head,arp head studs,new valves, have made a top mount twin scroll turbo manifold to suit the evo 4 turbo,but can't afford 2 external wastegates right now. looks like theres room for a windsor though have a sohc 2L prob just put that in there for now and get it driving asap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 think these were delivery vehicles? has a different back seat compared to my old sigma wagons,folds down easier,has a high stop light in the back id like to bin,has a 4 speed box that will go in the same bin,use a normal 5 speed.looks like it has a ten bolt rear diff too so thats a bonus as i didn't think they came out this early. will look around for an earlier front end (round headlights like my other one.) no rush though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
