Take one full project 20v blacktop turbo kp60

 

 

 

[Dudley]

Proceed to sell everything junk related off it and be left with a bare shell?

[Dudley]

Decided the previous owner had a monkey slapping cymbols in his head istead of a brain, and now it’s time to de butcher the car with some fresh butchery 

[Dudley]

First order of business, old m8 installed a hilux diff, he then decided the chassis rail was in the way so he cut the whole bottom off that, which means you cannot bolt up a fuel tank anymore, and it’s missing a bloody chassis rail

[Dudley]

Turn welder to max booger mode and buzz a rail in

[Dudley]

[Dudley]

Then decide that his super sweet fire wall mods should also go, so chopped that crap out and zinged another fire wall In

[Dudley]

Next step add heater, loom dash etc

 

shout out @AE25 for the bugeye loom parts, looking forward to the update on the four door bugeye mate

[Dudley]

Big block 5k added to the fold

[Dudley]

Do some illegal welding moves to get some free low

At this point I was reading the oldschool how to exhaust thread, in conclusion I needed a 3” exhaust.

luckily for him I work with the sensei himself @kprand I basically raided his scrap bin for his old half exhaust  

[Dudley]

Old mate also cut the seat mounts out and welded a half round piece of tube accross, so zinged some og ones back in

[Dudley]

He also decided to do a pro move, he drilled the strut towers out so the old coilover setup could slip past and get free low, he then removed the studs from the top hats and used some good ol Bunnings hardware to fast the struts in,

once again I zinged some og steel back in

[Dudley]

Bought the cheapest chinesium rad I could, kpr then changed outlets with his fancy new tig to suit,

I also whipped up a shroud for a electric fan

[Dudley]

Managed to get it a wof, one year after bringing it home 

[Dudley]

Then daily drive it, kris gave it a full diz twist and it made 81 hp atw on his dyno

haz did his best sassy the Sasquatch rendition in the car

[Dudley]

Then, I got repeatedly bullied by friends for my ride height, so I enlisted the dynamic duo of @kpr and everyone’s “favorite” Barry at mrp for some coilovers and rcas 
crisk proceeded to tig them to cert? Standard and give them a lovely livery

then slammed it on 175 50 13s

[Dudley]

Then I went dooooooortin added some dhlas, ran good made 3hp more then the downdraft dcd weber so defo not a giant waste of money 

[Dudley]

Kris then did a bunch of head work for a single smoko shout,
