Hey folks,
Bout time I post in this thread.
I recently bought Paull's old ET. I plan on giving her a new lease on life.
This is what she used to look like....
(Paull, I hope you don't mind I nicked a few of your pix?)
....This is how she looks now.

Yeah, she needs a bit of work, but I've seen worse....
Well I plan on giving her a full resto with subtle mods. I'd love to re-fit the RRC motor, but I need to get the intake manifold for it but I'm put prepared to pay the ridiculous prices some people ask. So it may just roll with the BRC motor.
The body & paint will stock with rolled guards. The rims will be the S12 Silvia (Gazelle) that I have on her now. She has grooved Prairie rotors already, aswell as Koni/King combo (f&r). I'll just add the Whiteline f&r sway bars I have.
The main objective will be a clean & legal stock looking ET, as I will be giving her to the Missus...

Well progress has been slow....
RRC Intake manifold arrived this week, thanks to Pulsar-Man.
Timing Belt Cover.
Notched rear control arms re-welded them at work this week.
Bushes will get pressed out next week, then I have to get Nolathane bushes for them. I brought new wheel bearings this week. I already have new rotors & calipers. I will get it all painted before assembly.
I also want to get new handbrake cables made up & braided brake lines.
