Didn't know you were using an LM1. I was gonna buy an LM1, but from looking at one decided it was too large. So I opted for one that contained it all with in a 52mm gauge.

Nice shiney paint jobby! Any pics of the motor ?

s13eater 11-05-2007 14:46

:cool: ken nice and retro mate.:)

PukkaSilvia 11-05-2007 22:12

How has that interior colour been added to the seats and door cards?


Its nice. I think it could look good with some writing down the side like the two tone rsx has as standard. Hows the turbo situation going?

s12Rob 12-05-2007 01:13

nice eg of a mk2 there

kennyboy 12-05-2007 01:15

Cheers
 
Thanks for that guys, Jon the material was bought for 15 quid and then i stripped the door cards to bits to re-trim them and the seat covers had to be stripped and the material sown over the top of the old seat centres etc then stiched back together fooking nightmare.looks well though.:D

the big turbo has now had a full u.k re-furb and is for sale for 350 ish, cost me over that but just want to get rid as going in a differnt direction now , happy with the power i have got .I have put another t3 on it for time being and cleaned the manifold up inside so should be o.k for now .:) :)

Pics of the motor to follow just doing bits and bobs under there at the mo..;)

Nice and Low
 
HI ,

Car looks nice and low - I agree that some drift style decals may look good on it.

Front suspension bits and bobs
 
Well as i am off work i thought i might aswell get started on the front end

s13 hubs and brakes( drilled and grooved discs with good pads)
s13 struts with lowering springs
s13 bottom arms
Camber top mounts aswell

will keep you guys up to date.

:) :)

30psi 31-05-2007 00:43

I heard that coz the S13 springs are wider they won't fit into the S12 towers.

Have you had this issue?

kennyboy 31-05-2007 09:05

Front suspension bits and bobs
 
Will tell you as soon as i start, they are a bit wider ?

Yep - Looking good Ken! - Lot of work put into that, and it's the little touches that make it unique!

Good to see she's coming along!

My motor
 
Cheers Den , I reckon as pukka once said i will probs never get rid of it i worked it out the other day and i reckon i have had this one for about 7 years, lol :D :D

maybe even longer fookin hell eh.

:D :D

terry 03-06-2007 16:55

looks great, love the rear of it, how did you do the lights? they look well

kennyboy 04-06-2007 17:42

Rear lights
 
Quite easy mate really and cheers for the comments, i got two stainless tubes made for each side then cut two holes per side, slid the tubes into the holes then put the lights in from behind and secured them in .I then fibreglassed and fillered each side, a very good coating of spray filler then two pack primer then top coat.
The only thing i would do different if i was doing it again, i would make it so i did not have to slightly trim the rear panel to get them in . A lesson learned i reckon.
They dont weigh too much either which is good.:) :)

Spot on shaun
 
lol Just like that but done forget to seal the front a bit better than i did so they dont crack round the edges, You can fill it with paint like but still looks o.k and my light units were 2.99 each front a wagon lol.
Shaun good idea with the insulation foam i used that on the side skirts underneath.:D :D

kennyboy 06-06-2007 08:21
