i can get more £ for it in parts Duncan. Over 3k.
Theres no way im getting a a booted one either. Im pretty good with carbs these days so i will probably put it on some 45s with slightly larger cams and a decent 2 1/4 inch exhaust.
I think i will stay with the 4age due to long term value and heritage now but I have race bucket seats,race tanks,fire extinguisher systems,harnesses,..... you name it all coming out my ears(not literally). So that and with fibreglass panels ie bonnet,hatch etc it should make it extremely quick.
my black s12 was a great project but its not the kind of car im into anymore due to my work mostly. It is too far gone modified to take it back and start it again in a new genre,ive been thinking of doing this for a while but wanted to do jae with it finished. Also I dont see spending say 1k on a respray on a corrolla as false economy as i do with the silvia
This is also why i will keep my next s12 completely standard but in showroom condition.I know the one im getting next wont need a respray for a start. Its been garaged all its life.
