Kenn Finn's Motor

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.

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..

HI ,

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

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.

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

Have you had this issue?

[kennyboy]

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!

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

maybe even longer fookin hell eh.

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

[kennyboy]

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.
