EdifGee 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2010 For some reason I've always wanted a dirty 30 coupe, no interior and in white with painted bottle caps as a gravel hack. I wish mine was a coupe. My mate has a 316 coupe with no interior and a 1800 motor in it and its sick as Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdifGee 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2010 Who's doing the panel/paint work on it? I got a mate that works at supreme auto Masterton. he's going to help me out but other than that i'm giving it a crack. done rust work before and heaps of painting. But yeah its pretty much Backyard customs. Thats how we do. hahah Will put pics up after the motor is out and started paint work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdifGee 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2010 Been a month. Heaps of work done best update the photos. All speaks for it self. The head is currently at the engineers getting pressure tested and crack tested and a light plane and then its back to me. Also getting a double stack head gasket made to handle the turbo.. all goes well... New wheels and tires are on the car. Suspension is being sourced. interior is getting the roll cage done. and fixed back bucket seats being mounted to the original rails. all goes well should be running after new years! But im just being optomistic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll just keep out of it though.. good luck Issues is just a list that slowly goes smaller. I'm loving this project though everyone that knows about it reckons its a waste. If you saw my first project then this is miniscule compared. Cheers though. Everyones intitled to their 2c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdifGee 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Did you arc weld the bonnet? Very macgyver haha Nah it was mig welded. But it was a gasless mig and it was haggard as lol. The cage was welded up hotter and cleaner it was just blowing holes in the bonnet Also might add that just bought a Turbo manifold thanks to chris. mine is still being made but thats all good.
