Hey all,
Got a few spare minutes for once and Ive been lurking long enough so I thought I'd throw up a thread for the sdub,bought it off this forum a little over a year ago now,It was a bad colour and a little rough around the edges but was sound mechanically and a good base to start with.All  the mods have taken place over the last 12 months.
specs are:
1990 SW20 GT turbo hard top
Home made 3"downpipe,OBX b pipe,apexi super megaphone muffler (sensible sized tips fitted) Really trying to keep this one as legal as possible.
Ebay cooler kit with spal thermo fan
HDI EBC
Bigger cold air feed from the side scoop to the airbox
Blitz BOV (home modified to be plumb back)
Tein Flex coilovers (came on the car)
Swaybar reo plates
SSR professor sp1 17x7.5/8.5
Bridgestone Potenza boots
LOOKS:
Top stage front lip
Trust skirts
Rev 5 rear spoiler
Deleted antenna
94 tails
Full respray in Ferrari F40 Rosso corsa
Inside:
Redline goods tan leather dash,door trims and console/lids,gearboot
j's racing gearknob
Momo wheel
Custom centre panal with 3 60mm gauges instead of the centre vents
TRD cluster
Pioneer indash screen with vehicle dynamics proccesor
JL audio splits
Pioneer flat sub
Coustic 4ch amp
Tan leather seats to match the rest are in the post to me now.
It may not be perfect as all the body work (aside from laying on the final colour,which was done by my brother in law) and interior was done by yours truly in a tiny little shed (and believe me,i'm no tradesman)
Future plans are a new turbo to get a little more poke out of it and an emanage to delete the AFM and tidy up the AF a little and thats it....im finally happy just to drive and enjoy it.
Pics will follow asap.
hope to bring it to a meet soon
cheers shayne

Whoa! Very good work with the tranformation. I thought you bought a different car when I was scrolling down. If those are NSW plates, would love to see it at the next meet.
 
$400 for a respray has to be a new forum record. Ben/Jaemus got ripped off! lol
 
Take a bow......another SW20 gone from rags to riches.
