Not normally like me, never owned an NA but the car came up for sale, & I couldnt leave it there.  
This project is going to be a next to no budget build, something to give my track Adub a run for its money, I purchased it for next to nothing, engine requires rebuilding, plan to have it on the track in next month of 2.
 
Again, another 2 that has been defected, it will never hit Adelaide streets again, so that always help with the decision of prepping it for a dedicated track car. 
 
Engines out already, interior stripped, will fit some light weight 17' wheels, decent racing pads / fluid, rebuild engine, install... hit the track asap.
 



 
More to come..
 

Far better than seeing another one ending up at the wreckers..

What was the defect for?

What was the defect for?

Too low, suspension, oil leaks, front bar, exhaust dba, etc, etc.  I wouldnt even be interested in spending the $250 odd to book it in for the inspection required to clear it.

Run some Casa shocks in it :D

Run some Casa shocks in it :D

Already got a set of new shocks for it. (helps working for Monroe Australia).

 Update:
 
Finally got around to stripping down the old tired 3sge engine...  Another one where someone has ran extremely low oil, or none at all.
 
Cylinder bores & pistons are in excellent condition - should hone up nicely.

 
Head looks ok, conrod bearing not so good - either is the crankshaft.

 
Clutch is in need of replacement.. new kit is one on its way, fly wheel has just been machine / faced.

 
New oil & water pump are on their way.

 
Will get the gearbox assessed, hopefully just need to install new axle seals & gear oil.

 
More to come.

Looks like you're having lots of fun :)

yeah, trying to have this ready for our next track day (mallala) in July.  Should be good competition for the Aw11.

Quick update:
 
 
Started tearing it apart, removing lights, front bar, exhaust, etc..

 

 
 
Prepped the engine bay..... whilst it waits for it new heart beat. l
 
Then started on the interior, door skins, centre console, roof lining, carpet....
 

 
 
Out came the air con unit, evaporator, all ducting, any unwanted wiring cut out.

 
 
Cut a bit off the dash, installed the bear essentials, dash cluster & factory clock.

 
 
Fitted light weight 17' Work wheels, how it sits currently till I get all engine components back.

 
More to come!
