Sdub track car in the prepping...
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..

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.

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.

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!

Jebus Cli Mike. You are a mover an shaker !!!!!!!!
I really really like the light weight bits of string in engine bay. Gives me BAD ideas.
You gotta get rid of that superfluous heavy looking ignition key though mate.
Cheers.
