Got some done.. Still a long way.. First i ment just mod the car so itd be deasent to drive

Brake master is still not installed, heater/fan also seats not seated. Corrosion control as trying to stop or remove almost done. Rear side door windowframes were prit-ty rusted, just managed to save em. Helper is doin all the exhaust and new tank.. Engine is taking time. List goes on.

Has anyone any good ideas for good and small brake set, pedals and master? No brembos, please . Ive got one now from mk3 transit but easier install always welcome..

Im glad you asked this transitandy, especially this week

Past weeks, fresh air intake mold for heater, rear brakes assembled, radiator brakets done, spackling front bumpers and plates to mid. Heeps of fiberglass work to come and fuel lines/filters to front.. Fiberglass, im first timer to work with and its taking time..

This weeks theme is fuel lines n fuel tank , finished last night 21:30.

Just joined the forum, nice project.

Is the v4 engine going back in or are you fitting some thing with more power?


Cheers Brett

I swapped the v4 for parts.. Theres 350 dx olds diesel going in with turbo . Hoping for decent mileage with that.. In some pics you can see olds block sitting there, which is empty inside thou for lower weight. Actual engine is waiting in other place for install.
