what was the crack with the ppc feature, did will want to do a group one or just mine? I have also emailed him, stating that you've just been in touch, they were interested in your car.

loving the pics. great build thread. and to be honest, i like the raw ratiness of it. i bet its the look combined with whats under the bonnet that shocks the hell out of some people... it will almost be a shame to see it in new paint one day. was wondering if you ever got stopped/hassled by the rozza's? i'm married to a copper so all the local cops know my car. they even asked her to go to work in it when it was done, so they could have a good nose at it!

i got lots of kids giving me the v's and ripping me when im at junctions but to be fair i dont get much attention from the police. I think the whole numberplate recognition thing when they radio through to find if the cars taxed mot'd etc. Also it could be that it looks that bad i, surely i wouldn't have the cheek to drive it if anything was wrong with it haha.

wasnt too bad, just a bit of chopping really. not hard, just one of those things that takes a bit of time. right, quick update of today's work. im trying to do a bit each day, no matter how small to keep it progressing. cleaned up all the bits for paint and chopped up the cam cover as im not running a std belt cover so thought i'd neaten it up a bit before after the grinder all the calipers stripped bare as poss, rubbers removed etc and cleaned up plus tank, swirl pot and inlet all loaded up in the car ready to take to work for my mate to collect. car's stinkin of fuel now

i might be using a z20let in my kadett, instead of a 200sx motor.

its an omega one out of a v6. Quite cheap to come by and meant to be strong. Hydraulic clutch and no speedo drive are the only things u need to consider
