Hahaha, Linton, you might be the only one who hasn't been sucked into the world of facebook, and that is awesome! I tried staying away, but couldn't!
Scoota G, thanks a bunch for putting up some of the pics!
I actually bought it with the rb25det already in it. (would have loved to have the original engine and transmission, as the car would be officially given a classic status).
The hood mod was a real dissapointing one to me. I would've loved the smooth dip of the bonnet to remain. But the guy claimed that it had to be done because the RB engine got really hot, and needed air cooling.
Along with that, came a bucket load of rust underneath. Floor panels, rocker panels, firewall, etc etc. So had the heart removed and the car is now being worked on. I wanna enjoy driving it, so ensuring that it's fully safe to do so!
MaygZ, The leather interior was one of the few good things done to the car. Simple in black, it was done well. So thankfully nothing to do on the inside apart from replacing the carpetting that was ripped out.
Missing front signals, dodgy rubber/weatherstrips are all the hiccups that the car came with, but it's all good! Just hoping to find some way to sort these out without having to sell another kidney, haha.
Any advice/tips/ ideas are more than welcome!
