Make a gear ****
Put new bushing caps on tie rod ends and get new locking nuts

i guess you can see my ghetto mods for the week lol i have bunged some of the holes in the floor and fire wall, spot welded my sun roof in place, rattle gunned my rear axles up tight, made a gear ****, started making a brake master stopper, took the radiator out to get it different necks welded on, cleaned and painted the block with heat proof saturn black for the stealth look... depowered my steering rack welded hole shut and painted
1 week down 4 to go next week i will be mounting the fpr and oil catch can most likely they will get painted black lol, make a seat mount because for some reason seats i bought second hand only came with 3 seat mounts, need to bung three more holes, get new tie rod ends and extra angle spacers put all the steering back together
o and that wooden thing in the photos was a trolley a made to try and wheel the car in and out of my tiny garage so i had some room in there but it failed the wheels cant support the weight and dont turn around lol so i will be making steel wheels for it soon
enjoy and laugh haha

Yip not many non turbo FC in NZ.seem to be prevalent in the US .I have gilmer gears on my FC but I'm running a standard donk/turbo apart from that.
I do miss my aircon though i must admit,kept the PS.
For my FC replacing the original factory 1990 exhaust for a twin stainless system made the biggest difference, teins all 4 corners made the difference on the track.
nice ride.what colour you thinking??
judging by the wheels in the front guards this is going to be either a pure racecar or are you fitting flares??
