Finally... My original 12A turbo is back from paint!
 
Just in from paint, and its still missing some parts, like the front window surrounds and decent mirrors.. But its getting there!

Nice paint job. Do you have any interior shots?

mortenf 04-17-06 04:10 PM

No interior shots right now, but its pretty much standard inside. Pretty good condition and it has the steering wheel on the wrong side. The only thing thats different from a 79 is that it has an original boost meter under the tacho.

very nice!!! being under a flourecent light would make it look amazing

Hmm.. the old car in my avatar, is sad to say gone.. I started sanding it down and basically found out that it wasnt worth throwing any more of my hard earned cash into it... Sad to say, its now in parts down at the shop.. Good thing tough, is that the money i made selling the engine and various other parts just about covered the 12A turbo.

More pics to come as progress continues!

Plans are:
- New plenum
- Exhaust
- FMIC

All the parts are just lying around, but i have been really busy lately, helping one of my friends finish his 800 BHP RX2. (Yes, i said 800!) Pics to come, we just started it up this evening, and its a monster! 13B REW, Supra gearbox, coilovers and lots more, REALLY makes this car special!

For those of you interested in more, have a look at www.simtechracing.no. The pictures there shows the car with just a measly 600 BHP 12A turbo, but you get the picture!

Looks great, Morten! ...or BEAUTIFUL might actually be a better word!?
Keep up the good work!!!

inuissus_cendi 04-23-06 05:24 PM

wow... looks great. I love silver FBs. Though your last one was awesome too. Where'd you get those wheels by the way? (on the new one) are they 4x110? or did the 12a turbo get the SE pattern?
