My 2012 R32 Project

[skinnynphats200]

Well.......I bought this off Jay & Bob after Punchestown 11. It was a pretty standard car that was stripped out and had the following bits on it;

Bolt in cage, seat, hydro, front mount, fuel pump, Coilovers, a welder and custom turbo back exhaust courtesy of jay and bob. It is a good straight car with a healthy heart!

Here are a few starter pics of how the car sits at the moment

Looking sorry fot itself in the garage


I came a bit too close one too many times :-( big thanks to Gem for sorting it after the third time! The whole quarter was demolished after the last tap of the tyre bales in Mondello and he managed to get it straight again and put the original shape back into it.



Here are a few pictures of the suspension parts that I put into the car back in August....S13 subframe, solid alloy mounts, polybush drop links, adjustable rear toe, camber and traction arms

Plans

Fit all of the above parts once they arrive and give the car a good service. I then want to remove all the sound deadening and paint interior.
When I have all that sorted I would like to get some 50mm wings and overfenders, some sort of a kit, a full respray.
My main focus at the moment is on handling and performance and once I have the car setup properly I will look in to getting the car resprayed and if funds allow some nice jap dishu rims.

It is inevitable that my plans will change as I progress with the build though so nothing is set in stone as of yet

Thanks for looking I will keep the thread updated as often as I can
