project reckless s13

[alan opel]

righto said id through up a few piccies off the latest project. the pennies are tight on this one, selling my old vectra runabout, and the funds from that are to finish this wagon. i got it cheap as the big ends were knocking, the shell is very clean, but the piantwork is shocking, laquer peelling twelve diff shade of gold and a few scrapes, but no dents thank god. the plan is paint a few bits up black, some 15" ssr's and drop it on the floor(i mean on the floor!) here's a few pics

[alan opel]

first job was to inspect the damage dropped the subframe a little and pulled sump off


this bearing is snapped in half!


got some spats and skirts, ended up swapping these skirts for different ones as these kouki ones i got had no front piece.


then got some rimmage
need a good clean but im happy with them

rears have 3 inch dish and fronts 2.5"


then set about painting the bootlid, roof, spats, skirts, front lights and the front splitter. its not the prettiest looking but i like it!




next task is to get crank back, get engine back together, fit new box as the old one is crunching in 4th, get some 60mm springs and lob a coil off them witht he grinder, fit exhaust, weld diff, and she'll be good to go also have a volvo ic there for it, and theres a t28 on it, might get a horshem chip soon if one comes up cheap! thats it for now!

I like where this is going! Do everything black though I'd say!

[alan opel]

there is a baffle in the sump already, but i take it thats a std one? ill try get a pic

ah doubt ill go all black, i only did it this way as i didnt want to paint all the stuff gold, trying to match colours an shit, the black was only a tenner for the two cans, and i employed nikkisixx69 off here to sand everything for some tea and biscuits!
