Just back inside from actually working on this thing. Sound deadener all under rear seat and have started on the wheel arches and rear quarter panels. Gonna have to buy more of the stuff I suspect to complete the car. But itl be worth it, I did auckland to chch in it and good god, the noise! Also have like 6 layers of underseal everywhere so it should be all good. I hope.
Depending on income will buy some nice new brake pads this weekend and big in the whole test fit with rims etc, grind a bit... test again. ....grind a bit more.
Also on a sad note my bored out stroker motor idea is canned. Not enough material between cylinders lower down in the block.
So now........ (eventually after the car is finished)......
QG18DE Block with a GA16DE Head ported/honed etc to suit the new piston size. Yet to figure out the right gbox. Will try locate a rwd ga16 one, but omfg so hard to find. Chasing a guy up north at a wreckers currently.
