Apologies for being distant with the updates! So my electrical friend popped round and sorted the wiring gremlins out. Unfortunately changed my phone so i have lost a few photos Most of the car is now complete, the rear light clusters were completely stripped down as the contacts where causing...

Finally got round to starting some work on the car. Still waiting for a few bits to arrive, a seal kit for one as the front windscreen seal leaks, and to also tidy up the car all round. It is missing the front and rear chrome trims however. Ordering parts from america at the moment seem to be...

Low light is a nice motor! Friend of mine (who i do alot of car bits and making parts with) has a lowlight Although photo taken years ago its currently around 50% complete and being taken back to full stock

Yep I totally agree, however stock as the car was originally from california. They dont look so bad in the flesh! It was a T6 car, 30k or so miles on it. Shame, they are really picking up pace in value terms, it looks great however, sits very nice

I agree with you, thats what got my interested in drifting in the first place, however the uk is so far behind, most venues are banger circuits or venues in each corner of the world and far to many cars held together with zip ties and satin paint to be taken seriously! Hi, do you still have...

Yep, drifting I find is very pikie and has an awful name at the moment in the uk I love doing it as it's fun but I am slightly embarrassed to talk about it.....yes hard to find with no rust hence why I needed up with a non sunroof touring! Yes it's ok, it's off the pace of a similar spec e30...

Sorry, force of habit, baby and wedding put a halt to that briefly, i still call it my race car - should change that I competed in the British Drift Championship but also do demos at shows, i enjoy the drifting as a fun thing rather then competitive. My car is Bmw e30 that runs a 4.0 Bmw...

Ill snap some shots of the rear end too Rob, maybe easier once its up on a ramp!

I should also add, the conversion has actually been quite well. I'm not baised as it's our own car, I could rip apart my race car! Granted it's not to the detail of a lot of modern builds but it has been well thought out. Only the front pulleys sit Infront of the front axle and a nicely...

So slight update. Dad and I worked through a few bits and bobs on the car. More at the moment is making a list of parts needed to get the car up and ready for an mot. Starting off in the engine bay we had to find the engine code. On a small block ford it's located just above the starter motor...

Ill take some photographs of tonight, just promise you all wont laugh!! Id imagine, especially this set a jz/rb would walk away from it. Plan to be enjoyable rather then quick (until theres at least a manual box in it)....cant believe i said that as it goes against everything i have built in...

Yea, as said I have just been tainted by seeing failures a lot, call it bad luck!! Out of interst what box did you use on the jz?

Ok great, thanks for the infomation, its really very useful!

Not sure if this has been posted up, but its worth a watch. These are two of the editors from Hot Rod Magazine in the states https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcjC00J8FaM If your bored, all the other videos are great too!

Yep i completely agree with you. I have a thing for flared arches.... The rear arches have been cut welded and undersealed within an inch of their life, however the car came with some stock arches - so it could go either way. Out of interest do you know what arches they are? Certainly be...

Did you manage to get someone to sort these? I have a good and cheap cnc shop i use for alot of parts for my company and i could probably bundle it in on a order if you like?

Ill do that! Thanks

Your build is fantastic, i have just lost most of my morning reading this! Im sorry to hear about your son, but hope he has a good recovery.

Thanks! Yes the rear bumper isnt the greatest, ill say it doesnt look as bad when your near the car (more then likely as your looking down on it!!) Have a friend in Florida at the moment thats on his way to hopefully collect a rear bumper today! Yes ill be along to meets, if its local to...

Should say more then likely the motor will change in the future, but it'll do for now....
