Will it be ready in time

[suprmek1]

Ill start with a little bit of back ground into it. Being only 21 I thought I'd never afford it but I brought my 1st 200 in aug off EGAY for £340, it had been ported induction kit dump valve and ss exhaust. Wanted to put it on the road but was to rotten so after alot of welding I gave up and got another for £320, it had a bad engine so simple swap and some solid bushes got an mot happy days........

Well i quickly got bored so put on a ss manifold boost valve and stage 1 chip was great till bang few weeks later botom ends had gone

So I decided I was going to go all out head first and do it properly so got some money together and this is how im doing.

Car as i got it (face lift)

[Dori Edd]

Heavy

Unlucky with the previous 200 incarnations, looks like this should be a bit more solid though

And welcome to Driftworks

Looking good.

How come your doing the work on the trailer?

[Nick]

trailer is easier than jack and axle stands.

[mammoth]

where did you get the stroker kit from?

Dint get much done today as only had a few hours befor work and was sorting out builders for my garage for my new drifter ordered some more parts tho should be here shortly ill have all the parts for the 8th of feb lots of pics then.

Cut out for boot latch again using points from supports.


Washed the surface off used card to support bak of hole and fibre filled over it

done the same but around the bonnet pin out line will finish it all off tomo hopefully.

got the head stripped down will get some pics up soon. got to get the ports machined to match gaskets then will be porting full myself full posts on this will be done soon.

[Baba]

I will be keeping an eye on this one
Can I ask why you chose to build a 2ltr ca instead of going SR? Dont get me wrong I have a ca too and will be keeping it.

[suprmek1]

CA Is so much better NOT HAVING THE ARGUEMENT YET AGAIN but it is
The SR 2ltr isnt as good as the CA 2ltr so id end up stroking a SR to 2.2 any how, and insurance reasons they wont know its a 2ltr crank

OH, your arse must be sore after the Strap on man dug his money hungry cock in your arse.

Mate I feel sorry for your ring peice.

Nice project mate, don't buy Strap on though, your getting raped!!

And please remove the gash rear lights, please!!

[suprmek1]

I like the lights unless any one wants to donate some kouki ones they stay. Dint do to much today cut the doors down and fin the boot will do a big update on sunday.

Id rather be ass rapped by snap on than pay his rediculous prices but the tools are well worth it when you use them every day got even more today!

[suprmek1]

Been a long weekend but got a fair bit done:
Got the doors cut down, boot finished, preped the interior for seam welding, booked the car in for its full 8 point cage on the 17th of feb cutting it close.

so hears the pics and how i did it all.

first i stripped the doors down from spare car.


cut around edge just leaving for the door card poppers to clip in.



cut out crash bar this is what was removed.


I have to say dont do this on a road car unless its fully caged because it takes out all your side impact.

Finished off the boot masked it off.


it started to rain so i made a cover for myself and sprayed it.


finished spray


drilled hole for bolts siliconed around edge and bolted in.


Drilled a pilot hole down though the latch, drilled out to the right size, bolt in pin, had to bend into position which took a while then tightend up when all sorted out.


Cut out old latch bracket.

[suprmek1]

On to the interior:

tools used. and the all important hifi.


Stripped out interior.


Drilled out the spots on any un needed brackets, then chisled off.



Brushed on the nitro morse paint stripper


left to blister as per intructions. brush in more this only took 5 min such an easy way to it.


While it had to soak in for 20 min i got the white spirit out and removed the rest or the tar soaked it with a sponge, srcapped it off then scrubbed it off with the sponge. wipped over with paper towel.



Got the wire brusah on the drill cost £3 from b&q bargin cleaned off pealing paint then swept up and wiped clean with white spirit.



didnt take long and i had the whole car done just my battery ran out so ill get some more pics tomorro
