Here is a pic of the headers for Racean69 and ToranaZ. Engine and front end had just been rolled out from under the donor car. Bit of a clean and a dress up kit made the engine look brand new.

I have updated Nutboy's project by adding some progress pics of the interior. The trimmer is fitting four recaros, effectively making the rear bench seat into two buckets. The head liner and carpet have also been fitted. Once the rear seat and boot have been trimmed the car is complete.

No worries 253ToranaSS, I remember seeing your car being built in the old forums, you've done an awesome job.

I was watching the trimmer making up the rear seat buckets by modifying the original seat and fabricating the recaros into the steel frame. Took many hours with heaps of trial fittings but definitely worth the effort.

ALX76, mate your too kind, Nutboy's car is better than mine I made sure he didn't make any of the mistake I did :D ,made some new ones instead :spoton:. Besides I have already had my 15 mins, cheers.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. I had some great ideas and it was only possible with the help of GMH355 so i take my hat of to him. I built the car to enjoy it and it will hit the streets very soon im just finishing off some loose ends, so if you see it cruising around dont hesitate to have a closer look. :D

I hope those seats have a pocket or two, where you can put sticks to beat off low lifes who get too close. That interior is going to be magic!

:spoton: Looks tops. Hope you get it finished soon so you can start enjoying it. Good to see some one who put in all that hard work and wants to use the car and not just leave it at home where other can't enjoy seeing it as well.

It's complete. Nutboy is rapt with the result and I don't blame him. This car has quite a presence and attracts a lot of attention when he drives it, even more so when his missus is behind the wheel. Its actually HER car :D.

Another hot Torrie back on the street where it belongs :spoton: .
