Kel's Super Turbo Super Build

[r33_racer]

So extend the garage or build a dedicated car shed.....problem solved mate!

[Duncan]

lol I've just spent the last 3 years building a house with a 6 car garage It's just a question of leaving some work space. If I remember correctly, you have some brilliant workspace in a couple of different sheds, I'd kill for that

[Duncan]

ads 80s style

and yes, for the kids who are wondering, Tom Cruise *was* cool in the 80s.

need update.

[dontyellpl0x]

Haha watched all the mighty car mods videos about 6 months ago. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this! Awesome little car. Need some updates

[Duncan]

sorry I didn't give an actual update. after a short time sitting around this has kicked along again. 50,000 new hoses ordered from a ST lunatic in japan and the old engine is out. need to assemble new engine, replace heaps and get it rolling again.

unfortunately I have a "too many projects" issue. while this is a cool little car it is not first on the list (3rd, actually, behind finishing the ute, and the race car)

I'll take the little March!

may or may not end up with a 308 in it.......

update?

[Duncan]

nah pretty sure there is no update. It would be nice to having it running again one day.

on the upside but only indirectly related, the ute is finished, it's running nicely. now onto the race car

[tweety bird]

i see.

goes to race car thread looking for an update..

[MBS206]

There is no race car thread for the race car...

Engine out time on GTR? Need a hand?

[Duncan]

ahh yeah will do in a few weeks....need to get something finished in the garage thread first. I'll let you know

working away from home really f**ks up working on stuff at night.

[Duncan]

oh, and yeah, the race car never really got a build thread. it was kind of built before the internet was invented. plus there was very little building, just lots of rebuilding HA HA HA.

here it was the day I picked it up

[tweety bird]

Wrong race car thread is wrong race car thread...


Why you have some many race cars that don't work?

Wait...


New race car thread?

[tweety bird]

damn you duncan i just reread this thread and know i want one of these for myself.

again damn you.

[tweety bird]

is this car this car in this video lol?

looks like it.

[Duncan]

yeah mate it's the same car, we bought it from Marty. I knew it was rare but didn't realise it was famous until later.

there is one other registered ST I know of up in Brisbane, but it is also off the road for a rebuild at the moment AFAIK.

[zebra]

I think this car doesnt really exist.

[tweety bird]

I think this car doesnt really exist.

There're rumours of a re spray however the lack of pics mean you might be right..

[tweety bird]

Now the race car is racing how's the gtr turbo conversion coming on this?
