man you guys don't waste any time. can't wait to see it all finished with the rims and motor from the other car.

[Kebin[RL]]

I wonder if this one will run :y:

[ChrisGT]

na we don't....ive been so busy working on this thing.

 

more updates....

 

I pulled all the suspension out of decoop mkI, the ta22 struts, brakes and LCA's and had the rotors, pads, ball joints and all bushes replaced. Then fitted it all to decoop MKII:

 

 

 

I then had to fit the Simmons on the front to clear the brakes...this is what the car looks like with all the clear coats finished, it still needs a light sand and a cut and polish to bring up the shine:

 

 

Then the brake booster was cleaned up painted and fitted to the car along with the clutch mater. Yesterday id just finished installing the motor, gearbox and tail shaft, so now the whole drive train is in.

 

 

 

I had to modify a few things to make the car alot neater and work better than it was on decoop MKI.

 

I reinforced the fire wall where the clutch master is bolted, so stop it flexing so much:

 

 

The gearbox cross member in decoop MKI was a bit dogie, i was surprised to find that the original 3k cross member fits, it just needs to be bolted into the bolt holes that are closest to the rear of the car.

 

Old cross member:

 

 

Original 3k cross member bolted up to the T50:

 

 

The shifter hole for the gearbox in the floor needed to be moved back for the T50 so i cut part of the tunnel out in order for the shifter to stick through the floor and cut some sheet metal to fill the original hole:

ok guys here is an update as of last weekend decoop is back on the road.

 

It still needs a better cut and polish as i just gave it a quick one after the colour sand so its a bit dull.....the paint jobs is not the best and its not the straightest car. But time and money was a factor and I'm happy how my $450 paint job ended up!

 

The car feels so much better then the last one and is a lot quieter as there are not holes everywhere. Also Kebin rewired the whole car including ecu, so it looks alot neater.

 

Here are some pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are still heaps of stuff to do like finish off everything in the engine bay, put the stereo in and finish painting bits and pieces. Will get more pics and info when i have time.
