ok this is my mates car, picked it up the other day for $200 bucks not running we ripped the motor out (n/a) and getting ready to pull the box out and more stripping, body straight apart from the tail gate/rear door some great bog work and tiny spec of rust to be fixed (near window seal, surprise!... not), he had a turbo rb20 laying around but there is a complete rb25 head on the way to fit up to a spare rb30 thats in one of our part cars, calais eye lids getting fitted, waiting on another mate for a axle with disc brake setup, so we're chasing... rb25 loom and computer turbo auto (stalled and kitted already would be lovley) a decent diff better calais trim hopefully to have engine bay filled and smoothed and rest of car in primer by end of next week... key word - hopefully Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looking nice though you really should have degreased and cleaned the bay before starting the smoothing... are you going to move the fuse box to the glovebox?
