Forum: Projects

I previously had an evo 9 GSR, road rego'd that got me hooked on motorsport. At the time of writing this i'm 35 years old, tinkered with a couple of gemini's in my late teens and early twenties but really was never in the car modifying scene as none of my mates are interested in cars plus i...

Well I guess this is a euro since it's from the UK, so I thought I would post it. Nearly finished building and will most likely be finished in 3 weeks. If no one knows what it is, it's an Ultima GTR.

Seeing as I've finished the M3 I've taken on a new project. Some have been asking so here it is. Its not really a Vauxhall but its all in the branding isn't it?? Maybe its an Opel?? I might be stretching the family links a bit:fun2 But anyway here it is in all its starting glory. For as...

Hi all, been ages. Well i haven't been in hidind i have actually been building a race car =) After seeing a bad crash at Mallala in my red 33 i decided it was the end of tracking that car, people who know that car will understand my logic. I decided to build up a mates 1983 Sud Ti which i...

A few people might remember my old VW, a 1970 Type 3 Sqaure converted into a Panel Van. While in the middle of ordering new wheels for it mid last year, and building another wagon as a daily, I was told of a Barn find in Nuriootpa here in SA. Long story short, a deal was struck, and my plans of...

well i thought I'm getting close enough to finally start a thread my car is a '87 190e, 2.0l MANUAL its my daily so at the moment there's not going to be any hardcore cages or turbo's, yet... I'm building it for motorkhana's and auto X, eventually leading towards IPR, so if you see me about...

Hey guys this is my 2nd Euro car. (The first being a dodgy Jaguar Sovereign V8 that spent half its time on jacks) This is my First Mercedes Benz. I bought it from a Persian guy from Ballarat with 175,000kms. Its a 1996 C200 Elegance with glass sunroof and full leather and wod grain etc.. Its in...

THE WHY OK so thought I better post some pics and details of project #3 This is for the people who are able to think outside the Euro box. (Well there is some Euro in them as they are a Vauxhall Viva with a longer front and different outer skin) If you don’t like Aussie cars or cant...

Time for an update on my Fiat Abarth 595SS. My Father and I starting doing this car up in 1996 - by the time it was finished it was 2000 and I had moved onto bigger and faster machines! I still had an interest in the car though, and on the rare occasions that I could, I would often take it for a...

I'm posting this here because, although the car has been constructed and progress has mostly stopped, I thought there might be a few people who would be interested. I'm also trying to create interest in the car in order to sell it and some of the parts I have left over. Unfortunately I have...

Well since I have been a little bored here in Saudi at times, and there is not a hell of a lot to do, when I saw the V8s in Bahrain and found out that there is a racetrack here in Riyadh, I started looking for cars to buy. Well I found one a bit over a month ago and bought it. It was quite an...

Well an update on my project. I have decided to start a new thread as the project has changed a little since I did the first thread, and it isnt going to be supercharged anymore - going for a turbo now. The old title didnt reflect the project anymore. For those that want to see it, the old thread...

Hey all. restoration Im new to the forum. Im from Melbourne. I just got a 124bc for a 16th present of my dads mate. Its coming from perth.

I've always been interested in case mods, watercooling, lights, etc, etc, but have never wanted to actually do something like it. Until the other day I was browsing Ebay, and stumbled across a Apple G4; Case only. The listing mentioned it had a whopping 400mhz processor, and a huge 128mb of ram,...

As in my intro in the front desk I own a 1986 Black Ford Sierra Cosworth. After growing up watching Group A cars, I was amazed how a 4 cylinder could blow the doors off a V8, Ive always wanted one. Adding to my urge to own one, was the fact that it was impossible to buy one new in Australia and...

On Saturday I swapped my e36 325i for a FC rx7 with a few issues but a fair list of modifications with massive potential. Got it home from the Gold Coast and took it for a good spin and when it holds a gear without a misfire it is amazing. Sunday morning a moved the car into the garage and lost...

Well as most of you would all know it seems that English Fords seem to run in our family, actually Fords in general. So i figured i should post up a thread on my latest little addition to my stables, as its going to be a long slow road to getting this the way i want it. I say slow, because...
