I think it's about time I give the guys on here an update.
This will be the remake thread for the Boksie*, 1.0 was still A12 , 2.0 was with the 4AGZE turbo, 2.5 was the upgraded 4AGZE turbo.
Boksie* 3.0 will thus be with the 4AGE 20V Silvertop. Motor has been acquired as everyone might have deducted already. A complete spray painting has also been booked , which will happen mid March somewhere(actually it's now end of June and the car is still over there, but I'm happy since it gives me more time to sort the other stuff out).
For a start I'll leave it NA, since this rebuild is really about getting the body as perfect as possible. I ended up on 12.3 second 1/4 mile with the 16V turbo 4AGE, but realized for some time already that I didn't originally build the car to be dragging with it. It was still very drivable on the road, but power corrupts... your right foot and if you stomp on the loud pedal to often it gets expensive to maintain all the broken parts and the rising fuel price is also a concern these days. If I get bullied to much it won;t stay NA for to long, hence the silvertop choice, since it's more suited to boost than the blacktop...
I've been busy with the rebuild for some time now, so for a start I'll simply be re-posting everything over here. It might take me some time though, since I have to log in like 10 times sometimes to make on post. Yes, I'm still having that bloody log in problem, but I can't stay away... 
*Boksie is the nickname for my car, you pronounce it "boxy", and it's the Afrikaans word for "little box". My nickname on all other forums is also Boksie.
