today i got early home from work, and it was nice and sunny weather

so the dats got a wash and polish session

the before pics













washed the car and polished it with a professional machine.
the rear boot I've sprayed with a can, and was not really shiny

before pic, the flash is really blurry







after polishing, it looked really nice, but next time i will use a rotary machine to polish the whole car.
then it really will look nice











the car had some swirls, after being in the garage for over 1 1/2 year

before:







after polishing













then a nice layer of Dodo Juice Rainforest Rub soft wax and finished it with Meguiar's Last Touch Detailer
and then it was to dark to take nice pictures with daylight, so here are some night pictures



















the car now is really smooth and smells great (coconut and pineapple) love Dodo juice wax ;)
tomorrow i'm going to polish the wheels and the chrome

next week the apk (mot??) and then it will be cruising and meeting time.

here a quick pic, better ones are on the way

and it runs, i'm very happy and it sounds like a V8 :D :D :D :D

on ebay is a set, i also ordered them by this seller

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cylind ... uckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

i think about 12:1 ratio

if i remember good what the tunes said to me.


also with this ratio it was still possible to go for a turbo set-up, but thats a thing for next winter

also today, when i picked up the rims, looked for a '72 datsun 1200 in blue, needs some welding and a respray
but for 400 euro's , I'll probably do it. got an SR20DET lying around from an S14. so that would be a great next project.

today pickup some never been used 120Y rims

5J x 12" so i can change the tires from my original steel wheels to this one
after first sandblasting them, polishing all the metal and spray some bits new in color

here a good link to look what kinda rims you have

they look a little like the Zona Spoke

Hello

i'm barry, living in the netherlands and the last 2 years restoring my F10.

bought it looking like this





after driving a couple of months and doing some little things to the car
i've rented a big space to take the car apart, the old owner has done some damage to the car i would like to repair




after completely taking the car apart

it looked like this




after a lot of work, I've sprayed it in primer






after a lot of sanding, it was time to spray color on the car, was the first time for me.
but when i was done, it looked very nice. the color is from the '80s Renault alpine A32






after a little black spray of some items, it was time for clear lacquer






began to place everything back on the car




then we had to move to a new building. than the mood to work on the car disappeared :(

but piece by piece the car came done






16" borbet a wheels polished and sprayed white with 195-40/16 tires mounted on the car



i've got some original 12" and 13" alloy rims to, for the oldtimer events

the car is still missing the engine, because i had it tuned, but the dumbass tuner has taken 12 months to do it
got it begin november back from him in bits and pieces, now i have got the engine build up, new cilinderhead bolts are on the way from japan, then i can hook everything back up and start the engine, i hope

specs off the tuned engine are

cosworth pistons and rods
specially made camshaft 278 degrees inlet and 272 degrees outlet
machined head to make room for the pistons end get better flow ports
bigger valves
weber 32/36 carb
protronix ignition
and more




here some pics of the engine now








sprayed the engine in heat resistant metallic grey








alsmost completed engine






taped of the engine en mounted it back in the car









will keep you updated over the rest of the Restoration.

and more performance ideas will be very welcome

also wan't bigger front brakes, because 219mm is to small. :(
