hey, just thought i would put up some pics of my 1200 coupe! i had another project build going on here when the car had a 12a and 6speed in it so it may look familiar! after ALOT of thinking about what i wanted out of the car and how i wanted it to perform i decided to ditch the rotor and put a ca18det in it! at the moment the motor is standard with aftermarket exhaust manifold, T28bb turbo, adjustable cam gears and 450x300x76 front mount intercooler. behind the motor is a 5 speed with short shifter! the body has been taken back to bare metal and all rust and dints repaired! it sits in primer so i can test fit everything before it gets painted! have a r31 diff being shortened and a r31 fuel tank to go in! have big plans for the motor but thats a bit down the track yet!

Red timing cover looks really good, you might have some troubles using an S13 rad with the piping of the plenum.

Got a feeling this car is going to look really good.

thanks mate, i have a s13 all alloy radiator but having dramas with it sitting too high (bonnet clearance) and the hose position, so im getting a custom pwr one made! its expensive but this is my dream car so its worth it! will also be able to get the radiator inlet in a decent spot so my engine bay doesnt look like a bowl of spaghetti!

great looking car, well done. What did you have to do to get the r31 fuel tank to fit?
cheers

havnt tried to fit the tank yet,havnt had the time! will have to cut the spare wheel well out and make a flat floor and the rest should be pretty easy, when i do it i will post some pics up! thanks mate..

If this is your dream car you are sure doing it justice so far.

Coming along very nicely. What R31 tank you using ? Wouldn't R31 wagon tank fit without cutting out the 1 inch deep wheel well in the coupe ?. Just a thought we had a wagon one in a bluebird sedan with full size wheel well.

thanks guys, havnt really looked too much into the fuel tank yet! i have a r31 sedan here thats the only reason i was going to use that tank. thanks for the iomput its great!

stripped interior.removed tar on floors to check for rust.left tar on tunnel for sound deadning.gave the floor a light coat of tar paint to ensure it is sealed.
