Hi all,
Thought I’d do a little write up on my project. This years work is nearly done and with a wedding to pay for funds for the next part are on hold. 95% of the work has been done by Ant (Anton on here) at C.A.E Autos, he’s gone above and beyond on this and I highly recommend him (Sorry/not sorry for the plug).
Here’s what I’ve been up to so far.
I picked the car up for a tidy price from a guy from the nutz forum back in May, was solid with very little work needed.
It’s a basic 1990 115BHP long nosed crank Eunos roadster, standard stuff like electric windows and power steering. It did also have aircon originally, but the compressor has been removed at some point (but not the aircon rad strangely) in white with a tan hood. It still has the factory MOMO steering wheel (it is a bit worn) and the factory mats. It also has Monza uprated shocks fitted before it was imported. It had a 169,000KMs (about 105k miles) and a long MOT. It was basically the perfect car to start a project with, sod all rust and very few modifications, pretty much a blank canvas.
I wasn’t a fan of the tan and white combo so I swapped the hood, just as well I did as there was no rain rail (Who does that??)
I also cleaned up the ducktail as best as I could and removed the hefty self tappers and riveted it on as a temp fix.
The car had a full service including cambelt etc, fitted an LSD as the VLSD wasn’t locking, replaced the shifter boots and then we refurbed the wheels.
