When Cass owned it
At the carport of yours truly looking sad
Rust repair
Bogging, will have to do till i paint it.
What it could look like
Has a lip and wing, so i migth do another lowdown with this. Gotta sort out the rear toe issue for that tho. Paint will probably be white or poo brown as seen on ae71neo's hot 71. Rear guards need chopping tho, so theres a long road to go.

the dyno pull to 300rwkw
BT20v is making 300rwkw like i said i would without nitrous so now its time for some spray and see if she will run a 10s or less
Haha this thing is such a slut. It will be good to finally see something done with it!
wow i thought this car must of been taken to the scrap years ago.
did it come with the lights?
nice man, looking foward to seing this get built, good luk with it mate
stay classy
Lol, you just have too many projects going on.
Does this have the 3tgte in it or a 2tge?
no motor.
pretty sure the only motor thats been in it in aus was the Sr20 that it got imported with.
nah it had a 3TGTE?? whatever it came with stock when it was imported, John skidded it. Adam and Cass bought it as a roller and never got around to getting a motor in it. i bought it off Adam realised i too couldn't do the SR conversion i wanted too so i pretty much pillaged the good bits (S13 front, TRD rear, rims and some other bits) then i sold it off to Daz who SR'd it added RA60 coilovers, deep dish SSR's and then i lost track of it from there , i thought it was complete and driving around somewhere until i got Biggo's pm. hopefully it gets finished off now. wicked platform for a skid car bar the rear end which is tricky. you should endeavor to get in touch with Tim Ottoway or the owner of his old RA60 (orange 1jz item) Tim reworked the sub frame to get a semi decent range of camber, castor correction out of it.
Once again Biggo i love your work!
My mate had one of these in NZ with a 3s in it, turbo and ecu upgrade and it was insanly fast and stuck to the road like shit to a blanket.
Tims probably easier contacted on secretdrift, his user name is his name.
Good luck and i look foward to updates.
cheers dal
I will finish ,One day.
