rallyfever Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Hi all, After many a late evening in the garage, I think I may have just about finished the rebuild and tart up. The wheels I think are gonna have to be changed as they are just too bloody big (Boo Hoo )and the steering rack needs replacing, but apart from those jobs I think were ready for The Jim Clark on the 24th May. What's your thoughts on the new look??? I have added an old pic and a few new to show the difference. Edited March 31, 2008 by rallyfever
frank c Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Fantastic !! Liking the choice of stickers too Gary, certainly suits the car and loving the clean look You sure it's the same car ? Nice colour btw Pity it's for sale mind......... but good luck with the Jim Clark all the same .... ps: who's Ingrid ? lol Edited March 31, 2008 by Frank C
rallyfever Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 Hi Frank, Cheers for the paint that started off the clean look fella. Ingrid is my daughter, my other expensive hobby!!! The car is up for sale unfortunatley, I will be doing The Clark and then hopefully it will be off to another good home. Can't really believe it as I have had the car for the last 5 years and it is now in better nick than it's been for years. Just spent a fortune at TEG getting the engine, gearbox, proflex and diffs re-built. It will be a cracking car for someone to have a blast in. Looking for around £14,000 for it if anyone is interested. Cheers Gary
thewelsho Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Lovin' that and a huge improvment on the original design -
frank c Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Just mind and put up pics of yours next to Dale's when his gets sorted A good job well done buddy...
rallyfever Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 Well thank god for the positive comments, kinda thought it would be that way, it was Kev Dunn who done the decals - the guy is a genius!!! He took 11 hours to do the car - he's a bit of a perfectionist as you can see. Gary
frank c Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 As long as he wasn't getting paid by the hour Cracking results right enough..
eurosti Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Looks mint mate, loving the Ocari wing. Got the same on mine!
rallyfever Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) The whole package looks good, pity the wheels don't really fit under the front arches, they rub when on full turn - which is a bit of a bugger. Gonna have to go back to the 17" gold wheels I think. Edited April 1, 2008 by rallyfever
boris b Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Looks fantastic mate.. Shame about the wheels tho.. They really suit the car.
rallyfever Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 Yeah I know, if anyone knows how I can make the buggers fit the advice would be much appreciated.
stripe Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Looks stunning mate, good job! Shame you have to change the wheels, they look ace
thewelsho Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Looks stunning mate, good job!Shame you have to change the wheels, they look ace Yeah they do, would look good on my car too... want a set of Gold STi V8 wheels for them? LOL!
rallyfever Posted April 2, 2008 Author Posted April 2, 2008 I think the wheels will be going on the road car and the other wheels I have will be going on the rally car. I have a few 17" x 7" wheels that I am gonna try and fit this weekend. Bit of a pain - but a bit research before I bought 6 wheels with tyres for £1,600 may have helped a tad!!! Thats what you get for trusting the guys from Speedline to advise you. What are the wheels like bud? Any pictures of them? Gary

Here are are some pics of jsut one wheel and the car prepped for track day with them on:
rallyfever Posted April 2, 2008 Author Posted April 2, 2008 They are the same as I have at the mo, probably just put the white 18"s on the road car I think and then put the same as yours on the comp car, I have a few so the reason for the speedlines was to go 18" and change the colour to white to match the car. I am sure the 17" STI gold will be almost as good - fingers crossed!!! Cheers Gary

I was thinking about painting mine orange to go with the decals I'm getting if the guy who's doing it. ever gets back to me.
