No where near finished and i'm not using the MERC struts. They are just merc brakes and a totally one off coilover.

Well weather has been crap preventing work on grey car so i decided its about time i stripped the saloon shell of all its saloon goodness and set about with the grinder and spot weld drill after removing the rear window.
Adam

I've just been doing something very similar with the roof of a Honda CRX. The owner has bought a glass roof (pretty sweet!), but it requires some quite scary surgery!

More progress on saloon stripping. Oh and the new front Bilsteins for the 350R that once belonged on a tarmac spec Cosworth. Oh and got my ME7 T5 on a stand finally.
Adam

Haha, loving the strip-down of the panels! I have the boot springs here, by the way...found them when having a tidy-up, but failed to bring them to RRG...

cheers

James

Had a bit of a chance to test fit a certain engine today and yesterday. Looks good i reckon!!!
Adam

You, my sir, are quite mental. I insist that you take us all out in this once it's done

Major OOOOFage!

Dream material! Cant wait to see it when its finished- and maybe a video of the beast cat too

That turbo is a bit gratuitous, isn't it? The last one that kinda size I saw on a T5 made 4-figures worth of power. I think you're going to need to do some major block surgery before you can make full use of it...

cheers

James

Turbo is a piss take. Its going to a diff hot side, plus i just won some H beams on ebay mwhahaha
Adam

You can make 400bhp on a GT28 on those things, easy. Damn them and their nice-flowing heads...!

cheers

James

Nothing wrong with a turbo that size. Turbos that size just needs to be utilized properly. Usually in this way

Though that's "just" a redblock in case..

Win!
I take it that requires custom engine mounts?

Yeh and a new front crossmember.
