took off front fenders yesterday. drivers side was a Mrs Funt'maRunt as some numb nuts actually welded the Barry Whiteer on. lol. had to cut the pregnant dog off! only a little surface rust underneath & one small hole on the passengers side. undersealed today as well. got a guy to make x-member too so sweet as. next thing that needs sorting is accelerater linkage as the g161 comes up too high & also the inlet manny will more than likely foul too.

shifter hole cut & floors undersealed. also need to get dshaft x-member bolt holes slotted in about 2.5cm either side. took the Barry Whiteed up dash out too. probably just swap hatch one over at a later date. debadged as well and started sanding boot. gonna be a real Mrs Funt'maRunt to cut through the all the paint so may just sand it back & paint over. thinking blood orange or silver. state of the car at the moment. looking very ghetto. hopefully get x-member done within next week or so. then engine out again. slap on 5 speed from tim. put the head back on and shove the Barry Whiteer back in the car. then gotta sort hoses/brake lines/speedo/clutch... chur!

I see you tried swapping the torque tube mounts, doesnt quite work eh! Brake lines to the rear will be too short also..
What underseal are you using/cost/where from - I need to do the same..

nah i was seeing if it would fit on piazza diff - which it doesnt! underseal i had some brush on stuff which was pretty average. thick as nuts tho. lol dont know the brand sorry - sealed the floors with some spray on stuff from segedins which was much easier to use and a better finish which can be painted over. cant remember the brand sorry bro coz i used it up in about 30 min then chucked the can out.

What would you do about dizzy with that motor? looks like itd be thru the firewall... Got several options - just keep it as a spare, rebuild it with decent rods and pistons in the bottom end ($$$ ) and maybe do some top end work - valves, cleanup, decent cam's etc (more $$$, more ). Only problem doing that is the two possible applications use different exhaust cam's (Calibra has dizzy, "Chevette" has end machined off for clearance). Bottom line is my conscience has to let me buy it first and, as I'm still unemployed, that may be a problem! Not many of these engines coming up and so, if it's a reasonable price, hard to let it go! Oh, finally got a clip of the "Chevette" engine running, etc - 1.4 GIG for a short AVI file! Going to see about compressing and Youtubing it!

current state of the sedan. starting to look pretty gangsta IMO! ;D still need to sort rear suspension & a bunch of other nuts but its definitely starting to come together which is cool. got everything i need to make it run bar a gearbox x-member. engines all set up with extractor/weber etc. once everything else is set up will take it somewhere to hook up 2 1/2 exhaust. got a nice little coby im gonna throw on there so will be nice & throaty. cant wait to get this Barry Whiteer on the road eh! ;D

got some KYBs for the front. Rally spec KYBs were the best front dampers I've had - good choice!

Are you collecting them Gordo? Sort of, it's now my spare engine for the Calibra and/or the Chevette - if I ever get the funds to do it! I think I'll have to pass on any more - three is enough.
