So this arrived from japan brand new full Doobie ep82 bodykit we ordered the wrong year so the front is mk1 starlet fitment not to worry and if anyone is in the market for a mk1 Doobie front lip yes it will be for sale and yes I'll send it to the UK won't be cheap though and as for the build we're so close hopefully road testing this week 😀

Modified thermostat housing to direct the pipe away from the hot downpipe

Such a relief mate its being started and thanks very much for the heads up you are very correct I went out and checked by ep91 4efe daily and yes its a 4efe rocker cover so you might just have saved us a big oily mess oh the thoughts of oil spraying on all the vapour blasted parts and fresh engine bay paint makes me cringe if its not welded on the inside I'll have it welded and powder coated thanks 😀 again 👌

ITS A LIVE 🤩 VID-20221012-WA0005.mp4 VID-20221012-WA0008.mp4

Phil says all going well this thing mite be making noise by next weekend to say I'm excited is an understatement been 13+ months and counting VID-20220930-WA0005.mp4

So the next phase has begun the car was delivered to Chris at his place of work for major wiring work an oem + engine loom and serious work is needed inside the cars dash loom as with all these old cars and the many owners before it's seen many turbo times and alarms and so on Chris wants to have it all mint which it great for me peace of mind VID-20220922-WA0006.mp4 VID-20220923-WA0004.mp4

Wepr racing hotpipe extended by 55mm by ryfab cracking job new walbro fuel pump fitted along with a 3bar link map sensor radiator fan shrowd resembled and fitted bosch lambda fitted aswell and water thermostat is off to be modified at G-sport cars getting there slowly but surely progress is slow but she's a truly one off build

Some pictures of the fan shrowd before it's sent off for powder coating and some fitted pictures

So Phil offered up a spal fan to the new radiator and he wasn't happy looked lost against the rad so he set out about modifying the original fan shrowd and has made it work and it looks awesome I must say he is having the fan shroud blasted and powder coated for me and I've posted up a mint condition fan to go against the new shroud

Cheers mate appreciate the comment 👍

So Phil said this would be a nice touch innovative lambda heat sink bung Extender an expensive little piece I must say and ordered this oil cap from rhdjapan and a few progress shots

Thanks mate 😁

Getting there now guys few more weeks I cannot wait 🤗

Wishbones and anti roll bar back from powder coating turned out real nice Tein front coilovers fitted and the two Timothy Bell developments manifold heat shield and power steering cover a really class touch had to hound tb developments for them as he only ever uses them on his own builds next up Phil modified the Rw developments catch can to go on top of the cusco brace as 2 underneath would have needed washers stacked up and that just wouldn't cut it for me wiring supplies also ordered along with zeitronix wideband

Nice work mate 👌
