Got yet another panel done for the rear. It’s an awkward spot in the boot that’s impossible to cut and no doubt weld in. Haven’t got this welded in yet as it was a bit too warm the other day and the mask kept steaming up. Managed to fabricate the first part and clean it up as well as mostly cut out the rust it’s replacing. I shall need to weld in part of the rear arch to this then it’ll be on to the floor and hopefully the sills. Overall there doesn’t appear to be too much rot left to deal with, certainly not compared to some that are currently for sale

Decided to clean up the inside or the turbine housing. The turbo is fairly big for a 2 litre so anything to get it to spool a bit faster is a win. Didn’t open it out as one side is a bit closer to the gasket than the other. Ground out the casting marks, smoothed with a sandpaper roll and then used some abrasive mops up to 400 grit. Looks much better than it did originally

Had a bit of time spare today so I got a couple of the intake valves in. The head is spec’d as follows: BC valve springs, BC titanium retainers, BC stainless valves, HKS 264/272 cams step 2 cams, Siruda valve stem seals, HKS adjustable cam gears and VTC removed. I have lightly ported and polished the intake and exhaust ports and it has had a clean up skim.

Oh yeh love that engine is it the sr20?.

Sorry if I've asked before. Can't beat abit of engine work. 

Yeh it is, didn’t want to follow the RB or JZ route every man and his dog goes down. To be honest the SR is a bloody good engine providing you build it right and actually take care of it

Didn’t have much time for a while as our son was born but I’ve got a couple of posts to update the build. Progress is certainly slow but I’m slogging away at it getting bits done where I can. 
 

Got the rest of the head built a couple of months ago

Had a hand from my brother in law starting to get the rot cut out here. Found more as we went along and had to cut out some of my rear arch to access the floor. As it was rotten around the boomerang mounts I have machined new threads and got some new bolts for both sides

Todays job: get the diff sorted. Getting out the bolts on the ring gear put me in hospital with myocarditis and nearly killed me. So I’ve now got hold of a huge Dewalt impact as my air one wasn’t big enough. Safe to say the gear is now on my Kaaz 2 way. Just need to clean the casing inside and out and stick some paint on it and it’s ready to be put back together. Once we drop the subframe I can fit the new diff and replace the diff mounts and sub frame mounts, both sets are going to solid from the original rubber. Every mount will then be solid and every arm is rose jointed

I originally wanted a Chaser but I couldn’t insure one back when I was 20 so a 14 it had to be

Ah man, I've always wanted a chaser! Can never make my mind up between the 90 or the 100 though haha

Now that Christmas is out of the way I had a bit of time today. Got the bores deglazed, not sure how long it’ll be sat as I need to find the time to file fit the rings so I’ve left it as a scuffed surface for now. I’ll get the finished home pattern into it when it comes to building it as it’ll need a final clean down anyway. 
 

Both boomerangs are off the rear subframe now so I’ve cleaned them up and painted the top. Once it’s dried I’ll get the underside done. Next up is cleaning out the diff casing and painting it before fitting the Kaaz 2 way. Not looking forward to pulling the subframe off but I’ve got some solid mounts that need fitting and I may well brace it whilst it’s out

Bit light on the pictures and it’s certainly been a while. Got the front bearing out of the rear diff and cleaned it up and painted it. Been doing some of the welding work but I can’t find any photos of that. 
 

Big lump of aluminium in the lathe: machined a tool to push the rings into the bores and got those file fitted and labelled up. Need to get the pistons on the rods and start building the engine and finish the welding. Car can go back together then
