[EP70-PT]

sweeeeet can't wait to see more on this

[MR-2]

Found Your project, didn't find any front lower arm support bar pictures, said in my Artic Granny tread that You are using newer model P8/9 part. How is this project going, new pictures?

[ChristopherEP70]

Have made a start with this conversion. Need to do the headgasket on the engine. Picked up a headgasket and a set of head bolts. I'll get the head rebuilt while it's off the engine

The wiring loom is done also

Also done the EP91 wishbones with powerflex bushes and new ball joints

[biggy_ep70]

[ChristopherEP70]

Not much progress with this lately. But picked up a fibreglass EP71 bonnet

[mccartney11]

Mint job lad Jer o briens one was it?

[ChristopherEP70]

Yeah he made it last week. Beats spending a thousand euro on a genuine one haha

[ChristopherEP70]

Haven't really done much with this. Took the one litre engine out and getting it ready for the 4efte

[ChristopherEP70]

Been doing a few small bits to this. Put the engine back together. Hoping to having the engine in by the end of next week.

Maybe Cork in 2025 haha

[ChristopherEP70]

So fitted the 4efte today. About of a tight squeeze going in but once the mounts were done up there's plenty of space. Hoping to get the loom and ecu fitted tomorrow.

Supposed to be sweet when done bro.

Looks great, what turbo are you running, doesn't look like the usual td from the back end

Thanks man. Probably won't be done for a good while yet

CT9 with this engine. The welding on the manifold is an absolute mess so that has to be changed. Have an other engine so I'll be rebuilding that at some stage and go bigger turbo with that

[Stu]

Looking great! Makes me miss my old red EP71. Keep those updates coming

[ChristopherEP70]

Fitted the EP91 wishbones,hubs,calipers etc also fitted drilled and grooved discs.

Also picked up rear wheel bearings to do the rear disc conversion. Saves alot of hassle. Just have to fit the bearings in the disc.

[biggy_ep70]

nice update!

[ChristopherEP70]

Finished off with the underside protection. Undersealed the whole under neath and went over it in chassis paint. Didn't like the kinda sticky feel of the underseal.

Test fitted the spoiler,midspoiler and front grill.

Haven't done much engine wise still have to sort out the fueling side of things first

Nice mate... You might want to put the rear wiper flat like the pre face lift.

I'll probably take the wiper off it altogether 

[ChristopherEP70]

My rear calipers were pretty bad so decided to rebuild them. Handy enough to do but a bit fiddly. Also changed the two pistons while I was at it. 

Picked up a rear bumper for it as it seems to be the only real mod with regards a rear bumper. Also have MR2 skirts there for it 

[ChristopherEP70]

Haven't updated this is a long. Really need to get it out and give it a proper clean. Few small bits and pieces to do like paint the back bumper,seat rails and the odd part here and there. Pretty much how it's looking now
