Engine

Stage 1 Was basicly stock. Stage 2 features a 3.8ltr V6 holden engine(based on buick engine) for an engine transplant this will feature a mild rebuild & some bolt on goodies

Exterior

Stage 1 featured full two tone respray after reconstruction of the front left side of the car and rust removal. Stage 2 Has so far a roof chop & will explore another paint scheme once the cal shave 4x4 panels and other body mods have been completed

Interior

Stage 1 one was mostly stock with a bench seat, some colour coating a glove box cd player and a sports steering wheel. Satge 2 will be modded much more and feature a full sheet metal dash modified tunnel, smoothed floor & sound system

Suspension

Stage 1 was bagged in the rear with a mcdonald brothers style four link and an 8 inch notch. Stage 2 includes bags on all corners, mofifed front arms, modified stearing, 2 inch Z notch & cross members done so that the rails lay flat, Traditional body drop 2 & 3/4 inches completed including the pinch cut off completely, a rear clip with jag xj2000 irs & many other small mods

Wheels

Stage 1 included stock rims & 19inch taks.
At this stage the wheels in stage 2 will be new wheels based on the optimum size rim when completed (at this stage that looks to be a 17 - 19 inch combo)

Stereo

Stage 1 was mostly basic with 1 clarian 12 inch sub & 2 6x9 speakers run by a clarian deck - stage 2 includes mod's to the rear firewall to allow for space of a serious sound system although the components have yet to be chosen

Future Plans

At this stage I'm working to complete the Engine conversion, at which stage I'll be able to finalise the plans for the firewall & tunnel. Beyond that a complete new paint scheme, stereo & interior
