  1. Shame on you Thijs…. its Georgina Verbaan.  ;)

    The Gtv is from the Series Westenwind correct, Georgina was in it also.

     

    If you Google you will find more pics if interested  :thumbsup:

    Oh hell yeah, she looks like a bunch of fun !!


  2. The cup is back with me in 1 piece, it drives beautifully. Today I pulled the spider out of the garage to be collected by my machine shop man. He has rebuilt another TS engine keeping the ballance shafts in this block. A picture of the 2 dirty girls. The other is 1 with cup 131 and my friends drift car.

  3. Put the the 72k engine and 6 speed box on a pallet and stick it in the corner of your garage if you have room. They will be difficult to find 1 day. I'm currently on the look out for a gta 3.2 power plant with box. 3.75 rebuild on the cards !


  4. No parts and labour don't come cheap here in the UK.

    All the work that AL are carrying out + parts cost more or less the same as the price of the car !!

    What can I say, when you're on a roll things go your way, I'm having a good start to the year ;)

    I have a lot more planned to do on the car then what the good lads at Autolusso are carrying out (watch this space)

    Ned is waiting for parts to come back from the powder coaters then his team can fit the engine back into the car.

  5. Progress report !

     

    I dropped the car off at Autolusso on Saturday. Here's a quote from Ned.

     

    "We have Cup number 131 in for what we would call a mid life crisis 

    Engine out, 
    Belt, tensioner, idlers, cam cover gaskets
    Plugs
    Pump
    Quaife
    GTA clutch and flywheel
    Radiator 
    Suspension arms 
    Shocks and springs 

    Etc, etc etc 

    Ned"

     

    I've added some pictures from their workshop. I decided to get all the work done at their place as it was there.

     

    More updates to follow as work continues.

  6. I've booked the car in for 1 of Autolusso's full annual services plus a complete belt change next week. (This includes an air con re gas)

    I have also asked them to fit the mocal oil cooler kit.

    The clutch is fine and not slipping at all so this job can wait.

    I will make a start on the suspension when the weather warms up. At least once the belts are done I can drive the car with confidence. More photos to follow.
