Hi Guys,
i had this thread on ClubRoadster but mustn't have had enough swag for them? haha
Got this project going on now. Called Dolly as im copying ideas off people and Dolly was the original cloned sheep.
its a 1991 Eunos Roadster V-Spec - around 200,000kms when i picked it up.
Good Things:
British Racing Green, Running 1600 & no rust
Bad Things:
Bodywork is going to need work, it had a tan interior ( i dont like the tan!!)
Little 1.6 Brakes and less braces etc
Here is the car (next to my dads 1.8):

What i have done so far is:
Completely removed the Tan interior and replaced it with a black one - sorry about the mess!! :cry2:
Replace the rocker cover Gasket, and thats it!
Purchased BC Gold Coilovers off the Crashed Miatasaurus!
ive got a few plans for it at the moment but just waiting to see if i go travelling to the states this year or not! (saving money :mrgreen:)
oh and here is a couple of picture's of one of my other rides!

Decided to go a different way with my car, was looking at the classic style of cars and love it. kind of looking like a Lotus elan is how i want it.
a friend and i have just completed a set of door cards for the car.

Started off with a set of gauges from the very talented Revlimiter.

Decided on the yellow needles to match a few other parts.

Finished the gauges late into the night and got everything working.
I think they look pretty friggen awesome

Also I had made from R2-limited a set of sharka stripes and centre cap badges for the standard Eunos Wheels, I took a pretty poor picture at my desk whilst I was at work.

I was thinking of painting the standard wheels yellow to match the stripes, a friend convinced me to try plastidip on them to get an idea of what they would look like. I wasn't convinced but decided that it wasn't permanent if I didn't like them. I think they turned out great but am going to have them refurbished and painted properly, and gets the lip polished whilst I am at it.
Apparently I have the last set of stripes that Steve is going to make so I'm a little bit proud of that. I had some other stripes made up to test the look before the car heads into paint.

Hopefully get into the paint shop next month and the bodywork will be mostly complete!
Thanks for reading this!
