Yeah, That's the colour I want to keep, but it's a Blue-Grey-Metallic. (It kinda looks like Jak Rizzo's colour though, don't you think?) I love
it, the rust shouldn't take much though.

Yeah Karina, I'm planning to set it up as a street legal circuit racer (Lightwieght, great handling, rollcage, no interior and some horsepower) But
it obviosly is not much of a racecar yet, hey Bond. But it will get there soon enough! Hey Chris, I'll have to take you up on that deal one day!
(Maybe oneday we'll both finish them!) But don't worry, I'm planning to use 4 or 5 point harnesses!

Hey, I removed the decklid and firewall today, gonna start working on the radiator in the back. (Anyone know where to buy a cheap aluminium radiator,
roughly 3ft by 16 inches?)
Thanks to Chris for selling me the rear clip (Apron and Bumper bracket mount assembly)
Soon enough it'll be a bolt on unit.

For the radiator, it's likely that an industrial radiator mob can build you one to your exact specs much cheaper than buying and adapting one. I did
this for my Datsun 1600 - got a complete brass radiator built to my exact spec for less than $200 (ten years ago - but a car custom aluminium builder
quoted me $600 at the same time).
Try this mob:

A POSSE AD ESSE.
I live in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.

Most likely an EJ22 SOHC, but if I pick up something cheaper other than an EJ22 (Say an EJ20 or something) then I'll use that.

Okay,
I have the oil coolers and radiator dummy mounted now (Using two Magna oil coolers and a Magna radiator)
so soon I should have the air ducts made up.
Plans for Susie have slowed down after buying a V8 LandRover and planning Valla holiday, but as soon as I'm back in August I'll be saving for an
engine!
