New Project Junior
so now that my gvt6 is done i need something new to keep me busy
And yes i know its not a gtv6 but its still something worth doing....
going to have a bit of fun turning this dead old lady into something funky and new
the idea is to make a 2l supper charged junior that is going to be track ready but is going to be a everyday road car
bit of history on the car first got it about 3 months back and have not done much on it as i needed to finish my gtv6 3l first... it had a bit of a hard life under someones tree for 5 years and took some beating from our grate sa weather not to mention a few good hail storms as well sadly so its in bad shape as you can see but thats the way we like them

Re: New Project Junior

Re: New Project Junior
Nice project car, you seem to have a pretty neat setup to work from. Look forward to seeing it on the track, hopefully soon.
