I have just managed to get the engine started and running today after a two and a half year rebuild.
It is a browntop zc/D16A1, with blacktop pistons, a 30 thou plane of the head, port and polish etc, 20 thou plane of the block, aftermarket cams, camgears, exhaust header. Should be 11.5 compression ratio. Currently running a pj1 ecu, but that may go for an aftermarket ecu the same as GENONE's supercharger build if I find its needed.
It will have illumina struts and shocks, or koni reds (not the sport version), or maybe even a set of showa's up front. 24 or 27 mm torsions; and 350 lb rear springs. All are avalable in the shed - I just have to make a decision. I also have to decide whether to stay with drum rear brakes or change in a teg disc axle.
Waiting for the AUS/US exchange rate to equalise before getting a fibreglass sunroof.
Seats are an issue. The current aftermarket ones are too high; and bright blue. Otherwise its pretty much a standard interior in good condition. May put in a digidash, as I have a couple stting in the shed as well.
What will interest people more is the fibreglass bits. Fenders, door pods and side skirts are ready and waiting. Fortunately I have two header panels in good condition, so that isn't a problem yet.
I should be trying them fitting them next week, and I will try to describe that process in detail.
