That is not dust, it is a protective layer of UV blocker.

What a shame

Wellll I am back at it again.

This thread is severely lacking in pictures now, so I'll throw some in for good measure, plus some new ones.

This is how the car looked end of June 2007..


I started tacking together the charge pipes.. pie cuts FTL






Finished charge pipes






And then nothing for 2008.
Yes, that is right, nothing for almost an entire year.

So now I'm back at it again.

New rear firewall












Engine bay as it stands right now.. ( I need another transmission, preferably an LSD one)




I'll probably re-do my charge pipes with aluminum u-bends as opposed to the pie cuts, my alu welding wasnt great then. I'm also considering replacing my turbo manifold as well, I'm not entirely pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks for looking!

I was wondering the other day how this was coming along. Keep at it!.

[n1zm0]

nice, updates! i remember seeing this a year after i joined beyond and thought 'stfu, in his garage?!', but of course nowadays everyone does garage projects but this was/is way more intense.

i like how close the turbocharger is to the seats, like real life sound-surround lol

[Mr_ET]

Glad to see she is still alive!

[SinisterProbeGt]

Same here, I was showing this project to a friend last week and thought maybe you'd thrown in the towel. Glad to hear you haven't.

[Primer_Drift]

Thanks for the comments and interest guys, it helps me keep interest in it as well haha..

The Beat is good, I'm a couple pieces away from having it in running form.

Engine is built for 800hp, the upper limit of the turbo is 600hp, so I'll probably aim for 300-400whp+ to keep it conservative until I get the bugs worked out of the suspension and chassis.

"Championship White" most likely. I'll be POR15'n the entire interior and taking the exterior down to bare metal.. the car has a lot of bodywork ahead. :P

Oh there's been days.. but then I see another Del Sol driving around and I think to myself "Damn that thing is tiny.. I have one of those with two engines in it, that is fucking retarded! I should probably finish it someday.."

Reeeally? If it is anyone half-decent at autobody I may have to take you/them up on that offer.
