JB's Rebuild

[Matty]

Mate that is just awesome, G10a conversion not to bad to do??? G10t looks the goods

[Billie]

Does it start?

[JB]

I cant take credit for the flares, they are ex-Japan. The G10 was bloody good, the G10T should be a ball-tearer! Not running yet, I am focusing on getting the car ready for paint, then back to the engine.

[Dave]

Any new updates on it mate? And were the flares made for an MB or for something else?

Cheers
Dave

Sadly other work has got in the way of much progress. Another day on the body and I will be ready to hi-fill it (it's in epoxy primer right now), and then I am not far off colour. Other than that, I have been doing a bit of work to the inlet manifold and throttle body, cutting off useless bits of casting, removing pollution crap I dont need. Then I need to decide if I polish the whole thing, or colour match it red to my rocker cover. With regard to the flares, they are purpose made to fit an MB, and fit bloody good too!

Sounds good JB. I reckon polished would look the goods, painted could possibly look a bit tacky in my opinion, but I know theres a ton of work and elbow grease involved in polishing. Could you possibly provide a link or some more info on where to get these flares from? That'd be great if you could

Import monster has them

[Dave]

Specifically to suit MB? Checking that out ASAP

Cheers

[Billie]

Yep

[shavenyak]

fantastic build! Any more pics you can show regarding engine mounts and the subframe mods?
Have just spotted a turbo G10 show up for sale and am very tempted...

[Dave]

Sorry for kind of hijacking your thread here JB.

You wouldn't happen to have a link? I tried searching through that site and can't seem to find them. I don't really feel like looking through all 200 pages of suzuki stuff from japan either

[JB]

Ginya Kobe is the name of the place that makes the flares etc. I had a friend pick them up for me when he was in Japan. Will post a few pick of subframe mods and engine mounts soon.

So... *looks at watch*

6 months have passed, where's the photos??



How's the project going mate?

[JB]

Ah yes, photo's...Much progress has been made, so I guess I should post some new pics. I will try and sort something out this weekend.

[JB]

Alright, what is the deal with posting pics on this 'new' forum? I am bloody hopeless on this thing. Got plenty-o-pics but not the smarts to post em. Also, do I need to re-scale, as the pics are high res (about 2MB each)
