323Permin's 323 SE transformation into a GT

[323Permin]

Sorry Lex ... the first time around with this car it will be just BP N/A.

I will see about turbo set up maybe after I get it all together and running in the spring.

I still want to change the suspension to K-sport or BG instead of the ground control I have on it right now. Plus buy a good set of seats and belts ( Sparco ) .

Oh and buy and install a 4 or 6 point cage .

I still have a long wish list :0) , but a bit at a time

After the first time Rob brings it out racing he'll want to do a turbo or V6 swap.. lol..

good to see your still kicking Rob.. I was wondering if all was going ok...

[323Permin]

Well got a little more done to the project. Pulled off the subframe and cleaned it up .

Installed the front sway bar with new polyurethane bushings and installed the 4 point front tie bar I got from JP motorsports .

It looks GOOD !!!! Its going to be a stiff front end now.

I will have to get some pics posted of it before its all installed and hidden under the car .

Also Xmas came early today . My Cuz finally finished off a custom piece for my Intake .

This CNC one off piece is going to go where the black/red stock sticker went .

Its a little jewelery for the engine bay

WOW nice build... just looked over all the pages... i love how everything got cleaned up and was made to look better than new :D everything looks great! keep up the good work :D

[323Permin]

I snapped a few pics of the front subframe while I was trial fitting the 4 point lower tie bar and the front sway bar.

The subframe is alright shape, but has some rust spots , only surface issues .

So Its going to get all cleaned up and painted fresh .

Once thats done I can put it back on the car and move forward in dropping the motor and tranny back in her .

After that everything else will move quick . It will be on the road in spring fo sur !!

This is a gorgeous build.

you should start making those cnc'd pieces and selling that sh*t, bet they would go like hot cakes.

@ 89BG 323

Ya I tried to get mu Cuz to start making them, but in reality for the amount of time on the CNC machine to make this it wouldn't be cost effective .

He did this for me cause he owed me for parts for his DD 323 I gave him .

If I went to a machine shop to make this for me it would be in the hundreds of dollars for a one off like this .

[89BG 323]

any way ya can con him into making one more? lol.
