Well I have a new vehicle which is highly likely to become a project car, although right now I just need to get it running cleanly while I consider my options for this car and my existing 5KTQ project.
I picked up a 1990 V8 this weekend and have ti back at my shop now. The car is in awesome shape, and I think I could get a sticker on it without doing anything to it at all.
It does have one issue in that it wont rev past 2500rpm, but my guess is that its a sensor glitch somewhere. First thing I need to do is get hold of some Bentley manuals so I can chase that issue down.
So here's my current thinking which is changing daily.....
Step 1) Fix the rev glitch
Step 2) Get it on the road and run it a bit to see how it behaves.
Step 3) 5KTQ - finish the front suspension arm build and the underside so I can get it back rolling, at which point I will likely sell it on and move onto the V8.
Step 4) Suspension (as per the test build on the 5K)
Step 5) Brakes - Big Reds
Step 6) V8TT
Step 7) Once its all tested out as is on the street I will strip the shell, cage and fuel cell it for the track.
Here is the main gallery page (its running slow for some reason)
