this bitch about to have major work done on it. G200z, twin Weber IDF40s, Lukey Xtractors, 5spd, Gem wagon diff (hatch has same angle shock set up as wag) rust repairs and probably re-bomb it stain black.
Carbs are being rebuilt at the moment and car will be collected and taken ino the shop next week or maybe the week after (mechanic/fabricator dude is finsihing off an SR20det Convo on a starlet at the moment. Needs to get it out of his shop 1st)
Will update as I get shots, can't f*#kn wait this car has been sitting for too long!

This dirty little girl is about to get a birthday... getting picked up tomorrow by a Tow truck and being taken to a shop in Glenfield to recieve a G200z Piazza 2L, 5 spd box, Twin IDF40s (recoed, just picked up today) Lukey Extractors, and a Gemini diff.
Also will have all rust dealt to and will be refinished in satin black.
Have been preparing her for collection past few weeks, had to degrease and re spray-bomb the engine bay, clean/degrease/paint front x-member and put back into car and generally just scratch around for the zillions of parts I need from my hoarders stash.

Heres pics... (forgot to get some of carbs but will do, another top notch job from CSL)

Yea dont think ozzie got the G200z Piazza... ours are from Japan land though, think the Holden ones were locally assembled...

Thinking of using all the injection gear from the G200z on a G161z later on just for lol's sure as fuk wont chuck it.

Should have heaps of pics flowing as this progresses watch this space!

Probably only a couple of grand to ship and you can pick up a fairly tidy runner for $1000NZD, Roughly $1000 plus donor parts for frontal conversion unless you're handy with a welder you could have one for $4000 and the rarity of it probably not lose any/much $$$ if you had to sell... you'd be a celebrity on ozgem thats for sure :lol:

It has been suggested that maybe the shear pin in the column is severed and the shaft has collapsed somewhat and could be pulled back out... duhhhhhh.

Lil bummed, not going in shop till thurs now but is going, stay positive...
Dude has 2x TG sedans in there at the moment one of which is halfway thru getting parted out which is cool for me as I can steal a heap of parts for my Chevini from it. The other is a colleague of the mechanic who has just had some rust sorted, car is going to recieve a suck thru turbod G180z, something a bit different.

He also has an SR20 Starlet with amazing fab work and a sweet Cefiro drifter on his hoists. Starlet is what slowed down my car going in... nearly done though!
