Hi peeps, This is a project in progress by a mate of mine. It's going to be a sort of demo-cruiser for his business (mainly metal plating/polishing). He bought the P100 off a farmer 2 years ago as it has a reasonably rot-free and straight body. Only had 46k too. Then he bought an H-reg XR4x4 2.9i and had that stripped by someone else and delivered. Low mileage BOB Scorpio bought as a donor, in parts again delivered to the workshop. The BOB was purchased mainly because it's a more handsome looking engine plus not many out there. Everything will be painted, polished or powder coated. All bolts are replaced where necessary with new high tensile s/s ones. All new parts are sourced where possible - lights, tank, glass, interior parts, grommetts etc... Firstly, the P100 was stripped, and the 1.8 TD engine ditched.    |

new pas bottle and bracket sourced as well as coolant bottle
AVO coilover front suspension ready to go on, as are huge brakes with all refurbed calipers, lines, bushes, hubs, bearings etc.
After waiting for a complete BOA loom and ECU for 9/10 months (which has held up much of the build) from a promised source, gave up and sourced it ourselves.
Was going for tubular manifolds too, but again the source was same as the loom and nothing materialised after the same amount of time.......
Sticking with the standard ones for now, which with the heat shields, look ok anyway
peak style dash has been sourced, together with a rare brand new RS steering wheel and hub.
black door cards are at the trimmers at the moment, as are the super-rare Rouse Sport 304-R leather Recaros, which are being treated to a proper Nappa leather retrim.
more pics to follow!

few pics of some parts that have been blasted, polished then zinc/colour plated...just to show the sort of detail that is going into it door catches  these plates go by the headlamps  this is obviously an engine eye.....all bolts as mentioned before are new or refinished and polished.  pic of the new header tank and pas bracket & tank  and his really nice and rare RS steeering wheel - again, new old stock with correct boss  otherwise we extended the TPS sensor wire using proper wires and insulation, so that's all nicely done. Just a few more bits on the wiring then the engine/box etc will be going in and the front suspension can be built up. All being done after hours at his workshop due to the sudden uptake in business, which help obviously. He does polish a whole host of stuff - his username is Lewry6453 if you check out eBay....... |

not much of an update - the wiper motor is new and the mechanism has been carefully blasted and painted.  some custom laser-cut aluminium bits for the custom exhaust, with custom milled recesses for the gaskets. These are quality!    He's just polished up the 2WD BOA engine arm mounts and the finish is unreal!!! |
