well as some of you know or maybe not
as friend of mine came to the FSI RR day in his white sierra xr4x4, well that's his runabout[cool]
his real beast of a toy is his twin turbo'd 2.9 V6 XR4x4[devil]
i am in the process of uploading the hundreds of work in progress pics he has so bare with me its going to take me an age to do[lol]
i will start with a pic of how the car looked when it came off the road nearly 3yrs ago
this car had a standard 2.9 V6 in it, bill had another sierra shell that was rusting away, and that had the twin turbo engine in it, so he deicided to sort the rare shell and do an engine transplant[devil]
unfortunately i never got to going the car as i met, my friend bill just after the cars were taken off the road[cry], but it was nick named the "jesus fooking christ car"[lol]
this shell is a super rare 3dr saph shell[cool] apparently only 3 were ever made, but he has since found out that the 3dr saph were made in south africa(my home country[lol]) he doesn't knw that much about the history of the shell, but it has been checked over and there is no signs of any welding to the shell at all,so it looks genuine[cool]
well here start the progress pictures, he bare metaled the shell[cool], i will let the pictures do the talkin tho. there are alot more to come[wink]
thats all the bare metal progress[cool] he then preped the shell and sprayed a layer of red oxide primer on and i think that white stuff is seam sealer[lol]
everything on the car was then given a going over in filler primer(i think it is anyways[lol]) and prepered it some more
well here are the good pic's and how it stands so far, he has decided to go for imperial blue[drool], i will let the pic's do the talking
i will post some more pic's up later on tonight when i have uploaded them[cool]
comments welcome
hope you like it, alot of hard work,blood sweat tear have gone into this car
