Sweet! I will be keeping an eye on this for sure :-)

Started some work on my te s pack. Plan is to do some upgrades to the engine, change to a 5 speed from the auto, not a huge fan of manuals but I want to keep it original in appearance. Fit the 28 spline diff I built, change the steer rack to a manual one. Paint the car and basically try and make it as close to looking standard as possible, oh and retrim the seats.
Some pictures of how it looks now.






 
And how I want it to look, will be fitting nougths and crosses wheels to clear the brakes .

 
Console I put together for it.

The s pack material I picked up.

I have most of the parts I need to put it together, thinking I'll stretch the rear tubs as well.
I'll throw up more pictures as I go.

Once you've finished, post skid vids.

hmm how can one till if the engine is in Limp mode with a manual trans? i though limp mode only occurred on engines with an auto and meant the tranny was stuck in 3rd. I've also got the J3 clip to remove limp mode all together.

Some pics with the shitty hub caps gone

Very nice pickup. Hopefully it fills the hole left after the other one retired early

Did someone say...BACON ???

Guess your fitting a 28 spline diff this time.

Cool. My first and only Corty was exactly like that.! GL, 2 litre, 4 speed and Canary yellow. Mate, that brings back some memories.
 
Good luck with the build, watching with interest.

Awesome news bro...been waiting for a announcement of some sort and here it is.Good on ya bud

Got all excited for a minute. Thought the title said Bacon V2.0.
 
Nice Corty by the way!
