Clydes 72 2.5ST recreation project

Wide Body?

Happy snaps from today from each corner and the shot I love most the underneath shot!

That is a thing of beauty. Great color and the wheels (excuse my french) just give you a hard on.
So is this a happy medium between a Carrera body and a Turbo FWB? Such pretty curves, you have to have posters, T-shirts stickers and other merchandise made up once its finished....

more progress cage in and most of lightweight carpet too

[KDF]

Hi Clyde,

so your 100% sure THAT carpet is the right color ,than? :p

Did you notice my question reg body?

Are the Fuchs in front of your car for RSR spec cars? Looks like massive dish....

[Terminator]

Curves are ST

Front are genuine 11/72 7" as fitted to RS Carrera but they are finished in RSR style because I love it

Dish looks bigger as there is no black paint like in correct finish.

Rear are 9" also dated 72

[Terminator]

Seats and belts in the drivers side

Who's the crazy guy wearing shorts & short sleeves in the middle of a Melbourne winter...?

Someone looks very happy?

And rightly so, looking great.

Is there a pre maiden voyage BBQ planned? ;-)

He will need an engine first ! unless Clyde wants to sit in the car and we can all push him around Daves carpark.

[Terminator]

Thats OK guys you can mock me, engine time is coming soon thanks to my recent sale!!!

2.5 long stroke matching numbers engine
Twin plugged
MFI with HB
915 with altered gears and LSD

Should do the trick quite OK

[patrick911]

Clyde, when you say 'matching numbers', do you mean it is a correct year and first 3 digit engine, or is it a modified 2.5 from the original engine that came with this chassis?

Great news you've got an engine by the way!

[Terminator]

I have bought the block that matches the chassis we have used and will be building the motor based on that.

Its correct block and hopefully makes a great 2.5 motor in the end.

I have bought one of the rough castings for the ST grenade oil filter as made by Dave at TRE in the States.

Now comes the task of trying to make it work$$$$$$$$$


See castings here

See page1 and 2 in thread


Also bought one of his Daves recreated MFI pump braces as fitted to ST and RSR cars, will make the engine build even more authentic looking.


Pics of Flunders great early ST rebuild show both the pump brace and grenade filter
