Clean Sud to Mint Sud Resto 83 S3

[fly33boxer]

Hi all,

Been quite a while but have been quite busy over the last 2 years restoring my 1983 Sud Ti from the ground up.
The car was quite clean before but was always left wondering what the actual condition of the shell was underneath the existing paint, so I decided to strip it fully.
Below are some photos of the process from existing to new and a Youtube video of the slideshow, 40 minutes longs so enjoy =)

Looks very nice indeed.
Colour coding the arch trims and bumpers looks really smart and I love the wheels as well.
Enjoy it.

Fantastic job that. Looks the b#$¥s!

Have you upgraded the lights? If so, I'd be very interested to know what you used. I've been thinking for sometime about upgrading my Edwardian front candles.

Cheers, Ed.

More details needed now, you can't post the vid and leave it at that.

Rear anti roll bar ?

Oil feeds in the cam covers?

Engine spec ?

Are the wheels 14 or 15 inch and did you machine a carrier for the willwoods ?

Thanks !

Hi Ed,

The lights are now Narva and the conversion was so hard it makes me tired thinking about it =)
The kits fit the std plastic surrounds nice but the retaining is the hardest part. I used springs with small delrin blocks which hold them in the exact place the original ones did.
Im sure it could be done another way but i just wanted to be able to use the existing adjusters so it looks factory.

Rear anti roll bar ?

- Yes Kmac custom Light rear stabilizer with custom made axle mounts and shackles. Does help believe me =)

Oil feeds in the cam covers?

- Those are return lines as from hard cornering the banks do tend to fill quicker than they can return and pop cam seals. This keep teh oil flowing under those conditions and are fed back to the pump.

Engine spec ?

- 1.7 Twin card solid lifter motor, mods - too many to list

Are the wheels 14 or 15 inch and did you machine a carrier for the willwoods ?

- 15x7 and custom brackets for the Wilwood Dynalites with PMU Race pads

Thanks !

Cheers for the info on the lights. I'll definitely look into this. BTW - which size I did you order?
