Project 999
-
Hi all,
Just bought a Eunos 30X, 1.8 V6 for £250.
The master plan is to strip it down as light as possible and have it ready to race at Santa Pod in just two weeks time.
Will get some pictures up asap.
-
look foward to your progress fella
-
Look forward to some pics, good luck

Well I managed to get the workshop tidied enough to actually get a car inside today :) so hopefully tomorrow or Monday I can start this wee motor on her crash diet.
-
Good luck buddy :)
-
Good luck man, a lot of weight to strip out! Get that a/c outta there!
-
good luck get some pics of your own ASAP!!!! :respect:
-
Can I post up pics on my profile or in this thread, or is it just the links that can be posted?
-
ye you can post pics in a thread
this is how
-
cheers, will sort it tomorrow
-
An old filter tried in place. Fits and sounds pretty decent.
Is the weird cone part the AFM? Is this necessary as it seems really restrictive?
Sound deadening and possibly dash still to come out.
My wee assistant.
Wires still to be checked and anything unnecessary removed.
Actually kind of big in there when its empty lol.
Seats will go back in, but not much else. Door cards have been removed, with the handles re-attached.
If you look closely you will see a wee bit of the old tin worm in there. I don't think the car will through another MoT test without some major welding repairs. So looks like she will be scrapped after this event.
Might sell on as a rolling shell if anyone was interested.
Will be selling all parts removed that are still in good condition so if there is anything you need let me know. Will open up a thread in the parts section soon.

if your changing the altinator belt it will be worth removing that aircon out its quite heavy
looks like your getting there fella

That engine bay scares me (ignore my user name), all that grot will have me tossing and turning all night, I hope you're going to sort it out otherwise I may be tempted to find where you live and do a midnight cleaning :mrgreen:
Good luck with the build.

Good luck with the build.Hahaha the rust will hold in there long enough to complete the event, then after that its either to someone as a project car, or off to car heaven.

I had it lying around in the workshop so its a free mod.
Although you can spend up to £999 on the car, we are trying to build it as cheaply as possible.
-
All the stripping done in the pics took myself, my mate, and the wee man about 2 hours to do.
We just set about it and got lucky that none of the bolts were stuck. Almost everything that came out is pristine.
-
You paid nearly £1k for it? I think most on here will say you've been cheated bud, no offense, good MX3's go for that these days! I'm not trying to bring a downer on it but it looks like a dog for that price :/
As I say, no offence meant and good look with the build and hope it all comes together well.
