Dan's Skid Pig

[DanWA]

Well bit of history to begin.

My uncle bought this new back in 88 in QLD. He drove it up until my cousin got his license and then it became my cousins car for a few years until he upgraded. It then became my uncles again and he moved to W.A.

He passed away last year a couple of weeks after i bought it off him to donate the diff to my manual exec. I was originally going to just strip it and piss it off but decided to keep it for some centimental value.

Now for the project side of things.

Details:
88 "Series 2" SL
N/A Auto (dead torque converter - i want the block for torana)
Rebuilt 25 spline with spool and 4.11's (4.11's will need replacing)
VZ SS Rims

Plans:
Fit Genuine Popup Calais Front i have just bought from vlt88wa
Patch window rust (its only a skid car)
Paint bright ass yellow with MX bumpers or the bright silver? (shed job won't be perfect)
Convert to EFI 5ltr or RB25 (depends on ute selling/swapping)

Pics:
Day the new Diff and Rims went in

Jatco OEM fitment :lol:

Decent skidz for a NA auto but :)

[DanWA]

I think only the turbo boxes were Jatco?

NA auto with stock exhaust and 535000 to.

Paint has been bought for body and trims

Absynthe Yellow for Body and Asterioid silver bumpers/trims

Someone buy my ute or make me an offer on a LS1 so i can continue with this more :)

[DanWA]

Blast from the past

Going LS1/LS2 route now, RB gear from the LX won't handle the heat from skids so only other reasonable options as holden V8's take ALOT of money to make good power...

Fitted calais front on weekend, almost ready for painter.

Is that front off of a wagon by any chance ?

[e30_power]

[DanWA]

Yeah 31-EVO its from vlt88wa from calaisturbo.com.au, genuine popup front... had it on his 5spd turbo calais wagon

Its not LSD, its got a spool and the NA gear is fucked, got 3rd gear and reverse...
