98-0111: The Rusty Barnacle - mid 2020 updates
I don’t log in very often; so here’s brief intro to The Rusty Barnacle.
I really wanted a modded / front end conversion / branded title ITR to replace my GSR, but ended up with a stock (sans roll bar & harness), clean title, rusted ITR. Then obviously I couldn’t mod it and I decided the rust needed to be cleaned up to prevent further decay. Currently entering year 3 of making everything as minty fresh as possible.

YouTube - somehow I went from documenting everything that was done for future owners reference to probably 1,000 hours of video footage - which I try to publish as shorter sped up video. More recent videos are better (editing due to experience). One day when I have time I hope to do some cool videos with the footage...

This looks promising!
Where is that motor from? - it looks exceptionally clean.

Original motor - probably with more work put into it than I thought I’d have on the entire car!!!Little_Nolan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 10:37 am This looks promising!

You should have the ac compressor capped off to keep dust and contamination out .

Awesome, I love a quality build thread and this one already impresses me. We will have to make some call outs to you DIY/Tech videos via dedicated threads, etc. Happy to help there.
I have also added this thread to our build thread list:

I've been following this build, you've been doing a good job. Keep it up! Hopefully one day I can see it completed at Expo or something
