Thanks guys. Unfortunatley photos make it look better than it is, the front end panel alignment (mainly bumper and bonnet) is a bit rough due to a repaired accident from the previous owner, but maybe im just too picky  |

Gauge holder I knocked up few weekends back:
Its a bit rough, but will do until I find a reasonably priced Crux one.
Very happy with the gauges, illumination looks a lot better then in the photo (phone cam).
Car is completely stock, but manages to pull 1 Bar of boost. |

Not $100+ for a little bit of plastic. How might you be able to help?
Was going to get onto my mate in Japan to hunt me down one, even second-hand. |

Had an altercation with a Hayman Reese towbar yesterday. Front bar is in bad shape and bonnet latch got moved, but the bonnet and everything else survived. Looks like I have some work to do on the weekend...  |

| Haven't got around to taking a photo of it. Already pulled the bumper off, few cracks and heavily pressed in at the middle. Hoping my heat gun will sort most of the deformation out. Bonnet latch might be a bit of a hassle, seems that area was softened up when the previous owner crashed it. |

| Not so bad now that I've had a look under the shed lights and a bit of a play with it. Just need to finish reshaping it with the heat gun, then throw some epoxy on it. Getting the paint matched will probably be the hardest bit. |

Finding Paint match should be the easy bit.
Find the Paint Codes on the Plate under the Bonnet, then take that to an Auto Paint Supply Shop....should be able to match, Take your Petrol Cap as well, that way you can be sure....BEFORE you put it on.Shame about the accident, car looks very Cool..... |

| Yeah, but that still relys on the paint shop getting it mixed right. Last time I tried it was a Toyota colour available in Australia and it was still off... |

Update:
Finally got all the bits I needed to replace together and found some time to start on it. Big thanks to soldave for sourcing parts I couldn't get locally.
Some of the goodies:
Machined flywheel:
New clutch and pressure plate:
New gearbox mount:
As you can see in that last pic the old gearbox mount was completely split, which along with slightly worn engine mounts was the cause of my engine movement (as discussed in another thread). All were replaced with Suzuki Sport mounts. Also have diff mounts to go in this weekend.
As for my power loss, it turned out to be the clutch which was buggered from the day I bought it, so never noticed anything was wrong until it really started to let go under boost. Have a few bits to put on after work then its out for a test drive and hopefully all is good |

I had to get my green cappi's paint matched recently, just did like Sneaza said and it came out well...
Probably just depends on the shop you go to
looks like your Capp will be going well again soon

A mini update:
More parts arrived courtesy of soldave. Bearings and rings went straight to the engine builder who will finish up the short block, then its back to me to finish putting back together.
Also have these bits from a previous order from soldave awaiting the blocks return (and spoiled the Cap with some HID lamps from my mate):
Also have something special on order with Jesse, and a few other parts to eventually get... wallet feels lighter these days... |

Going for VHT Aluminium, rather than the factory black. Also, all the metal engine piping is translucent blue over metallic silver, hopefully will look good once assembled |
