    End of an era! This is a great thread, I thoroughly enjoy reading the updates and learning about all the upgrades to white! Such valuable information

    Look forward to seeing Kamei on the track, and the lap times getting better and better!

    thoroughly enjoyed seeing the progression of this over the years, and enjoyed seeing it drive at a few events. Look forward to the next phase!

    From wreck to race and back to road again. I've started de-tuning and road prepping white.

    It's quite a nostalgia trip as I undo the race mods I've done over the years.

    White's back out of the garage to make room while I work on the Kamei golf.

    I had to put a gearbox back in and it fired right up.



    Hopefully I'll have some time to do some more work on it over the break.

    I've got a few days off over Easter so I'm trying to get white ready for a roadworthy test.

    The windscreen is very sandblasted after a few years on the track. With the screen coming out it was time to investigate the pillars for rust.

    There was more rust in the pillars than I was expecting. Previous owner had done a good job of bogging it up.

    I had to repair the inner piece as well as replacing the outer skin.

    I've got a progressive Weber to go into this, just need to find a stock or mild cam to suit solid lifters.

    Good to see white getting some much needed care and attention, btw I absolutely love this thread I couldn't tell you how many hours I've spend reading it over and over.
