garvice Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Picture 251 explains it all "Bahrain" license plates. I was wondering who would be able to pay for a restoration in a shop full of ferraris and mercs. Now I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcer Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Those are good little cars. I've had two, and still own one. My dad tried to blow it up the other day on the highway. Didn't work, tough little beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 That is crazy. That is alot of work. Was the chassis number of importance? Would have been easier to build on a cleaner body. They did an amazing jog though. The engine looks like the twin plug head 4 on the Toyota GTP cars. Anyone know if it's the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If you want to see an amazing rally car restoration, see Carl Beck's BRE 240Z rally racer. It was at the convention this past year in Daytona. It is an amazing restoration, right down to the BRE forged pistons in the 13:1 L24 race motor. I have more photos I took from the convention that I can post if people are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 pete: those are photographs of Carl's car? They actually look like images of a toy or a model for some reason; I think its the surface that the car is parked on and the lack of anything else in the image to give it perspective.. Those Libras look NICE on that Z! I always was a fan of the more classic rim selections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 that looks like a 3D rendering used in order to get the restoration geometrically consistent around the entire car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 At the convention they had one of the NASCAR garage bays setup as a photo studio. They wet down the floor. I was actually going to say that it wasn't a photo of a plastic model in my original post.... (it does look like it) No, it's real, and an amazing restoration. Pete Brock provided Carl many photos of the car when it was raced so that he could do an accurate restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_denner Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Great,Clean and very tidy restoration !!! Picture 251 explains it all "Bahrain" license plates. I was wondering who would be able to pay for a restoration in a shop full of ferraris and mercs. Now I know. I do not think the restoration done in Bahrain, because you can see other cars pleates (They look europe) I think this guys bought the car from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
