I was never set on any particular direction (other than turning it into a beast) but thought engine upgrade first then finish paint... So first i bought some Dual Solex Carbs and fixed the linkage, then bought a rebuild kit and overhauled it on the bedroom floor - girlfriend loved this part!!...

Then after saving bought bits for going Turbo - couple of starion engines for their turbos, bought a newly done block with new Pistons just installed - epic fail here as only realised mid way in engine swap that it was a narrow block and wouldnt fit my setup. Had another Head fully reconditioned and just about ready for Engine rebuild...

Old engine off to the shop to get bored and honed for the piston swap with narrow block...

And dropped back in...

Drove it (hooray) for a bit while collecting turbo intake and Carby and saving for Exhaust...

Then added Turbo kit intake and handed it over to a mate for new 3 Inch Mandrel bent Exhaust, Screamer pipe and Turbo addition... and it all worked!!! - Thanks Cav...

So this is where i am at the moment: Have bought a full EFI setup that i still need to hook up as well as power steering bits. In desperate need for Clutch/Gearbox upgrade before i continue - looking for a Starion Manual gearbox/hydrollic clutch set-up but would love some suggestions on this. Ive read of people going with Supra or Celica boxes... any ideas?? I have parked it in the garage and am on an Overseas trip but cannot wait to get back into it next year. So until then i need to formulate the next stages of planning. Have started on the interior so this is very high on the priority list.
Took some last photos before i left for OS and here they are, have since had my brother put in some new carpet for me but this is pretty much how it sits... will keep updating but would really love some ideas and constructive (or otherwise) criticism so i can keep going with my project - engine/gearbox/body etc. Cheers all, go Scorpion!!!

Well Back from overseas and back into the project. Had my wedding recently and my lovely wife agreed that we could use the Scorp as one of the wedding cars... which of course meant that i had to spend some more money on it!! So after a few quotes and much deliberation I decided to get the interior done. And here's the result! A great job from a husband and wife team in Brisbane. Going for the 70's look and think we nailed it
