Outrun Deluxe (Turbo De-conversion) Restoration
- Thread starter clarkey
- Start date
Fiberglass reassembled.
Right hand side pod mounted up.
Left hand side pod and the spoiler back in.
Chair back in, god this was a pain the butt! Took about an hour and a half to get it back in place.
Headrest on (3 pairs of hands needed)
All wrapped up ready for the room it's in to now be painted, then I can finally unwrap the entire thing!

This build is incredible, great attention to detail. Probably scary if you start adding up the cost to get it to this point!

Great restore. I am so looking forward to doing mine this year.
Masked and painted all the wood on the cab part of the machine.
After
Repaired and painted the doors, painting all the metal parts and rewiring. Also put some 5380 locks in.
Finished the dash.
Painted lots of washers (I have issues
)
Used them to refit the rubber skirts.
New warning sticker.
Fitted a new microswitch and reused all the old wiring to refit the gear lever.
Managed to get some NOS screws as well
I think it looks better than it did!
Where the replacement screen had been fitted they had chopped off the connectors and used choc blocks, I was really pleased to find that who ever did it simply chucked the cut off connectors into the machine where I found them many years later.
Spliced them back in.
Used a car jack to lift the machine so I could install a replacement leg leveller into the bolt I welded in a few months ago.
At this point I have started testing power lighting etc, found most of the bulbs had gone so ordered replacements including a flo tube. Thanks to some help on the slack channel traced and resolved some issues with the rear lights.
Next job is to mount the screen, then test / fix the PCB.
