My "Probeject"

1995 Ford Probe GT 2.5L DOHC 24V V6

I am in Hamilton, New Zealand (Aotearoa) and the Ford Probes are not at all common with modders/tuners over here, nor are the MX-6. There are a few driving around NZ but not as many as you would think. So I am aiming at making this the Best Looking & The Fastest PGT in NZ - or least try (so long as no one beats me to it!)

SEE BELOW for more information about my Beast!

These Are My Personalised Plates! Can you figure it out!? Answer is at the very bottom of this page (dont cheat, try figure it out first)!

 Most work will be done by Myself, with "maybe" a bit of help from my mates and/or brother. Any serious work, will be done Professionally to avoid 'mistakes'.

-----PROGRESS (updated as I progress - slowly)-----

---Have currently taken out all interior panels (door panels & rear quarter panels & all pillars) so I can paint them just for now just to make them look better, get some colour in there for now. Photos will be put up when painted. Will have everything colour in Vinyl or something later, when $ allows.

---Fitted the gearknob, pedal covers & gear stick boot. See photos on Page 4 - they look awesome!

---Have finally completely removed the engine & gearbox! Now just dismantling the engine & thoroughly clean every single bit including the engine bay. Then have everything polished or painted (as listed under my to do list), do a small rebuild with all the belts/seals etc and then drop engine & manual gearbox back in! Gearstick, Pedals, ECU, etc are all put in - just need the 'box & engine back in & its ready to drive. See "TO DO LIST" for what I am going to do before reinstalling!

---Removing COMPLETE AirConditioning system (every little bit of it) to lose some weight as I never used it anyway! Have removed the aircon radiator & all the piping so just got 2 things left- the pump attached to the alternator & the unit under the dash which is going to be a mission (any tips on how to remove the dash part or if it is even possible?!)

---Windscreen needs to be replaced as it has cracks all over it - will be done when conversion is finished to avoid breaking another one.

--Need to ensure front of car is all straight before reinstalling engine, as I rearended someone ages ago. Dont some damage but not sure how severe.

---Front Calipers painted with 'Dark Blue Engine Enamel' Paint. Just need a Clear Coat.

--Both Rocker Covers painted with 'Blue with Engine Enamel' Paint. Just need a Clear Coat. But still Heaps more bits to paint/polish - as per my list below.

Thats all I can think of for my (WISH LIST).
These will take a few years, but I wont bother with any of that until my "first" list has been completed.

All Modifications will be Certified to NZ Standards so I can pass my Warrant of Fitness & the Cops wont be able to do SHIT to me..."hahaha".
Modifications (Waiting To Fit/Be Done) means I already got the stuff, just need to do it when time and/or money allows. (MY TO DO LIST) are Modifications I AM going to do, but need to buy the parts, get quotes, and so on then will be put onto the "waiting list". And (MY WISH LIST) are what I "WANT" to do, but are not confirmed yet.

Most work (60% of it) will be Professionally done, some of it will need to be "Certified" or just Impossible for Me & my Mates to do. Where as the small jobs, just Bolt-ons will be done by Me and maybe my Brother & maybe help from some of our mates.

Any bullshit comments will be deleted! Only feedback, suggestions or comments thanks.

This Probe GT is going to be Crazy.
Inside, Outside, Engine.
Will be NZ's Finest Probe when I finally finish!
