See your going to chrome expressions, minttttt see you there.

Keep up the great advice, im a complete novice so all of this feedback is very helpful. im grabing a mates multimeter this week so i can check a few things.

the cable from the battery to the solenoid gets very, very hot when connected, any ideas what would cause that?? 

Also if i am replacing earth wires, because they are pretty corroded and shot, can i just use standard insulated cable??

cheers

Mattteeeeeee. this awesome. Thats the perfect rota souund.

Ok this is insanely awesome....

New parts..... still wont start tho. im thinking maybe the starter solenoid is shot cos the positive battery cable gets really hot when hooked up to a battery.

bogus wiring untill i get some proper fitting crimps haha

Also jacked up this on photoshop, this is where i want it to be when its done.

I have my inspiration. My dads a builder so ive got all the tools. On a scale on 1-10 how hard was it?  

AND THIS HAPPENED

I hooked it up to a battery and it turned over but no spark, so im gona replace the coil, dizzy cap and leads and try again.

sooo this happened, i finally accepted that 14s are to big and picked up these widened 13

Dont stick out to far haha

They come off a ford so if anyone has hubcaps that will fit id be grateful

In the process of deciding wether i should completely strip my body down and take it to a body place and get it done properly, or just hack into my self.... surely cant be that hard can it...

Anyone Have a parts car?? even something with live plates

That primer grey is 100x better that poo brown haha. glad you changed that haha

i think the visor sticks up way to high. 

where did you buy your flares?

How many of you will be going to this?

should be some solid fun and only $40 to enter your car.

big day...

got some wheels 14x6 they will be staying white untill i have the car painted , good and bad news tho....

good news? the fronts fit

and they have mad fitment

bad news? the only turn this far...  i think a smaller profile tyre should fix the problems tho 

The backs on the other hand dont fit at all because this is how close the stock wheels sit to the sub frame, thoughts on this?? been suggested maybe a bearing gone or the hydrolastic out of wack. i think a smaller profile tyre should fix the problems tho 

i also pulled off the rocker cover. looks pretty decent to me. i think my 29,000 miles are actually genuine

I wouldnt touch vtnz with a 10 foot pole... the smaller places are always better in my opinon

Have you seen the mighty car mods supercharged mini build? 

sickkkk

my plan was to get it running before xmas, but working 2 jobs, 12.5 hours a day, doesnt leave much time for it

ok so i havent had much time lately but i wanted to try the whole rust vs vinegar thing and it actually works

this was my first go left it over night then gave it a quick wire brush.

gave it a coat of paint

then i realised i had forgot the overflow tank cap face palm

but that one cleaned up even better

worked well on bolts aswell

Plus I'll just make another goldsack account and outbid you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm kidding, but yeah he could just sell it to you the old fashioned way. Ie, sell it to you and not go through trademe or any of that sort of money hungry middleman service which is only really good if you don't have a buyer lined up.

didnt you end up winning those?? haha

yeah ill just jump the fence with my tool box hahaha. 

haha nah glad you did the white roof it kinda breaks the colour up a bit.

Just the lens. Could you make a trade me auction for it?

Was poo brown really a good colour choice :/
