Lower front springs will be in my possession tomorrow

will try and make it this time 7:30 is it?

looks sweet must drop my 240 as soon as funds allow

have obtained these wheels from Ratt as seen on some thread or another, jacked the rear end up and polished two of them up with the car idling in gear damn it makes it quick and easy.

didnt like the idea of a new sterio in the dash all the talk of running an ipod/mp3 player got me thinking. am radio has no static and has a built in amp opened her up and had a quick look at my options cut the ear plugs off an old set of head phones and bridged the channels together Located the volume control and tapped in to the input connection an grounded the negative channel from the head phone jack heres how its connected at the moment set a button to a blank station. uses the factory volume control and the AM radio still works as Factory

bit of maintenance crap done oil change and filter new fuel filter changed a couple of heater hoses that were well past there use by date nothing pic worthy

took to the parcel tray today. the old fabric was ripped and looked like ass removed the old and laid down some new its just taped to the board at the moment. when its back out to put speakers in i will put some thin foam under the fabric and staple/glue it down and back in the car looking so much better

point taken but some retards out there dont always follow such advice

any one ever put seat belts in the back of one of these? i know they arnt legally needed but i dont like human projectiles in an impact

had a play with the rear springs flipped the top two leafs(the second leaf over hangs the eyes so cant flip just one without trimming the ends) chalk line is springs original arc vs new reset hight and all bolted back in and its dropped it about 5 inches its about an inch off the bump stops like that, will flip it back till i get the front dropped as she's too nose high at the moment.

plan is to flip the main spring and then add blocks if needed looking at options for front coils at the moment

when i was getting the Wof some random young Guy was offering to buy it off me. i just laughed and told him id only had it a month

did some cruzing around last night put 130 miles on her with out a hitch apart from the blue whale like handling she runs sweet pic of cleaned up engine bay and painted cam cover here is the curent ride hight - went down to a 185/60r14 tire in preporation for lowering to come( looks a bit odd at the moment) and here is a quick photoshop at about 2 inches slower, will aim for 3 but want at last 2 inches of drop

four tires and some wire on the light ring and She's legal fucking stoked. now to do some driving full update and pics tomorrow

had the exhaust welded up and took her over for a WOF. failed on a few things but less than i was expecting 2 little bits of rust - all sorted now exhaust leak - 2 zaps with the MIG and its all good brakes not balanced - have bleed and adjust the rears head light not secure - damn trim ring lost a leg, will hit the wreckers today and all 4 tires are perished and need to be replaced - new this but took it down like that anyway so find some tires and a trim ring an see should be ready to roll, might even happen today if i can get my ass in to gear

let there be light - 4 new head lights are in and doing what they should new battery and it starts on its own again - sweet sanded the cam cover and painted it matte black, this makes the engine bay look 138.4% tidier.

got offered the set of blocks for a box of piss. first i need to get it on the road, then make it closer to the road

reckon i could pass a wof with 4" lowering blocks?

had some time today to get my hands dirty removed the rear bumper to straighten it up a little Found a dead wasp nest hiding behind one side( no wasps left on it luckily) sorted the rear muffler mounts so its hanging properly again. oh and removed tow bar while i was at it. Have been polishing her up a little this week. is not super shiny but it came up alright also got the rear lights all working sweet sorted a battery mount fixed leaking heater hose got the heater contol unstuck (still need to fix the fan) fixed the head light mounts so the hi/low beams were both on the outside and hi only were on the insides, the passengers side ones were reversed? nothing a dremmel cant fix in 5 mins

got creative with the white paint

Brakes are sorted. stops pretty good for an old girl. electrics all ready to rock. just have to buy some bulbs. cleaned the glass for shits and giggles things to do before WOF check -new rubber mounts for exhaust -weld up a hole in the muffler -new battery -battery strap should be heading for a test next weekend all going to plan no pics cos im to lazy at the moment

starting to get on top of the electrical issues. dirty connections and blown bulbs mainly

i have started looking at the electrical issues (no headlights and shit) checking front brakes as one was dragging a bit on the way home. will look at a rebuild kit for both maybe.

I have acquired this automobile. Now back to you regularly scheduled programing Oh and mods can I get an Amen/ name change

its mine, all mine, muhahahahaha did the danger mouse run home and made it with only 2 mishaps had to top up brake fluid as the pedal was going soft. the exhaust decided it had had enough of gravity and had a lie down so a bit of wire later and it was back to where it should be plans so far = WOF, lowered and mags probably not in that order
