P_Star

haha, PStar plate is long gone, and I'm pretty sure we ain't making any more HighOctane... might show up in an ep of Redline one day though keen as to git'r'done though... currently refreshing my mind as to what is needed, what fits etc etc etc lol

yeah it was just too good to let it see the crusher, lines all look straight, couple of minor (good, metal) rust repairs and a tiny bit of bog in the rear wheel arch which I will pull out and patch properly... dash is even clean and non cracked... Looking forward to it!

yeah pretty sure they are all the same... for about 10 years And by excellent chance quite a few boes have left over bits cluttering up their respective joints

I failed to have a REALLY good dig around but it looks like most of the random bits are there... the rear scuttle panel with reflectors etc is in the boot, forgot to check lights but fingers crossed they are there/can likely get them new out of the phillipines or some such worst case scenario. Just figured out that being 'murican' market Rockauto has pretty much every mechanical part for it for $3 so that's nice. Steeeeebbbb... not sure I will be running with best wheels in the world (won't!) but I will try and dig up a pic I have of my mum's galant with I think me as a wee tacker in front of it, I'm certain you will enjoy it. Yeah Goat it needed to be saved, too rust/damage free to leave to the crusher... luckily the Zebra fella let it go a little cheaper than he really wanted to... meant I could buy... AKA those jokers are ace

Ok so thanks to some peer pressure, and some bribery from our very own Bigfoot I ceased umming and ahhhhing about buying the Galant sell that had been calling my name from Zebra. She is a 1972(woohoo vintage reg) Mitsubishi Galant 16L... or Dodge Colt in the US... or Dodge Cricket in Canada (not to be confused with the US Dodge Cricket... which is actually an avenger lol... fucking "muricans! Shell is in very good nick with minimal bog or rust immediately obvious and the majority of the important bits there or there abouts including all the glass, dash, interior trim bits etc so the complicated to replace stuff seems to be there which is handy. Need to track down Engine/Box... i'm gonna go with the easy option of 4g63 non turbs which I know goes awesome in this weight body (had same in my second LB Lancer and it was a hoot) Steering column could be a little trick but need one of those too. Bigfoot has some spares that he has said i can make use of so struts/springs/dif etc so I can get her rolling which is fucking ace! need to figure out wheels and paint at some point soonish. But my mum had an awesome orange one on THE BEST WHEELS IN THE WORLD steve... aka turbos lol... and my grandmother had a rad silver one. Leaning toward a real rich burnt orange at this stage but it is early days... don't even pick it up till saturday haha. Anyway, pics As it sits right now: And how they are supposed to look haha: Sleek! Dodge! Low! factory spec! Edit: further good news is that reg is on hold and shit so once I slap it back together I can just get wof and roll, jeah!

Nah bro needs guide coat and stickerbomb panel and maybe something held on with a chain... can you add some more camber? lolz looks fucking rad, I'm mad jealous I don't have one/anywhere to drive one/any of these things haha

you won't get to find out this month, too lazy to dig the car out but I will bring him along anyway haha. Nah, just a bit aussie spec for this forum I suspect 18zzz!!! lol admittedly I understand they are there to fit some big brakes/don't care, told him to get some turbos/modgies/factory steels/teddybears I don't actually think I have seen it on the new wheels haha, should go have a trawl through his fb pics Edit, not full aussie rollerskate style but not my style of wheel for ye olde car... some thin 5spoke things.

I'll be there for a change, trying to get my mate to come and bring his RX4... I did tell him y'all would probably make fun of his wheels though so he might have chickened out

If the grant/ross house is under a bit much construction you are welcome to dump it on my lawn too, which is just around the corner from them... whatever works

YES! this is appropriate spare tyre location Lookin' tuff looks heaps like my old one actually

So much WIN!!!!

Giz

Ok, we should stop spamming this fred now. Looking forward to more progress/pics

3 sheets of ply isn't super spendy... well, more than I can currently afford but you know what I mean haha

where's the fun in that

I know, inspirational. Those teardrops look to be fairly straight forward to construct, especially if you lose the rear "kitchen/storage" thing which I would have to leave off simply due to needing the length for me legs haha I'm thinking of one that can slip onto trailer for camping duties and then off for regular trailering work... just depends how light you could make it.

Fuck yeah, in related news so keen to build a little teardrop camper trailer thing for adventures. / /endspam, This thing looks rad!

I only own souless shit/french modern Oh well... will money at some stage I'm sure A couple (probably repost) pics of 2 of the 3 series' of my past: #Pine

lolz, I loved dailying my series despite it having no roof most of the time/getting rained on... 3 feet of slop in the steering, heavy as a mofo to park... didn't give a single fuck loved that bitch Want Giz

Would love to but broke as fuck... stupid mortgage. fake edit: not yuck paj cam All the landrovers!

Fuck. Yes! Much win

I am very slack, so here are a few snaps from the Feb lol no Ritchie quality but I'm still coming to grips with the new rig.

Forgot all about this fred as I never check the tech section... now I'm pining again lol

I thought I was in the same position... then she arrived from the states for a short visit after 5 years and shit went back to awesome... apart from all the issues, boyfriend, different country etc etc Oh well, gone now I can go back to concentrating on not working on any of my projects
