  1. What a fuckstain. Did you ask how many motor swaps he did in his "years" of being a mechanic, and how many wreckers specifically state cambelt must be replaced for warranty purpose. Insurance companies are fucking parasites.
  2. Should have used a sheet of checker plate m8
  3. Can't be many shops who could do a proper metal finish though, hence the 4" of bog in your case. Pretty piss poor if they were offered a replacement panel and said no though!
  4. Oooh, OMP lines still look nice and fresh
  5. From what I've seen/heard, the balance pipe gives it the typical V8 rumbley sound, twin pipes sound like two four cylinders..
  6. It must be a little sad, even though the plan was always to sell it, to think that it's nearly time for it to leave. You've put so much work into it!
  7. I'm stoked you grabbed it, seemed a shame for it to be rotting away there
  8. $500+ for the repair cert itself, plus the cost of remedial work if needed
  9. God, that makes me mad, you must be furious! Little scum bastards. At least insurance seem to be pretty good about it
  10. Haha,we did this with a big flathead screwdriver to a mates old Sunny way back when, made it sound like it had some grunt. The mid 90's was so much more relaxed on "mods" like that
  11. Most importantly, did you perform a full load stationary cooling system test to 100% confirm the problem has gone?
  12. 7K's are harder to fit too, being much taller and wider. Sweet for a daily where you aren't gonna be thrashing the pants off it though
  13. Ohhh, I remember this car. One of my customers work ex boys was using I think
  14. More cubes always help when you're playing with old tech!
  15. Don't go too overboard on a 3K, you'll never make big power out of it, and if you overcam it it'll be a horrid bag of shit to drive. Stick with a mild cam and 6k redline, it'll be heaps more fun to drive
  16. Nothing says manly like a massive old M tooth crosscut saw. If I ever won powerball I'd be 100% up for buying a bushblock and trying to build my own place like that. I'd die in the process of course, but it would be a great story for my kids to tell their kids
  17. I have the perfect donor vehicle for a 4AGZE swap fyi
  18. Yeah picked the 3Y straight away, couldn't pick the dash cluster though! I foamed a little at the BG GTR they have
  19. Sweet yard! Dafuq is this though? http://www.marumin.com/stock/detail.php?r_corp=78&r_shop=78&r_car=3682014&page_n=1
  20. The above, but rolling on Titans, WITH centre caps
  21. swapz foa twennyfi debt cef g?
  22. I think its the horn pad that runs the facelift steering wheels, its just so chunky and bleh. Buy my car for spares plzkthnx
  23. Water seals are pretty reasonably priced, could probably do a decent refresh under 2k if the housings aren't peeled to shit
