Bazz1600

my 626 coupe used to have a big eden tyres sticker down the side, back when simon owned it, do u know him?

well car has been put back together for a while now, minus the interior. front wheels offset have been changed to +20 and are sitting real nice in front the car is on trademe, but only real reason its there is that i had a moment of cbf'd anymore, and it cost a shit load to list, so will just keep listing... am definatly open to offers if anyones interested, not that theres much lol but am keeping on keeping on with it, as it sits in my shed its not costing anything but my time... but within saying that i will be hitting a exspensie part of making it legal soon, and just like most of us, money is tight. any ideas what its going to cost to cert with all my mods? am told that because my adjustable lower arms dont have crush tubes that it maybe an issue? holla

//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/37161-wrcdat-rotary-datsun-1200/ love the colour scheme, cage looks good in contrast with colour

i have the same problem on my 626, the s5 four pots are so meaty that i had to use 8ml spacers and modify the wheels and use flares to keep them tucked in the guards... if i were to do it differently i would modify stock struts instead of using series 5 gear... on a positive note, i get almost perpendicular lock when its turned full lock... it seems to be a problem on 626s, if you look at the kuffem 62 on trademe his tyres are very proud on the front too, and hes using 4pots too

so after piecing it back together for a while i mananged to take it for a burn. god it was fun.. nabbed a few pics car is so close to cert its stupidly funny http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=545204236

try BTS Taranaki (bearing, transmission specialists) hes an online trademe store, he can do all sorts of sprockets, pullies basically everything, and is uber cheap

new plymouth here too

the colour is a new toyota colour called 'dark metal' the code is 1H3... has an oldschool look to it sorry i gave all my old stuff to anthony at olds cool autos as i had them on trademe for ages with no luck of selling them for cheaps i do have a spare '79 front... it does need some tlc, but is salvagable. also the grille and corner headlight bezels and indicator lenses... theyre becoming sortafter... i dig the series 2 front

panels only sitting there in these pics, not gapped properly just yet

for best results, prep, prime the area, sand the area, then seal, then paint. this is a guidline that we use at work following standox/glasurit restoration process. those sika sealants are good, but 3M have a bloody good sealer called "heavy drip check"... good stuff

yeah man, looks sharp ae, i wanted a colour that was new but looked sorta old. looks real dark/black in the shade but has a nice greenish/blue tone in the sun without too much sparkle. way happier with it compared to the lambo colour i was interested in ages ago spent a little time tonite fitting stuff, but am giving myself a break untill the weekend stoked though

such a huge milestone... painted the bloody thing today. looks amazing in person and you cant see shit in these pics. Was given some pretty flash clear for this, stoked as, i wasnt keen to fork out the $700 lol now this major part of the car is done i'll have copius amounts of enthusiasm to get the rest done. uber happy right now

paint has been ordered, (not cheap) car has been DA'd, ready for final sand hopefully tomorrow if time permits. wont be long for a decent update in true colour

lol at dog eyes, OOoooo grrrr

since theres been so much interest on my project (sarcasm dripping) another update!! finished my "prepping" of the spray bog, and prepped the boot floor area and engine bay today. smashed two mint coats of primer on the shell, painted my rear screen area black, aswell as inner guard area, and engine bay complete!, then since im such a fag for a nice texture finish i textured my modified boot interia. looks the biz. heres the engine bay: and a couple of the boot floor: excuse the masking etc... also excuse gay as imageshack for fucking up the dumb click on a pic shit Picking up my rear windscreen tomorrow from a good mate who is owner/operator of ProTint (0800PROTINT) window tinters, will be fitting the screen tomorrow and let the beast rest untill im back on wednesday fingers crossed that i'll get it home all shiney and new this time next week... god had better watch over my kids and stop them from scratching it hahaha

so after a few weeks mucking around i got it to work yesterday, and spent most of today prepping it for spritzfiller (spray bog)... During next week i'll be prepping hard and priming it, aiming to squirt some colour at it on saturday (fingers crossed)... so without further a due, heres a cupley pics of it masked in the booth ready for spritz... sorry i didnt get any after shots, but you get the idea

do these run balance shafts?

fuck me, how did i miss this fred, jebuz, shit is tight drool factor out of 10, is 12 nice job bro, keep it up... motivation can be hard to find, but thats really cool. definatley worth doing.

i think its pretty mean... im a rota fag tho

page 5 eeep, not alot has happened as of late due to lack of motivation/working heaps/drinking heaps of piss etc but i spent a weekend fixing shit that needed welding and thought i was basically ready to roll into work for the big panel job/respray, but found some meke rust in the, would you call them C pillers? must be B pillers being a two door coupe. quite bad, had to cut the rust out and reconstruct quite a bit... still waiting to tidy up then paint. scored 6 weld racing draglite mags which weigh two tenths of fuck all, all have balloon tyres, 4 of them are 15"x7", the other 2 have hoosier slicks and are a mamoth 10" wide... all for the huge sum of four and a half hours overtime at my work LOL, stoked. if anyone has a semi decent colour they think it should be painted please let me know as im still very undecided... btw, the series 5 front stuts etc in a 626=head fuck. they obviously have way more track compared to stock 626 gear and have made body work a major just to keep 7" wheels on the front... didnt help that i need 8mm spacers just to clear the 4pots... sheesh... 0 offset fml have gone to drastic measures and butcherd my guards and applied some universal flares, with stainless rivnuts and stainless m5 hex bolts (btw, rivnuts rule my fucking face tonight).. plug welding the rear inner guard to the outer was fun... im told each plug weld is equivelent to a PK screw, pffft wtf. will be buying 27mm spacers for the rear and the bigest tyres possible in the future to try meet the front tyre width (theyre only 195z on the front LOL) some of these pics dont show the flares all done. btw, dont have the draglites on in these pics, just my crappy mods

do want

as much as i fuckin love hotwires to bits (i mean heaps, best wheel ever) those mods on that car look the illest
