decided to sand some of the primer back to see whats underneath, i love how ratty it looks now however the police did not, i knew this was only a matter of time, will be changing wheels back to remove sticker and gettin an adjustable panhard rod made and certification

have painted a pair of the 13x8s and put on some nankang 175/50/13s have measured and the offset is -15. They're such a small tyre an have dropped the ride height a lot, not to sure if i'll use the same size on the front yet.

I spotted you leaving panel shop this evening, i was in ratty gemini. car looks awesome an quite low

discuss/disgust here

put other pair of rims on yesterday, will need some guard work in the rear in the very near future.

Now to find some smaller rubberbands and do something in the engine department. will most likely do paint last, personally hate the primer but was like this when i purchased it and needs more panel work done before i can think about painting it

saw this at steel surgeon when i was picking up my steels on Friday. Looking awesome!

Been boating around in this since December 2011, have done a few things to tidy it up, still have a large list. Just passed wof a couple weeks ago.Big ups jase for posting the code for the monroe rear shocks to make my springs captive.

Here's a couple of pics from when i first got it.

Pics from today

Joining the masses an doing the widened steel gag, picked up first pair from steel surgeon today and fitted them with gross 175/70/13s for now. They're 13x8 negative heaps offset.

still on the hunt for an engine for this or something that will easily fit/ideas?

is anybody able to bring a dash from masterton to tauranga or close to for a couple boxes off beer or $40 cash as mainfreight wants around 90 depo to depo.

not telling haha na its actually nt tooo bad compared to some of the others ive had, just usual shitty patches done around pedal box and passengers footwell ill get tidied up

woops i meant w123 haha

oh yea the w124 series? ive had one of those that was 80mm off the ground was fricken awesome. this is my 3rd one of this shape including a 2.8 dohc fuel injected one

yea got 2k from insurance, wrecking galant to make up the difference that i paid for this

haha i was festering around the net looking for 2jz or 1uz conversions to do maybe over next winter but couldnt find to much other than people saying they dont fit

hey guys this is my latest boat to replace the galant gt, its a 1972 mercedes 220 brand new wof on friday on some unknown "professionally lowered" springs.its a 4speed manual fuck i wish it was auto the manual sucks balls with its confusing-lift for reverse keep boosting forward in first instead-stz

thought best to post here as its not really a project/build at this stage?

all i plan to do is get it a bit lower with the original chrome hubcaps and whitewalls and use the fuck out of it for summer

im not insured but guy who hit me is, it got towed away today find out what the settlement amount will be or if they're going to fix it tomorow.yea i work at st lukes saw you take that picture haha its always parked where i can see it.

5 series bmw made me the ham in the sandwhich with a peoplemover of some sort

Haha thought I saw you mate I used to live on invermay ave now I'm just up in new Windsor/ blockhouse bay

good to see what mine COULD look like if i actually got my a into g an did something

Know what you mean man sucks when shits been dodgeed/hidden

i took gee lant to vtnz kingsland today for pink sticker removal, from my dads description the guy who checked it is 2nd in charge.

failed on

both headlights out of align (they are way on the piss)

both front coil springs loose (they are captive up and down but able to turn them for some reason moving them out of their seat)

l/f shock leaking (both front shocks are f@#$ed)

remedy play both front steering links(tie rod ends? these are rooted)

things he missed :

siezed rear caliper

one of the front shocks leaking

very loose drivers seat on mount

those lower control arm mounts to the struts are roooooted

exhaust has quite a few leaks

overall im pretty happy with the outcome as these are things i knew were wrong before i took it in and only half of them were picked up.

also super stoked at lack of any mentioning of rust on a 1981 mitsi

anything thats half decent i guess? if its not black thats ok i can dye it or something? just want to tidy up the boot really

all i need is the drivers side half and all you need is the passengers half right phil?

as for how much i'd pay for carpet i dont actually know haha um $50 including freight?

sorry not reading properly just saw your coming back to auckland haha 50 for that carpet and is there any other trim in the boot phil? plastics etc? mine is completely stripped

far out that maroon one looks so much like my old wreck, cant believe i ever actually thought id get that thing on the road (dreams are free)
