yeh i agree, i would have preferred the 60's shape. but this was just to cheap to pass up haha what about a woodys beetle?

time to start thinking about paint options/schemes will be doing my wheels and tyres like this with red leather interior also just need to think of the body colour. thinking along the lines of these colours any ideas or opinions?

yeh yours is really nice! i need to narrow mine quite abit if i want it to lay frame

front panel/spare wheel well done today, thanks to nick (Mr Currie) did a sweet job. tackling the rest of it tomorrow!

I'm planning on doing a airshock setup in the front of the beetle and modified front beam with the beam im planning to shorten it as much as possible and modify the mounting points for the shocks like this and the airshock setup im planning on is just a monroe airshock to achieve this

discussion thread-//oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=34252 it's been ages since iv'e been on this forum, and i miss it haha. been working on silly nissan drift cars. but getting back into the oldschool goodness. scored a cheap 1969 vw beetle. guttless 1200, but meh its fun. got it with a wof&rego. must've been dodgy because now iv'e started pulling it apart ive found alot of rust. picked up some rust free doors and bonnet. will update when progress in made on the rust

got some wheels

lol cheater5, red it is.. my mate who is wiring it up for me is familar with megasquirts i guess, and also cost, link g3's etc are right up there. more than the engine its self.

lol love it how you say "when you decide to paint to boso" haha im planing to keep the car, as much as i love boso cars wouldnt want to drive round looking like a clown everyday. black is way sexy though. isnt out there as much

this thread is almost getting as bad as toyspeed, so much bitch'n. car looks rad btw. like your mum said, don't say anything if you havn't got anything good to say.

anyways any ideas or advice you guys have for me doing this conversion, also will be riping my engine out soon so wondering what colour you guys think i should paint my car, i was thinking either straight red or black dont want to go crazy over the top boso style or anything

mate yours is poo on a stick and you know it. g series? = ew jz series = yum

small update brought myself a 1jzgte non vvti, twin turbo, hopefully picking it up soon so will get pics up then plan is to: -replace cambelts and all other belts -single turbo manifold -large t3 turbo non wastegated, unsure what exactly to go with -external wastegate -v mount intercooler? or front mounted? -larger fuel pump? -megasquirt ecu -full exhaust custom from back of turbo -larger injectors maybe 2jzgte if they are much bigger? wanting 230-250kw atw but we will see what happens when the time comes and what wages allow me to do haha

whats wrong with mesh you homo

im down for cyber

yeh man you should ditch the datto lol. nah dont do that, its way to cool, but yeh some guy is selling some cool ones on trademe, he got a red one with 5mge, and he is thinking about selling a white one with a 1uz manual http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =201937341

yeh ive looked over it n over it. haha yeh 5mge is good 4 me now, if i do a conversion will do jz or uz.. but thatll be way further down the line.

yeh needs a little work, but before i do any of that i need a electrical problem sorted, dont no what i did wrong when i was hooking up the loom, but it wasnt getting any power to anything apart from lights and hazzards, then i tried put constant power to crank and it turned over ( but wouldn't start ) then i tried to put power to acc, and the dash lights came up, then burnt out my fusible links and a relay i think, replaced them and now i cant even hook the battery up without the fusible links burning out, pretty sure itll be a easy fixed and something stupid ive done, but im lost with ideas . once thats fixed ill start throwing money at it

yeh cheers mate. theres the inspiration.

yeh love the look of it ae. yeh they welded up just need to get it running again

yeh man they are yeh haha the camber is just crazy gona use them as skidders once i find two more 15inch watanabes cheers man

got this afew months ago like this has a dirty 5mge fairly stock complete mint oringinal interior 2.5inch full exhaust 14x7's with "drift spec" tires 235/65's on the back didn't find it the most attractive car when i first got it haha thought it was kind of ugly, but that all changed had some adjustable suspension made up for the front with cut down struts, ae92 shocks (its quite a big car, think ae92 shocks are abit to light weight but its a nice ride) and sleeve kit and keeper springs ( fully captive at all height ) lowest height would be crossmember touching the ground for the rear supsension setup did a pickapart job, got really thick previa springs, sit prefect, and some 3way damper koni shocks also stole some guard mirrors off my cressida to see how it would look and threw some 14x6 and 14x6.5 impul meshes on that i had laying round and this is how it turned out after having to go up and down a long bitch of a gravel driveway and having it at a stupid height it ate away at my sump and draind my oil out, by the time i realised it was to late lucky "deafrattle" was wrecking a ma61, and picked up a new 5mge threw it in no trouble now stuck with a bitch of a electrical problem, sure itll be a easy fix just some stupid thing, its just trying to find it also brought some 15x7 watanabes and 15x7 ssr mk3s here is how she sits the camber problem but the camber came in handy for one thing plans for the near future, get my electrical problem sorted, if anyone can help pm me give it a respray in factory red or black not sure yet and get two more 15inch watanabes 7.5 or 8inch wide (if anybody knows of any) get an auto ratio diff and also a lsd

anyone good with electrics?
