Paint the 12's gold to match your pinstripe maybe.

Yeah no worries mate.

Hey Brad, looking good. Why not stick the radiator in the boot and feed it off NACA ducts and vents?

Counter sink the rivets

1200 City turbo 2 motor will bolt straight in, go for that.

yes, with the samurai swords!?!

I reckon gold centres for the wheels.

Rip in to it before you loose momentum, tackle the easy stuff first and work your way up to the big ones. If I could weld, I'd definately try and give it a good crack. Don't get rid of it.

ahhhh, yeah...

Is someone like me allowed to rock up in a Shuttle?

Oh is that you Matt? If he's keen for beers, let me know, thanks.

Yeah if someone is keen to give me a hand one weekend/night with the torsion bars, have mega beers for payment. I can do it by myself, just don't want to fuck it up.

Cheers, Chris.

still $1000 with out tyres for rip offs....I would find something else.

Had no luck with Strong's on the fender mirrors:(. Kyteler are you able to find out how much those mirrors are from the wreckers? Also if anyone has any gen 1 RX7 ones, could be keen.

I suppose only if the lights and housings could swivel up and down to get the correct angle parallel to the road, mounting something like those would be piece of piss.

Probably would work Brad, a lot less work involved also. I'll have a troll around a few places and see what they recommend.

Also Brad, are your high stop lights in the Holden a factory part? I can't remember if you said or not, I want some.

Oh sweet man, I'm gonna have a swim through Strong's to see if I can find some lurking somewhere.

They might actually work I think, because the biggest problem I have found is the giant rake from the headlights to the windscreen. I have looked at those in the past, but didn't think they were boxy enough.

After I find some fender mirrors, I will have to try and make some blanking plates for where the originals were situated. I was thinking making a mould and then making a DIY vacuum mould to get it the blanking plates to look factory. Do you guys think this would work?

Also trying to locate some fender mirrors, Strongs don't have any and no one on NZHondas has any either. If anyone knows of any that would look sweet, let me know.

Thanks, Chris.

Update: Sold the Skyline.

Me and the missus, drove down to Welly last weekend and picked up a whole interior form an Si AH Civic Hatch. Put most of what I wanted in (front seats, carpet, center console) just waiting on plan of attack to fitting the dash (it's mint, no cracks) and go from there.

New Years Brad and I modified the rear suspension while on the chop and now have since picked up some 14x6 Mugen CF48s for cheap.

No photo's of interior yet. And needs more low at the front, have talked to someone and it's only a matter of taking out the torsion bars on each side and notching a spline out for more adjustability.

oh stink I thought the R31 had reg on hold?

Yeah nah, forgotten all about it to tell you the truth Phill. I think it hasn't run out yet, but in a week or so if I remember rightly.

Just been sitting in the shed doing SFA.

Yeah I know, sucks. Had good plans for the car but I think it should go to someone who can actually make use of it.

Note: Passage is De-Reg, no WOF. But nothing that can't be fixed by someone who knows what they are doing. Motor runs, no smoke, but I think the 25 yr old electrics and/or Air flow sensor need a re-haul.

Just came back from seeing my good mate Chris from Strongs, has sorted me out a set of E-AT rear Shocks. Hopefully these won't fully slam the fuck out of it like they do when you do the EF swap.

Also have ordered a set of 15" 2-piece, Black Racing wantanabe styled wheels.

They look exactly like these in the pic, I really want to paint the centres a flat Gold colour to match my sweet-as pin stripes. What do you reckon?

Will pick up parts on Tuesday, sweet.

Edit: wheels were taken off the donor car but a couple were buckled:(

Ok started this thread, mainly because I went for a WOF today and while I was under the Shuttle on the hoist, the warrant guy pointed this little fella pinned up underneath my car.

A cool little score if I don't say so myself! So here's some picks of my badge, pics of the car will be up later.

Het guys get voting for the best oldschool car on speedhunters. Take the poll and vote for this '79 Toyota Cressida Coupe owned by Jeff vandeLarr. Would be good to get a feature on a kiwi car such as this. He's winning in the poll so far.
