Lets Find Him..another project car

Thats what it looks like.. Dodgy wreckers it seems.. All im saying is its an auto dismantlers in phillipstown..
-
Im at joes now. Its definetaly his car. Theres heaps of bits theyve missed where you can blatantly see the original paint job. Its crushed, but it was fine when it was dropped off at the wreckers in the morning. The wrecker drove the forklift into the shell in several places making it look damaged, then stacked 2 cars on top of it.. Salvaged the doors and boot, seats and dash..
-
im not convinced its the same car look at the paint, they painted everywhere, i mean everywhere, and where its dented and scrathed there no traces of red at all, meaning essentially it must have been taken back to almost or bare metal??
Everything is there and installed properly even the little bits that doors bump up to and turn off an on the interior lights, that shit takes a bit of effort and surely if you were just painting a car to conseal it you wouldnt bother taking them off or masking them,
Engine bays painted and everythin put back in it
Thats a fuckin good effort and im sure anyone whose painted a car will agree.
Please note i dont wanna start shit im just being curious, obviously things i cant see like chassis number will proove otherwise, it just seems to well done to be a quick flick backyard job
Yea you do have a real good point mate, I dont know for sure Im still at work but Ill let yas all know when I have a closer look tonight..
-
ahhh wasnt it red?
They don't mess round getting it painted
-
No I don't think he did...
This is the car now...
-
Yep... only salvaged wheels, doors, boot, some interior parts...
Bottom line is, it won't be back on the road.
Cunts need to be bashed.

Sup guys, I'm pretty keen to come meet some of you fellas / check out your sweet rides..
-
Just got tyres fitted today at Patterson Brothers Tyres, got real good service there.. Also had to get some special small wheel nuts and a special socket for them so they hooked me up with all that too. Put my park bench spec bumpers on front and rear, because I don't have a matching pair of chrome bumpers. I put the carpet in and the rear seat in..
Things to do before show day Saturday:
Find steering rack clamp brackets, put it in and hook it all up to struts
Fit front calipers
Attatch steering colomn to steering rack
Get rear shock rubbers for the diff mounts
Attatch rear boot lock
Get clip for left rear chrome window trim
Find front left bumper indicator (housing & lens)
Fit MR2 seats
Put dash in
That's it.
Had today off work, got heaps of shit done.. Got the rest of the week off to get it all finished.
Here's some pics

Only a 3 weeks till 4 n Rotary CHCH which I'm putting my car in to with 14 other Club K cars... I'm really pushing to get her finished in time!! This means I will be sticking with factory AE70 radiator and factory diff untill after the show, as I dont have the money to get that stuff in by that time, will be running cut springs in the rear to match whatever height I run in the front, that's untill after the show of course and I can chuck in the adjustable setup with the new diff..
Everything else is pretty much done, engine, exhaust, hyraulic clutch etc etc... Still have to modify driveshaft and make a driveshaft hoop.
NOW.. I REALLY wanted some 14s... Unfortunately I don't have enough money / time to get the rims I want.. So I've gone for the best I can get for cheap..
I'm buying a set of these Sportmax 513 rims (15x8 -0p) which are going to be cheaper than making steelies! They look good and they will do untill I can afford / find some proper jap wheels.
Just got tyres the other day, Nankang ns2's 195/45/15's... the guy fucked up and gave me one 16" tyre so gotta get that swapped up..
Just a random pic of the SR20 mounted up
