  1. It's probably been talked about but cbf looking through a million pages.

    I'm going to be prepping a car for paint soon, and really cbf doing it by hand.

    Is there much of a difference between air powered DA sanders and electric? If so which would be better?

  2. Well not a lot has happened with this.

     

    Paid for a spot at Keisukes Valentines day track day at Meremere, and was going to drive this, but our compressor fucked out so couldn't get it painted in time.

    Luckily a mate Stan offered to share his 4age KE70 with me.

    His cars awesome fun to drive, a tie rod end got bent on Stans first session out so went and got another one and got out on track pretty quickly.

    Had a hell of a lot of fun, and it has convinced me to get another KE70, which is where this comes in.

    Stan actually bought this as a street car build but then found a AA60 he preferred so i grabbed this.

    Currently is running T series drum brake diff, T50 and 2T with twin carbs. Will sell off the 2T and get a smallport 4age, already have some Ae86 coilovers to go in and have a set of 13" MK2s on the way.

    So after ive painted the Celica it will be up for sale if anyone is interested.

    Will come minus a few things but can work that out

  3. So long time fuck all happening. 

    Life/other car took all my money so not a lot has been happening to this.

    Buuuttttt

     

    It now moves. Haven't moved it far as it has no brakes but it does. Got my driveshaft lengthened and chucked it all in. 

    There is a hell of a noise coming from the engine which i am praying is only lifters, I think the noise was amplified a bit by being inside the garage so will pull it out tomorrow and whip the cam covers off to have a look.

     

    Umm what else.

    Oh got another dash as my one wasn't coming up with the speedo, revs, fuel or temp as it is digital. I know the dash i got is good cause i saw it working but its still doing the same thing, so need to check some simple shit to see if its a fuse or earth, if not its off to a auto sparky. 

    Painted the rear strips, only thing is they are really warped so they stick out but isn't a lot i can do about that, and all the other ones ive seen are rusted away so they will do for now.

     

    Am selling my Celica so will be using the BCs out of that in this, and have test fitted a 9j with tire on to see how much work i need to do to fit them, quite pleased to say not a lot.

     

    Am supposed to be taking this to Nats so am pushing it a bit haha
