Ok it starts out as a car i got from the impound yard... Diff is fucked. Easy fix me thinks till I look inside and see some fuckard with even less wiring skills than myself has been a playing

Found new diff and replaced

Figured out what they had done with the switches and sorted it all out

Brought parts car for $40 bux of Trademe

Replaced both engine mounts

Swapped various better parts over

Aligned headlights and adjusted handbrake cable as it came all the way up to met ya.

Went for WOF and failed on R/F suspension... so mission on now to get that sorted.

Also installed front speakers, headunit, sub and amp

Twin carbs + ramflos

changed thermostat

bout time i put some more 'mods' up:

Replaced asbestos brake pads ahha repco tried to sell me some more asbestos ones. Got some Bendix so will see how they go with the mad heat these brakes seem to generate. Front swaybushes have been replaced semi-recently.. nice bright red.

Found out my front grill was only held on with 2 screws, so straightened all the brackets up and put new screws in.

Cracked my alternator bracket, so have gotten spare one of parts car but havnt been assed to put it on yet.

Started taking newer plastic cool yellow fan off my parts car to swap over.
