mx_freak69 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Bought her off sum chick in Auckland in october '05. Seemed pretty straight at the time. Not a whole lot of mods done. Had the standy 1300, the 15's and a mudbox exhaust on it. Dirty great OSR sticker on the windscreen. Had been resprayed metallic 'bronze'. Shocker of a job, filthy great runs everywhere. On the drive back to palmy the electrics started to fuck out and i was left without windscreen wipers. Luck would have it it started 2 piss down with rain. Great fun that was. Finally got it home after some pretty hairy incidents but home none the less. Took her out that weekend and blew the g/box doing a rollback. First car i'd owned, bound to happen. Replaced it with a standard one and it went fine. Engine started leaking oil all over the show so i converted it to a 1600. Absoloutely loved it! blew another two gearboxes and then in jan '06 i went and joined the army. So she sat at home for about 6 months. Decided 2 leave th army and got back home eventually nd blew the 1600. So since then ive been trying 2 get round to doing the 2l conversion. Engines finally in, not wired up or nethng, just sitting on the mounts. Tunnels all been cut etc, just waiting on a welder and my driveshaft to come back from the machinists. Got a couple of pics atm, looks high as a kite due to bein on axle stands but meh. 2l powerhouse! Gearstick hole badass rims Dash mounted tacho Thats all the pics for now. Will post more when i get round 2 doing more work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
