So boes,

I post but I don't actually own an oldschool car, but I figure if people are interested in CaM/Slammers pug, then maybe some people may be interested in my chaser build.

So I bought the car in March, pretty fuckered.

I already had the motor, just needed a car to put it in. I got to Auckland and it was a piece but the girlfriend at the time proceeded to enforce I buy it as it was our ride home.

Its a Chaser so its middle spec between Mark II and cresta.

Started off 2 litre 1gfe auto which was fucked, and one of those stupid foot operated parking brakes.

It is now 1g-gte powered with a w55 and hand operated park (among other uses) brake.

So similar but then again so many differences.

Benefit is:

Better fuel pump

General low key ness.
