olds_kool Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thought I may as well make a thread about it, and then I might get more motivated lol. I bought it in late 2006 from a mate at school for $400 AUD, it was a deceased estate thing. Anyways it was an auto 1600, yellow with stripes and covered in dents/rust. Both quarters rusted and dented, both doors the same, bonnet fair to good, hatch rusty and general surface rust everywhere. Apart from the Dash pad which is all cracked up, the interior is mint as and original. Bought some 13 x 7 minilite/superlite style rims for it during last year and will have to lip the guards I think (if someone could suggest a tyre size, not too much stretch etc but not balloons). Stayed under a tarp while we built new shed etc and have just recently been converting to it to manual. Once I figure out the tyre and wheel situation I will try and get it as low as possible and put an exhaust on it, though from what I hear it is hard to find extractors for it. Have fitted some crystal head lights to it but haven’t seen it with all the front panels and new lights on yet so we will see how that looks, trying to get it done by march this year for my P plates. Sorta got inspired by Lowlancer's old celeste and have been watching the forum every since, hence the style im building it in/wheel choice. so yeah...here it is Sorry about the paint, primer and matty b was just to get rid of some of the surface rust till i get around to paint and panel.

olds_kool Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 No pics because i haven't put the carpet etc back in or worked out a shifter boot, but started it up today for the first time with the manual and god is it different. pwns me so hard atm, exhaust is straight through and exiting under the driver's seat at the moment so it makes a bit of noise. Tossing up whether to make project thread for my AP5 valiant too...i suppose its OS, but not much gets done to it at the moment, just gets cruised, got tripple su's and push button auto ftmfw though. Will have mega update soon with the minilites on the lancer and some front panels. Edit: Fucking awesome :sarcasm:, just found on ebay another LB, like 15k's away, half the price i payed for mine, no rust, already a manual. So not happy right now...i could buy it but it beats my other one in most/all areas...so whats the point...
