KKtrips Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Why are you changing the front end? was yours fucked or is it a diff style? Cos the OG one made the car look all crosseyed... was fucked Quote
mikuni Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 That parts car was such a mean score. Are the dashes the same as VC? I need glove box and the bits inside it. Stoked the engine fired up and is running well too. Should do a skid. Quote
KKtrips Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Super lush Boe-rad - you needs them BBS on and a super slam ASAP!! Hell yes - that spare car was such the lush score (cheers Shaz..) Oops I threw the glovebox out about a month ago cos I didn't think I would need it.. I got heaps of the bits I am gunna need but the rest of the car is gone now... Quote
mikuni Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 haha gutted. all good, parts seem to be relatively easy to come across for these things Quote
KKtrips Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Yyeah they still are regarded as Australian Corollas so people ain't quite hoarding the shit out of the parts yet - nother few years and they will be equal to AE-86's and they'll make cartoons about em drifting the streets of Cardagoolie and Werrabee against XD coons and V8 powered trikes...

Haha if only I'd known that a month later I'd be wanting to tax shit off that donor too... That front's looking better on yours already. I hear that multicoloured Commies are the new black. Quote
KKtrips Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 You saying I'm black or somethin...?? Why you horrible racist.... You've already taxed heaps - but I'm pretty sure there is some more bits waiting for ya. Quote
KKtrips Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 To start with will be just from the w/screen forward unless I get a really super sweet deal on 4litres of lacquer and primer.. Actually does anyone here have the hookups for painting supplies?? Quote
Jif Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Actually does anyone here have the hookups for painting supplies?? Might be able to get you some metallic gun metal gray. Is that you standing on the car? CaMpylobacter photo looks like you and I'm crap with names. Can remember about 3names from swapmate/meat/meet Quote

CaMpylobacter photo looks like you and I'm crap with names. Can remember about 3names from swapmate/meat/meet yup thats me - Cam has a photo of me as an Avatar cos he loves me that much.. I am after primer in any colour and a Olive Drab matte/satin topcoat (this colour) Quote
Truenotch Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 New signature. Looks like it will look good at some point. Quote
Testament Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 you should get the bonnet strakes as well as the chin spoiler from the HDT. bonnet strakes are original transformers awesome. Quote
KKtrips Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Cheers Markku, its a work in progress as I get the funds - whilst keeping it mobile for the summer months.. sweet sig broe!! PS - I made up those Australian names - they sound semi authentic aye.. Tom - doubt I'll go for anything more than a chin spoiler - not keen on too much over the top in the looks - only reason why I would put one on the chin is the thought that it will make the front look lower.. It seems them spoilers are pretty dear so I most likely will make something out of plywood that looks like this (but I'll be going for a 45 degree angle - this example looks a bit steep for my liking) Quote
mikuni Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Worth keeping an eye on for dumping a chev in there? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 094586.htm Or shaz? Not dumping her in there, just if she wants to go for a vee hate Quote
DodgySam Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 If you can find someone with an original chin spoiler or replica one and they are willing to let you borrow it for a week or so just whip off a mould of it and glass up one for yourself. Hell if you know anyone up Dorkland ways with one let me know and I will take a mould for you. Quote
Leebo3 Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Hows old Manu me boy getting along with his? He has the week off too doesnt he to do wagon duties? I have not worked the last month and have barely done much on my stead. Party on party pants. Quote
