kyteler Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Nice man, good to see more steel welded in, looks to need just as much (less really) than my C110 does. Seems to be coming along nicely. They're a sweet little car, when do you expect to have it "finished" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Nice car and good on ya man for saving it! There is one on retro-rides in the uk that a yound fella is rescuing too- like yours it has suffered a bit with the tinworm. Are they quite rare cars these?

Jif Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Nice car. Whats the plan with the engine? If you need any parts I know a guy who wrecked 7 of these(8 if you count the one he put a rotor in). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwlee Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 For flares and front spoiler shown in the link below you can try Fibreglass Auto Replacements who are in Gisborne. http://www.flickr.com/photos/japcrapcarclub/4296892992/ However, I have found their layup quality is not always the best in the past and in the last set of flares I got from them the rear left-hand side was noticeable different than the original plastic item, but the others where a close match. In the photos below the blue is the same as the original while the white is as supplied by FAR. For parts you could try Speedyrr who is on http://classiccolt.forumcircle.com/portal.php and is also in Taranaki (He can be difficult to get hold of at times). The original molded door rubbers are very difficult to come by, but you may be able to get some from Aust. as the GC and GD galant coupe used the same door. Some of the parts are still available from Mitsubishi. Good luck with the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
