be4ver Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 got a good chunk put back together today. not looking forward to putting the dash back in tho, still need to work out how the heater will work and where the hoses will go. also need to change the part of loom over from the 1600 i wrecked so the tacho having gauge cluster will work proper. might even put the compressed springs n short shocks i got off walkernz in tomorrow if i feel so inclined wheels look gay as fuck! hmmmmm what to use....17" lenso rs5s oooooor 15" two piece meshies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Close to back in one piece now! was very happy with how it drove when i brought it home heaps of power for a wee na 2L, can't wait till i jam the other engine in! god dam i need a bigger garage! this darkness hinders progress big time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 my fuckin awesome interior colour scheme still undecided on these seats though, i think they go kinda well with the black. Its how its gunna be for now anyway as recovering seats just isn't in the budget yet. i did however decide to splash out and get the dash recovered in a black leather look stuff, should be done in a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 got me some low! looks alright from this angle heres the difference in size of compressed springs and shorter shocks for the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 got my dash back yesterday! put in today, i stuck some leather to the wee plastic bit that clips behind the dash cluster too. i was going to do the other bit that the cluster screws into as well but it was way out of my skill range! painted it black instead, looks prtty dam good i rekin! you could take my word for it but here is a bunch of pics anyway i'll probly end up painting the glove box lid too cos it looks a bit stupid. or ill re-do the airbrushing on the first one i had only a couple left overs - dont know where the fuck these went! sick new gear knob! also i can't wait till i get these on, gunna look bad ass!

be4ver Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 decided today to instead also cover the glove box with the leather stuff, turned out pretty good Got a new stereo today and installed it. Had the idea of putting an ipod dock in the ashtray so started fucking with ideas and made up this high end prototype needs a bit of work but i think it'll work nicely when its done.

be4ver Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 got this thing so dam close to road legal now wiring is all done, bled brakes, everything goes mint etc etc took it to work tonight. its very sweet to drive. so it will be getting a driveshaft hoop made up tomorrow and going in for a basic wof kinda check over to make sure everything is sweet and ready of cert and WOF only concerns i'm having are the height which is pretty borderline and the massively droning exhaust who probably needs another muffler up in there. noone likes a pictureless update so heres this. pictures were taken only 2years nine months apart haha (left pic is the day i got it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 So WOF check over went alright, it needs the following Cert (obviously) New steering wheel due to budgo piece of crap one I got! Ride height, needs about 10-15 mm higher Secure left front brake hose- missing clip (oops!) Exhaust too loud Play in rear universal joint Loose left front wheel bearing All in all not too bad really considering the time the car has been off the road and that I've had it pretty much completely apart at one time or another and back together again. And I'm no mechanic. So I'm pretty happy with how it all went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 productive night tonight! got steering wheel sorted, just put the gay original one back on till i buy a decent one. found the missing brake hose clip and tightened the wheel bearing went to the mitsi agents in town here to get a uni joint and to my shock and amazement they had one in stock! had been there for like 9 years haha got it for $20 as well cos they'd had it so long. so pretty stoked with that! right so i've never changed a universal joint before but i'm pretty sure i did it the wrong way! got the circlips all off easy and the first cap off easy as then i broke my elcheapo vice and shit got tricky and jammed in and there were swear words a plenty. got it in there in the end tho, but how the shit do ya get the dam grease nipple on here!? gunna need to use different circlip on this one i think tried the 15s on while i had the wheel off. hows that for fitment! bit of negative camber from the sigma lower arms i got and it will hopefully sit perfectly! this is my new d-shaft hoop and this is my new fuel leak (loose hose clamp) this is about how much the back wants to come up. the box is 105mm so hopefully the wheels will take this difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
