Toucan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Sounds like you are on the right path with the plans. Front end looks choice with the chrome bumper. Good first car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chees- Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 was thinking of doing an engine swap but the 3au doesnt seem to bad so i'll roll as is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Get to grips with the car first, worry about making sure you know how to handle a car properly before you potentially take it off the road and lose absolute interest due to the delays of an engine swap. Just enjoy it man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambo Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I blame Johno. If you want my spare 3AU can you take it soon? Otherwise I'm taking it to the scrappies, it's in the way of my wood pile and I almost broke my foot in the dark the other night EDIT: Went and had a bit of a nosey, car looks tidy in person!

Sambo Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 It won't fit in the AE70. If I've got time to bring it over this weekend I'll flick you a text. It'll be sweet in the carport with a tarp over it. It's a 3AU, so no one will steal it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taistorm Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Saw you driving this earlier at the Church st. - Vauxhall intersection. Looks fuckin sweet man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 haha was i fail shifting? still getting hang of clutch, i'm quite rough on it also pulled up carpet no rust fucking awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Fuck knows man haha just had a quick nosey as I drove past. That's awesome, just sorted rust all over my mirage which dented the bank account. Would look mint if you slammed it on some old mesh rims/ssr's/work equips and put some fender mirror's on it. If you are interested in fender mirrors I have some sweet as early 80's Mazda 323 ones that I probably wont be needing any more with electronic mirror control. Let me know if you're keen, theyre black squarish styled ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taistorm Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Think I paid $50 or $60 for em cant remember so if you match that it'll be sweet. Just wait a few days first cause i'm getting a mirage set but I havent seen them yet and if theyre shit box i'll put the mazda ones on instead. Pretty sure there all good's though. I'm in Whangaparoa but my Cousins live on Church st and i'll probably be heading there later this week so I may be able to drop em off if youre in/close to devo.

Toucan Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'd do some measuring/searching around internet to find what sizes other people run. Wide rims with neg offset on a small car likely to run into guard clearance issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
