Aaron Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 **Bored Saturday Update** So I decided to take the passenger door off because I had previously taken it off and forgot to put a screw back in. Usually I wouldnt care, but it was leaking water through the top of the door (wasnt sealed completly sealed). I decided this time I would attempt to take the guard off so I would have better access to the door nuts. So ended up like this: Then it stated to rain so chucked the wheel back on and got it under the deck: Bolted the door fully on and made sure it fully shut. While I was at it, I remembered WoF man telling me about the front lip/spoiler thingy needing to be sanded and painted: So did that, and this is the end result: Only Green I had was fluro, so I though that Black would be more appropriate ( better than Dark Rust Green ) And re-installed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 **Useless Update** Might still need to beat the guards a bit :/ or smaller tyres AHOY! Also, blinging number plate surrounds Till next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 **Silly Update** So the plan for the exterior now is to update it with some chrome, I started with these number plate lights. And the numberplate surrounds as shown. Next I will be laying a chrome strip across the side trims and bumpers (if I cant find chrome bumpers), and then just see how I go from there. Also got some Datsun fender mirrors on order, so hopefully they will fit OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 **UPDATE** Farkin fender mirrors haven't arrived yet, so I might give up on them. Recently I have been contemplating removing the current mirrors and chucking some door ones back on. I think they just look odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 **Silly Update** Mirrorless. Decided this morning that it looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 **UPDATE** So I took the leap and purchased the wheels I've been wanting for yonks. They're only 13x6 +12 so I'm going to have to 155/65 all round with 25mm spacers as well for that herrafrush look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 **Pictureless update soz.** So yeah, still waiting for the Work's to arrive, and then need to sort tyres and 25mm spacers. Also incoming WoF in January so need to fix the following: + Fix passenger door rust (massive) + Fix rust underneath the hatch + May need to raise the ride height back up for WoF So yeah, lots to do in the New Year.

Aaron Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 **UPDATE** In a bit of a rage right now. Needed the following for WoF: + Front to back brake line replaced + 4 New tires (have them) + F/R Strut leaking (second hand one obtained) + Wiper blades (easy) So I got him to make up the Brake line, chuck the tires on and replace the F/R strut = $486... Yeah holy fuck, checking the invoice I was given, $225 was on labour eek. At least I have a WoF now though. **Plans from here** I am contemplating either keeping the car original as possible (bar suspension), or start with some engine mods (extractors, carbs etc.) Cant decide.

Aaron Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 *UPDATE* Yay some pics! So I've prepared myself for when the Work Equip 01's arrived (which should be the start of March according to Hayatonka) Steel test: Hmm not too bad, might roll them till the Work Equips get here. Also, WoF sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Well what do we have here KP60Nick and I made it our misson to pick our wheels up today with great success! His looked mint (pre-polished even), however mine were quite ridden with corrosion and JDM spiders. I semi cleaned one up and heres the result: Just need to give it a bit more of a sand and they should be sweet. Also, cheers Louis: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aaron Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 **Super Saturday Update** So today I sought out to get some new tires and spacers. Picked up a mixed set of tires, 155/65/13. Up on the hoist: I reckon they look great, haven't put the spacers on yet as I need to get hub centric rings that fit: Need to drop the front by another 2 inches, and 1 inch off the back. Hopefully I can get the centric rings on Monday, then I will get pics up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Alrighty, I managed to get the front down about an inch. Hub centric rings (60.1mm) arrived so I also popped the spacers on. P.S, these pics are grose, but I only had my phone on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 NIce little Panoramic with Galaxy S2 I have taken the spacers off the front as I was getting mad speed wobbles at 100km/h+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Cheers Greer for the photog. Threw it into Photochop for more low and fancyness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Well yeah, more low thanks to KP60Nick and myself. Dropped the rear by another inch, and now it's exactly where I want it. Just need a little more off the front. And also thanks to Nick, I have a boot that stays open without the need of a stick! Also swapped the grill off Nick's ute, looks a ton better. And nice Panoramic of today's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
