Guest hulse12 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Went on a Hamilton mish today with padg and my gf and picked up this esky. Diff nd gearbox are fucked. Comes with a spare gbox and I have a spare diff. Heres some pics.. So the trip home began.. Stopped at burger fuel! Paints rough as.. Bit of rust in the bonnet but everywhere else seems pretty sweet. Plans are: Tidy up interior. Take out aftermarket gauges/tacho. Oil pressure + Water temp into esky #1. Engine.. Possibly put my 1300 race engine in. Depends how this drives after replacing diff + gbox. Sand back and respray exterior and inside boot, interior etc. Under seal.. Might chuck my louver on it too And maybe a few other things on the way.. WOF + REG Then trademe to fund my esky #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hulse12 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Soo today the bros padg nd linden came round nd we ripped into it.. Hoist made shit alot easier! Spare gbox and axles.. So yeah the diff was abit fucked.. Must've had a rapist of a owner before the guy I brought it off haha Car goes sweetish, drove it home still gota top up the gbox fluids abit more + bleed rear brakes then I'll take it for a decent drive. Gona rip engine out at some stage to tidy up engine/bay. Needs a oil change etc. Recovered parcel tray in carpet, put in black vinyl rear seat and wheel arch covers. Other things been done/to be done.. - Changed back to standard steering wheel. - Exchanged K & N Filter onto my main escort. - Looked around back of shed and found a set of Rostyles I'm gona use after a paint up and chuck on my spare set of wofable tyres. - Going 2" blocks and lowering springs in front. - Full respray in black and clean up all ugly over spray everywhere. White is no good.. - Find a glove box (anyone have a spare?) - Sprayed under bonnet and up front black. Will be updating more tomorrow most likely!

Guest hulse12 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Woke up today.. Started tearing out the mass birds nest along with all the after market gauges. Was quite a mish really and need to re-wire the air horn back up since that ended coming out with the nest. Everything still works so I think it went well haha Got front seats in nd my gf started to sand back the white. Engine bay has a few less wires hanging around now. Gona rip it out sometime this week for a good clean up nd probly swap a few things over to my engine (battery, alt, starter maybe etc) Give it a paint and clean up engine bay etc!
