So this is my new build, after helping Josh (fliboi) with his one and falling in love when this one came up could not resist. With much advise from him, this was purchased from Auckland.

Photos as below

UPDATE: 
Car failed its warrant, quite the last as below.

 

But have decided it needs a repaint, and will get all the seats recovered and get it looking amazing.

 

After looking through things at work, decided on Audi R8 Bronze / Orange

And here is my failure list

As you can see, a wee bit of work ahead....

Ordered all the parts for front suspension, so full rebuild there is underway (decided to do it all once whilst its in bits). 

 

Also got some wheels for it, nothing exciting but will do the job till I decide on my final wheel choice (SSR MK3's at this point)

So will rebuild suspension setup in the front, get the new wheels on, will be getting Ryan Scott from Corona Customs to weld up some things and sort the rust out for me. Then recheck!!! 

 

I got the service department at work to do the warrant, and it had 6 fricken technicians finding  faults with it :(

 

Good times ahead! Will keep this updated when I get the time away from the garage

 

Once the car arrived, found it had a professionally welded stainless exhaust system with lowering blocks in the rear! Had a rank dumpy exhaust which I sold to some bogan who owns a RB for $30, now got the standard straight pipe

 

Heres some more recent pics

Two Old School Toyota Mishes in one day, both had the wheels scraping. 

 

That Starlet is my mates little sisters, temporarily had my workshop / garage at home as a spray booth; new midnight blue paint job. The car went back to his place to be put back together and get running again!

Update time

So, upper ball joints are near impossible to find. Autolign only place who had them available and it was wrong!! GC's at Autolign getting them rebuilt for me and way cheaper than anyone else. So should get that warrant this week!

 

Painted up the engine bay a few weeks back, and rebuild the coolant system.
