kiwi808 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Cool. How much work do you reckon there is fixing up her rear end? Sweet find though, can't be many of those around can there? I think I remember seeing yellow one for sale a year or so ago maybe? Also, what's the plan for it? Tart and flick, restore and enjoy or my personal favourite.... hotwires.

RobKE Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Maybe it's not an LSD. Maybe your diff is on the way out and is lighting up both wheels. I think the best way you can check for this is to do some prolonged burnouts and send me a copy of the footage. Don't worry mate im totally legit, and you can trust me cause im an engineear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobKE Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 So you are selling. Did you get a quote for the rear end? Looks expensive if you weren't gonna do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will i am Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 yea gota know ya limits if it was only mechanical id be away laughing got a rough quote of 4k ready for paint but one off those things the more rust ya find the more $$$$ to spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobKE Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yea. I ended up forking up $3000 from an original $1000 quote because of hidden rust. And then I joined the car restoration course in Christchurch which I've been doing every Saturday for a year. Cause I never want to be in that situation again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
