kyteler Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I like that the original DABUZZ was the silhouette used for the original oldschool.co.nz logo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Allways loved your rx4 coupe, look forward to seeing what you have done on the rx2 so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 A car definitely worth saving! Can't wait to see the progress. DABUZZ RX4 is iconic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Really enjoying your thread, I was hooked at 9" and Astrons tbh. It looked like things were going so well, share some pics of where you're up to now, it might be therapeutic? I think everyone who has had a project car has been let down by someone somewhere along the line. It's par for the course. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzstato Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I do like a build thread with some hardcore metal work in it.... Watching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrx7 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Man, terrible luck with the cashie panel job ... it'll all be worth it in the end I'm sure. Many others would have just given up by now I'm sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabuzz Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Way too far down the rabbit hole now to stop, just have to keep going! @Valiant if I had you at 9 inch/astrons, you might be a little disappointed after my next post, Haha. Body work log is pretty much updated, so will show where the mechanicals are at next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Just now, dabuzz said: Anyway, the car will be going back factory white and I like the old school feel, so I had the 'racing' stripes reproduced to be fitted at a later stage. Yus! Big fan of this idea! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Love the quality of this build man! And your styling, looking forward to seeing more content 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabuzz Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thanks, I've always dreamt of doing a nut and bolt resto, I tried many years ago on another car but I got over my head and sold it. I wont do it again either too time consuming, but I'm determined to make this build the best I possibly can. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 This is going to look soooo good with the squashed nosed 808 front on it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullen Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Bloody good stuff. What's the deets on the front and rear shocks and springs? Off the shelf and modified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabuzz Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Ah yea, should have mentioned that, they are off the shelf super low cobra springs, and KYB shocks, once the car is on its feet and getting close to completion I'll get the shocks shortened to suit, at the mo I already know the nose will sit too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 nice work! do you have a way of doing the zinc coating yourself? or are you on very good terms with a local business haha I like the "factory improved'' theme, that air cleaner is neat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
