Yeah all coming together slowly, has come along way since i brought it, even tho it still dosent look any good lol ,yeah I can't wait for paint xxxplicit refinishing is the "go to" painters in nth qld so as soon as I can afford it hell b painting it and doing the rust in fron/rear screens,

Turismo · 21-06-14, 10:56

Funny how all the hours of work you put in and only you know whats been improved.

The engine bay, That's where i started. I think the best way to build a car is from the inside out.That way you don't skimp on whats important, because a car without a functioning engine is basically a shell - respectively.

dougall83 · 25-06-14, 16:49

looks better in the rain lol,

Silicone spray is the new clear

MUS · 06-07-14, 03:40

Tyre shine? Lmao.. Silicon destroys paint jobs when it gets on the body or in the paint, when painting a car anyway

Haha lol na not yet, it's still fat as on the tune side, I've got a heap of little pain in the ass problems popping up,

Master starting to leak
Trans hated the new setup lasted 2mins
Strut top bearings are buggerd
Auto trans lines were leaking"fixed that"
Needs rear brakes"there squeaking"
And a general degrease and clean up!

I want to tune it now but short on coin ATM and now need a trans so see how we go, it should make around 200kw to 250kw I would think?
but the n/a stuff isn't an option any more is just not lasting lol
