Seeing how my ta is now on the road thought it was about time to do a members ride for it.
Bout this car a few months back off a mate who got it to do up but never got around to it, I am the 3rd owner of the car, first two being ladies. The car has 271,XXXkm on it but the engine was ripped out and recondtioned in 1998.

Car had every receipt pretty much adding up to over $17,000! It factory 5 speed manual.












Service receipts-


Rego label-


Fuel logbook-


All receipts-


The first thing I done to the car was started on the bodywork as that was by far the biggest downside of the car.

    And these are the only ones i managed to take with the colour on it, still wasn't finished at this point tho.




    AND ALL PAINTED!!!






    Few more pics- Almost all back together =)







    Replaced every single bolt on the car-


    Replaced the headlights and all bulbs on the car-





    The car is now all back together and hopefully will be getting a roadworthy done tomorrow if i can book her in.

    Still a few things left to do-
    -CLEAN HER!
    -Paint engine bay and underside of bonnet
    -Replace the carpet as the carpet is pretty rooted
    -Tint the windows
    -Get the seats done in the black vinyl to match the rest of the interior as they have been redone but in a material rather then a vinyl
    -Get new bumpers as mine are rusted
    -Powdercoat a few things
    -re-chrome the bonnet vents and headlight surrounds
    -Get some nice jap styled wheels, thinking SSR MKII's or MKIII's? or use the SSR Star sharks i have on it, not 100% sure yet.
    I've probs missed a lot of stuff writing this but the photos kind of speak for them selves. Comments and opinions welcome smile.gif

    Black paint was a good choice. Wheels/ride height let it down a bit though. Need a set of dished mesh/stitch jap rims and dump it.

    Thanks for the comments guys!

    Yeah the booth is for industrial painting, so trucks, boats, 60ft beams and all go in it, thats only the medium booth as well haha
    the door jams are just in the black epoxy primer, so look good until close up then you notice they are matte, still need to do under the bonnet and engine bay so when that is done might clear the jams to give them some gloss ahah

    The post was a bit long but its all in there, I have lowered springs for it but want to look into front coilovers before i put them in, just so i dont put them in just to rip them out again.
    Wheels arent even mine haha they are my sisters for her datto, but i needed them for roady and seeing how her cars off for paint soon im using them until i get something new from Japan.
    I have a pair of SSR star sharks here that i might get another pair of and run them, but im thinking some 14 inch mark II's or mkIII's would look better. Was also thinking some 14 ssr meshies could look nice and they are so easy to find in great sizes.
    Im kind of addicted to rims, so no doubt in the next few months ill have numerous set to run on her ahha
