got lucky today a heap of audio gear for $75, sold off what i didn't need within 15 minutes of posting it to make my money back and now i'm left with a 15" mtx 8000 thunder sub in a custom box. not bad considering it didn't really cost a cent, just have to pray that it fits in the boot of the e...

managed to pick up a brand new alpine budget headunit and pair of 6.5" speakers for $79, also painted the intercooler pipes, catch can and rear springs in 3m hammer finish metallic blue. also here's a photo of my daily when it was slammed, it has been raised a bit since :lol: http://i58.tinypic...

Have finished using POR15 on the front end, inside the car, tyre well and undercarriage. Next step was to pull out the steering rack and give it to the steering shop to get repaired/overhauled to make it nice and straight, then it gets the nolathane bushes pictured. Front control arms are also off t...

thanks Evan massive help as always!!!!!! definately looking forward to prolonging the replacement life, and keeping the money towards other work (aka rust, paint and panel) in the mean time!!!

i know it's not a requirement, but having a car that takes multiple efforts to start and sounds like a cat in a blender is not good enough in my books to be worth spending the rego money on.

many dramas at home, moved back in with the parents who have allowed me a full vacant workshop and carport to use for the exa and all my parts. first time ever i'll have somewhere flat, undercover and secure to work on a car properly with no short time frame! Went and bought: -nolathane rear bushes ...

electrical issue is fixed car is running again, back to sorting out the injectors and then the cooling system because it has sat around doing nothing for so long...

weather kept hindering progress as the car sits on the street, every time the mechanic is to come out it storms! hopefully it will be sorted, fourth time round next tuesday

lol my bad

hopefully this arvo the local mechanic is coming over to get the car running again, there's an irritating little electrical gremlin that won't disappear and I don't have the skills to fix. the mrs is keen for me to get the rust repairs done and to finish the rest of the body myself in the next coupl...

decided to have a play around with the car, looks like i didn't install injector number 4 correctly, reinstalling the rail so the injector seats correctly might help... on a side note i went and bought a mig welder cheaply so i can have a crack at fixing the rust myself. so much for telling the mrs ...

bit of an update - fixing the injectors made the car run beautifully, getting around 7.8l/100k of spirited driving on a cruise over the weekend. The fun ended this morning however when i now have a flat tyre, an oil leak above the gearbox (wtf?) and now the car has developed an electrical problem le...
