So who reckons HSV should put my Dragway 5 spokes on his HR tongue.gif ?


How does fuck off sound?

Apart from the fact I already have a decent set of wheels on there and don't need your shit heaps, original wheels will be going back on it soon enough.

and it continues.........

got my brake booster rebuilt today. ABS at Brendale provided same day service!!

car was sailing through roadworthy, the underbody is probably the best I have seen, ever on a Q'ee.

then they measured the front discs. undersize. so now I have to shell out coin on a pair of rotors for the damn thing..... really fed up with this car right now. but it is a nice car to drive, even better now with brakey goodness.

Seriously, WTF.

lambo doors on a val?

nope.

anyways, car is sorted for the moment.

bought new DBA rotors this morning for a fantastic price, added wheel bearings and fitted it all up. got the brake test done and got my roadworthy!!

drove it home, jacked it up and put my low suspension in it. took it for a drive and it was just beautiful. hate looking at it right now, but I really like driving it.

Which swap meets?

I went to the Ipswich one where I had 4 x X2 badges, nasco fuel cap, nasco mirror and side mirror stolen just after I bought them, paid the guy, he put them in plastic bag, served next guy, I turned and coughed and the bag was gone. Some thieving fuck had snaked it off the table, was extremely pissed.

Second one at Redbank plains I score my much needed indicator assembly, they share the same ones as EH/EJ apparently so installed that this arvo, as well as two Nasco outer trims, 3 HR hubcaps and two HQ mirrors which I thought might of fit the HR but didn't, one mirror base which was thrown in and a inside jesus handle for the HR as well for a spare.

I was dissapointed in the Ipswich one, I was there 45 mins and there would of been maybe 15 stalls max there.

Did a photoshoot on this car a while back...the mags like something a bit different.

Yeah, I am not that keen on the lambo doors, but it IS well done. The rest of the car is very cool, and he has some real cool plans
for it too.

I guess that's what custom cars are all about. Some people will love it, some will hate it.

Oh look, I quite like the rest of the car bar the doors, I personally would redo the exhaust tips into something a bit bigger and fitting, but it seemed to be done well.

What engine do you know?

Not a dirty old 318 surely?

racerphill
Post #1394

No, it's a factory 318 car, but now has a 440...with a blower planned for later.

It also has a hand fabricated sheet metal diff housing with 35 spline full floaters. Rear suspension has been moved inward to accomodate big tyres. The ones on there are 275/60/15, and you can still fit a closed fist in between the tyre and the guard. Strange rotors and four piston calipers at the back and CL Valiant discs and rotors up front.

Lots more planned as well.

Sounds like a bit of a weapon.

Just a shame about the doors really.

here you go:



just need to paint the venetian white and reinstall and paint the visor and whack that back on too.

really needs wheels though.

Nick, here is why I don't think those spears will fit your car, specifically made to sit on this centre hump on the bonnet:



and I just like this pic:





car is now all sorted as far as roadworthy and everything is concerned. now just have to get some rims and install my rebuilt injected motor and all will be sweet.
