-Jordan-

bah, I only found a 1c peice under mine

OT: ripped out the rear seat, seatbelts, speakers and parcel shelf all cause I didn't realise you can't put the little corner peice of the PS in afterwards.

Not happy...

wbtonner

Sold it !!!
Now im currently car shopping on carpoint.....hmmmm new series 2 SV6......

Geoff

Tried to ghetto rig the wiring on the latest bushwagon mustering rig, a D21 navara.

This is much easier on older cars.

- cut rubber matting to size
- removed the racks that Caddy had put in the car
- installed rubber matting
- modified the location of the shelves to give me more room down the middle of the canopy

shelves are now "quick release" so it takes about 30 seconds to remove them when i need to use the ute as a ute

tried to do a wheel alignment on my drive way using my eye...... failed. going to have to spend the forty dollars to get it done.

Joyrid3r

get an adjustable tent pole, works a treat

wbtonner

Not my car... but one I WAS looking at purchasing, just found out all series 2 sv6's are 210kw. P plate laws are again flawed by this shit.

DAL32

Got headunit working (the first time not working was a HUGE derp on my part... it didn't work because I didn't turn it on... fucking LOL).
Wired up amp and sub. Made up a patented interference fit boot install using a bag-of-rags preventing the amp from falling into the space below the sub.
Proceeded with hectic doofs. Goes bloody hard for just a 10" sub.

Discovered front right speakers not working. Yay, more fun working in tight spots.

W1NT3R

Got the shits with it. Wiring is ghey

GTRwilson

Took it for the first official cruise since getting it back on the road. Had some fun with it later in the arvo, and fucked one tyre.

Sharpy

skids?


Also took mine on its first drive through the mountains in a while. apparently im blowing foot long flames. awesome. Tune on the 30th

Slide_thats5

got a tune took it for a drive and snapped a axle

j.d.m

primed the lip spoiler and blocked it down. tmrw will paint.clear it all. then install it when dry and adjust minor things to make it sit right

GTRwilson

Dont know what you're talking about. It was weird, it didnt blow, just peeled off a big strip of rubber down the middle of the tyre. Useless last owner getting some unknown 'new to the market' tyres.

Anchor

Turned this,



into this,



using this.



But i found this



Inspiration from Warney.. Haha

Zimma

Wasted a day getting door trims off, trying to work out how to get new speakers in, end result i have 1 wired up and working 6.5" split thats loose on my front seat and no door trims..

jish

Fit locker.

Did test skid.

Profit.

Manic 180

Bought a 1983 Datsun bluebird with some mates and filled it with toluene.

next week will weld the diff, cut and weld the front doors to 1/3 height and beef up the cooling system.

Rileys

you have a toyota right? if door trims take you any longer then 5 minutes i think its time to put the screw driver and step away from the vehicle

pro tip: if you cant modify the existing speaker mount, make your own out of mdf to suit the speaker and the door, keeping in mind the window/window mechanism and speaker depth

ot: detailed the work car......made a huge difference even on paint thats only a few weeks old....main idea with the car is to protect the paint and interior as much as possible to keep it nice for as long as possible - also to make it easy keep clean in the future

Anchor

They are awesome daily's. I've got the wagon version. The other day i hit 135km/hr!!

warney

good to hear that it worked, sorry about the pit holes ya found

Manic 180

It is a wagon. Only the best for this project! 135 would be scary haha

Anchor

Haha shityeah!!

Mine is auto, so damn slow lol.

What a productive Sunday!
Ever since this happened (last Feb), we've had a perfectly good GTi engine, box and bits sitting there, rusting away in the orchard.




We got a new donor car last weekend: a good condition Mk3 GTi minus running gear = $100. I spent last Saturday stripping it out.



Work started with the door being forcibly removed from the crashed GTi with a crowbar, big ass hammer and a chisel.


Found it had lowered springs and adjustable struts! SCORE!


Many hours of toiling later... That night i fitted the Mk2 loom to the Mk3, and fucked around endlessly trying to get the Mk2 dash to fit, with the steering column and ignition also being different for no good reason. Found the block had a broken engine mount hole which will need a bracket made up.


Final plans are a roll cage, bucket seat, ecu chip, pod filter, exhaust and 60mm throttle body and FPR. Easy peasy!

Innuendo

Exactly! Going to have a hard enough time selling it as it is!

jebby88

Put a new aerial on it, tightened the head bolts,adjusted the rear drums. Brought a new club lock

Geoff

New oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter an AC belt in thr rustbucket 75 series from my last post in here.

HarleyJace

Fitted my JAF badge, put in the radiator, Hooked up some hoses, bolted in headlights and what not.

Geoff

Took apart the rear/right wheel hub on Top Deck the 40 series ute. Hunting thru the bush tomorrow for a new one.

Got given directions to a 60 series thats lying out in the never never (got left therr to rot late last year after the motor went catus'd). Its real "Turn left at the black stump" type stuff. See what we can find haha. I love living here sometimes.

S4rdonic
