yeah, it does look good with the wheels, but i haven't taken any pics of it with them on yet.

well i got lowered leafs for it now, so i just gotta get some $$[and some spare time] for new shocks and front springs, and she'll nicely.

New Pics!
recent additions;
rear parcel shelf, wheels, front suspension.

Good stuff James, the wheels really change the look of the car. Got a much tuffer stance about it now. Looking good.

they are! thats why i want to get some better photos.

Your car is looking great James and I'm glad you managed to get it all repaired and back on the road with minimal aggravation (to the wallet anyway!). Too many people would have found it all too hard, scrapped a perfectly good shell and looked for another one, so it's a real credit to you.

thanks guys.
Simon, at times, if i had the money i probably would have scraped it and bought a nice looking RS..
i was actually told to scrap it, but i like the car too much. im just glad i found someone who was willing to put time and effort into repairing the damage. and hopefully when he has the time he can fix up some other panels.
Michael, was good to meet you too, your car is amazing. glad you liked the boot

the Esky still has quite a bit to go, but im not giving up easily.

excellent, a bit of window tint and colour coded mex and your done

hmmm i remember Rhys's old gold mk2 which is now owned by ben. thats got a colour coded mex and it looks pure sex. i saw it on hindley a few weeks back. looked soooooo good. but i was also extremely smashed at the time?

anyway, thats going to be great when you go manual, i cant imagine what the auto would be like and how restricting it is.

very nice james. round lights just work
as do the minilights [:p]

love the break down vehicle in the boot

i think its about time to post up some interior pics.
just put center console compartment in today, and very pleased how it turned out.

seat covers are disgusting, need new ones [V]

rear parcel shelf courtesy or Shea, bought it aaaaages ago, and put it in aaaaaaages ago.


hopefully get some new exterior pics up soon with lower ride height.
coilovers.



i had an accident a few months ago, very disappointing[:(!]

hope to have this fixed soon.

Out of curiosity, how much did the coilovers set you back?

$170 for thread and spring cups
$30 sandblasting and undercoat
$250? for springs.
just used struts that i had, and got all welding done by a mate. painted them myself aswell,and had top spring holder drilled out by a mate.
just using old inserts and strut tops for now.

its slightly lower up front now.

the passenger guards still wrecked. i got another one in the shed, but i need to repaint it. hopefully sometime soon.. its been too long [:(!]

so i haven't really changed a whole lot lately, except Cibie Oscars and 1/4 bumpers up front, and louvre on rear window [thanks Fordsy!].
