I have just bought today an AUIII XR6 in Silver. It isn't much to look at yet but it will be. I have my 18" wheels to add and of course this one will get the BEEEG BRAKES that I had intended for Lucifa.
Haven't thought of a name for the beast yet but I will. Here are a few pics. Attachment: All4.jpg Attachment: AUIII_5.jpg

Just got to get the bugger rego'd and fix a couple of things first. Hopefully I can this Friday if not, next Friday for sure.
 I will tell you when I see you why Lucifa has been cancelled. I still have it but I will be selling it. |

I bought 2 new Tickford badges today for the front guards, the old ones someone had tried to remove and snapped them.
 Since I got the little devil I have taken off the throttle body and the ISC valve and cleaned them, I had to change the plugs, fuel filter and 1 spark plug lead.I removed the air inlet off Lucifa and put it on Silver plus the snorkel. It sure felt funny to actually PAY almost full price for them. Attachment: TickfordB.jpg

And a hefty price it probably was too . . .
They seem to weather better than the older XR badges themselves.

These are lacquered where the others are just painted. The only thing that gets me is that the XR and 6 badge are silver and not black.

Yeah True - don't recollect ever seeing red AU XR6 badges - only XR8.

I have done a few addons:

The NEW XR is coming along slowly, I went to take off the N/S/F upper control arm and someone had tried before and rounded off one of the nuts so, I did two jobs, 1. in taking off the Inlet Manifold and getting the nut off with a chisel and 2. cleaning out the Injector Manifold and changing the filters and seals of the Injectors. Just as well I did as I was able to undo most of the Manifold bolts by finger..
I also put a new coil and leads on. I am going to add the Front brakes this week and the rears a few weeks later, the rear is a much harder job. There WILL be picks.

Good to see some action happening George. Look forward to the development of this one.

Thanks fellas, I did some work on Sunday and put Silva's front end back together. I added the front brakes and am going to do the rears very soon.
I have FINALLY put my Wheels on the NEW beast and they look VERY good, still have to change the rear springs but I will soon. Attachment: DSCF3579.JPG Attachment: DSCF3580.JPG Attachment: DSCF3583.JPG Attachment: DSCF3585.JPG
