I purchased the car as a run around, stock except for the 17" ROH rims and chopped springs "bogan much" it served me well for.months i had a small mishap, car+curb at 40km side.on = whats linkage smashed out the diff and one undrivable car. So i had a.dead car and a need to fix it..... the makings of a project. Recently born son, so had to have a car, my mun also recentky.passed and i needed to be constructive with my time, yhe bottle i crawled into for a month wasnt doing me any favours. So it began Same time a mate dropped a 2JZ GTE Twin turbo into his Supra, cost him 7k just for engine and professsional install. " i vet you couks do a whole car for that or less" was my words.....

Its been ages since i posted but thought id try and make.some effort.
Ive been actively planning and buying bits for the car, and looks like ill be doing a big build in the new year. Unfortunatly ive done Nothing 100% sweetFA to the car in the last 8 weeks. Working everyday, no time..... its killing me. Im been looking into an engine rebuild. New paint design How to upgrade the front brakes What forced induction will be best How to improve on my previous ideas and heaps more. I have however made a decent effort.with the body, dent removal, rust removal and.so forth. That doesnt.take.much time so easy to do 5 mins here n there. |
