January 10, 200521 yr comment_27504 Yes, I've finally pulled my finger out, and Bluey is on the hoist at Chateau de Wayno's. It rolled in at 1400hrs yesterday, and work started half a stubbie later. Engine and box are out, interior out, body deadener out (mostly), and a certain amount of body ugliness found. New front left guard and valence panel sourced (thanks Fook!). If people want I'll post progress pics as we go. Here's a couple to get started..... Engine out, average front end..... Edited January 10, 200521 yr by Redwarf Report
January 10, 200521 yr Author comment_27508 A fair bit of ugliness on the LHS, but we'll get there. I'd like to add that my panelbeating skills aren't great, that's why my new Nav is helping (alot!)...... Edited January 10, 200521 yr by Redwarf Report
January 10, 200521 yr Author comment_27516 Seam weld, respray, brake upgrade, suspension upgrade, grunt upgrade, seat upgrade. Diff rebuild. That's about it. Should take a couple of weeks. Edited January 10, 200521 yr by Redwarf Report

January 10, 200521 yr comment_27520 fair enough good on you red. so we should see a fair bit of blue in the not to distant future, will it still be blue? Report
January 10, 200521 yr comment_27534 i think a better phrase for the origional redwrf is a) Driver is at a point where he wont crash it to an un-saveable state b) it just doesnt want to die - its got more lives than my cat. c) its too good to just stop being used !! its the coolest corolla around :P Blue car looks great rob :) - can't wait to see it again ;) !

January 10, 200521 yr comment_27540 haha, one of my front guards is that funny blue color too :P I'm afraid the front beaver panel thing is that ugly mustard color though. Report
January 10, 200521 yr comment_27541 Hmm, that front guard looks better than the one that's ON my car at the moment (after Qld Challenge last year anyway, oops), what's actually wrong with it? Can't tell much from the photo... Beaver panel looks like it's had a few hits? :) I haven't had a good look at mine, but I think I remember it being okay. Not the best, but okay. And hmm, that rear wheel arch looks like some fun :P Maybe you should just get flares and cut all that rust out ;) Report
