  1. i honestly reckon a coupe will probably be my next buy....after seeing that pic above nice mate..!
  2. let's put it this way, mate she has allowed to me co exist with her, at this point in time :-/ lol
  3. wow, just wow..! and wondered why i never saw this thread, til i saw the dates..lol
  4. will have a good luck at the setup after i get my Xmas present(mrs is getting me ramps)lol will make up my mind then, mate
  5. and hey..! i remembered that while checking it out, he said the throttle body was off an XF falcon. thats why the dammn TPS wont wire up...lol got a line on my old 4age ae82(thanks Luke..!) so hopefully chuck a bit off that into this to get it driveable
  6. driver's side is literally rusted right through to both skins and through the interior metal thats about as far as it got today. picking up an exhaust manifold gasket tomorrow, hopefully fix the leak, tidy up the wiring, raise the height to a driveable stance, it literally sits on the bump stops. then get into the body more once again, thank you very much Trev, you kicked ass today, mate getting there thanks for reading
  7. you earnt it mate..!
  8. found this pro bumper spacer FTW..! fuel filter and pump 'mounted' directly above the diff, but just smaller than the bump stops...so close to getting crushed. will be relocating that setup asap
  9. also filled in the bumper mount holes, so it doesnt look like it's missing
  10. so, dropped her at Trev's this morning, went to work, and came back to the back done and undercoated, and the rust on the side rear windows started also. he only stopped due to the rain. what a legend..! love your work, mate..! will let the pics tell the story
  11. cool mate
  12. noice mate..! i know a few guys will be envious of this
  13. thanks Reed. will look into how to wire it up and D/L'ed that now, thanks and yeah Rob, they do, lol Trev, will try get it driveable and rock over after work. if not, all good. the rust will still be there after Xmas, lol
  14. will do mate. will get her driveable over the next few days, and pick a day when you arent busy or anything
  15. thanks mate, worried what i will find when we start to dig tho, lol
  16. it has a very secksee exhaust, all i would like to do, is add a big dump tip plans are cut out rust, tidy up wiring where needed, tint windows, fix headlights and jsut a general tidy up overall also the throttle position sensor is not hooked up and that is the reason it idles at 2000RPM, I'm told? any way of hooking that up somewhere or bypassing it?
  17. and now for the bad... that i didnt notice til this arvo
  18. I think S14 seats?
  19. BC coilovers with adjustable camber tops
  20. thermo fan switch is located in the grill and doesnt require the key to be on, so anyone can switch her on at a carpark or W/E and flatten the battery, lol changing that asap Thermo fan Earthing point will fix that asap not bagging previous owners, all the important things are done, and has all the good bits, just needs time put into her love how it has the supercharger Rocker Cover
  21. yeah mate it is. i read right through his build thread on 86 forum before doing the deal, to confirm it wasnt a dodgy conversion. good news is Brad and others from this forum helped with the build for Kyle, and did a nice job of it now, my drive last night was an interesting one, for sure. it was raining and dark when i looked at her, so we pretty much made sure it ran, lights all worked, took her for a short spin. then did the deal now, as I'm leaving his area and heading into Brissie, i sorta felt the clutch getting progressively worse, less pressure etc. until, as i hit all the new bypass area, there was no clutch at all. matching revs to change gear, praying not to stop at all. then somewhere near the ipswich bypass, i noticed a shudder through the car, at random times, over 70km/h, then randomly would disappear so i couldnt stop to look into it, as i would have a hard time taking off, so i babied it all the way home. also noticed the exhaust had a mild leak, but as i got closer to home, it got louder, until, as i hit the top of the range, it sounded like a tractor...lol so i get her home, luckily, have a quick look under the bonnet when i get home, before throwing her in the shed, showering and bed.. the clutch reservoir was empty, so i suspected a leak or something? so after work today, i had a quick look at things before it got to dark missing passenger side engine mount nut(hopefully that is all the shudder was) more to come
  22. i prefer the ones you and Reed have as they remind me of a classier 12 slot rim
