arthurs seat??

Spotted this one in moonee ponds out front the foxtel building not long ago. And in the same place i found this on a different day. a young girl drives it, absolute minter. Cheers matt.

where will the trip to portland start from?

Mate if it gets anything close to those pics of the jdm car i'd be over the moon. I really like what you have done and was just about to mention fitting chrome bars to complete the look but it looks like you've got that covered as well. Good job mate. Matt.

loving the cream vinyl, white walls, venetians, visor, condition, actually the whole thing :P :D

That should be a neat looking car by the time everything is swapped over. I really want those seats

good luck mate. Looked good to start with so i can only imagine what it'll look like when it's done. Just a question i have always wondered, if you loose your car licince do you loose your bike licence as well? Matt.

Nice work buddy. Try not to neglect the enginebay as that surface rust won't take too long to develop into something more. Got any ideas on colour? Matt.

should look nice with a decent tidy up, sounds like your on the way too. Congrats on the bargain.

Dude you are a legend! I can't getn over that snail!

Great first rolla. Got to love the budget mods! Can't go wrong with removing protection strips and the stripes! Matt.

Thanks for the comments guys. :D And Teddy i'd really like to take you up on that offer :(

Nice find there mate, she most likely won't give you any trouble as a runabout. Keep us filled in with progress on the lux as well. Welcome to the club mate. Matt.

MORE POWER! :jamie: Thanks for the comments guys, and if the clutch goes i will most likely be fitting shitty ones from then on!

lmao. it looks better but i'd still take the Veyron. My 2 cents.

Very nice man! Good to see you rescued her. i always liked red or orange on that shape. Matt.

Thanks mate, yeah dad and i are anti-bodgybob lol. If you got to do it, then you got to do it right. once. Sorry but i didn't take any before we put it in. I'm working on at least taking some short in car footage, but it's hard when i'm on m l's as my dad can't take vids for shit :jamie: But it drives great and sounds great! You could be right on that one, but i'm not sure. Thank's for all the great comments, i'm still wait for "constructive criticism" which is also welcome. Matt.

thanks mate, we just cut the sump where it was not clearing the cross member and rewelded it so that it would clear. Also the custom clutch was made specially to adapt the ke55 box to the 7k flywheel. It cost a hell of a lot but was worth it as it saved alot of mucking around and it's probably the strongest component in the driveline now. cheers Matt.

that is absolutely wicked, especially since it has been updated since the beginning! Congrats and it looks awesome, where did you get those clear indicators from? Glad to hear you're alright and so is the car (mostly) EDIT** They look like last statesman before the ve (insert model here) indicators.

New Plates and wheels :)

Pics from just before the second k box gave way, superlites and custom plates.

Look how old this thread is :jamie: welcome popandwar. is the rides and projects up and running again? EDIT** look like it has been for a long time two. **burries head in dirt**

Hahahahaha. That's for sure, vinyl is easier to maintain than most other materials but you sweat like a pig in hot weather.
