  1. nuh it's straight as, i don't understand wats goin on. but its a long way from fitting. might have 2 modify brackets somehow... i got brackets comin for the rear bumper so i think that will fit up allright.
  2. hey, I'm not sure if i've put this in the right place or not... feel free to move it if I'm wrong. i have a 1979 ke55 sedan. i've put alot of work into it and am now considering moving onto another project -has a custom green paintjob, was done around 2 months ago and car hasnt left shed once since its been done. inside boot is painted matte black. cost of $1k -all rust has been cut out, new plate welded in, fibreglassed then bogged etc. car was rust prevented with fish oil, inside doors and boot lid etc etc. -is on 15" skyline chasers with BRAND NEW diamond back tyres. cost of $700 all up -full chrome ke30 bumpers -new H4 headlights, re-positioned side indicators, like vx commodores with those indicators aswell. -specometer tacho -ke70 5 speed gearbox -engine had new head gasket, new gaskets thru carby, new water pump, new drive belt, new manifold gaskets, valves re-tapped, new air,oil and fuel filter and coolant. all this done a little while ago but car hasnt even driven 10km since then. most of its life with me has been in a shed. here is the link to my project thread, hasnt been updated in a long time tho... http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=16336 would be great if anyone could help me out! cheers
  3. how can i find number 1 on the dizzy? is it marked or anything?
  4. ah ok, i have a gregory's manual n had a read today, it all seems pretty straight forward now. thought i would jus get opinions aswell tho, thanks
  5. i went round to see the bash car today and take it out for a spin. but when i lift the bonnet to jump the battery, i notice the distributor and leads have been taken. also the dipstick was thrown across the yard and oil was all down the side of the engine. considering there is a backpackers jus across the road and u can just see the car from the road, i point the finger with no questions. :) :bash: I'm asking, if i get a dizzy and leads from a wreckers. how do i put the dizzy back in considering it wasn't lined up or anythin?
  6. sorry to hear bout that mate. major kick in the nuts!! lol. i went to check on my bash car today and take it outta town for a spin, some F***HEAD has taken the complete distributor and all the leads and left one hell of a mess. hope all goes well with the replacement parts and alarm if u get one....
  7. u can buy pin striping rolls. i got a roll of white to go on my car. it's just a thin kind of tape. i haven't used it yet so don't exactly kno what it is or how good it works. i got mine from auto barn
  8. yeah u can. the chrome strips simply pull out, removal of the windscreen isn't necessary. i pulled all mine out and chucked them cause they were badly cracked, buggered if i kno what I'm gonna do now lol
  9. i have full chrome ke30 bumpers to put on it. is it possible to adjust them so they line up on the car?? the front bumper pushes to the right way too much and rubs on the LH quarter panel (allready chipped paint, F**K!!) any ideas or help on this would be awesome!!
  10. i would say the same as taz rx. wheel balance is the first thing that came 2 my mind
  11. ah ok then, havent' really considered ebay, i checked out rare spares a lil while back and i was lookin at around $900 for the 4 doors, boot and i think front n rear windscreen :D will check out ebay pretty soon anyway here are some pics of the car out in the daylight, pics still show the colour poorly (half way back together) needs to be black behind there i rekon. Note the new horn, accidentally broke terminals off 1 of the old ones lol
  12. hey, does anyone kno where i can get cheap but new door seals? I'm after all 4, plus boot seal and also the seal at rear of bonnet.... they're the only thing holdin me back from getting this thing back on the road.. need them asap! any help would b great
  13. haha 2 late now mate, from all the shit i went thru jus to get it painted, i jus wanna leave it lol. time to start focusing on re-assembly and problems
  14. lol yeah I'm stoked that it's finally home. ummm no metallics, just a solid colour. was thinkin of doin a coloured clear when i was goin to paint it white. but not much matches with green otherwise lol
  15. Pics up. all painted, WOO HOO!!!! the pics really don't show the colour as usual this is as close 2 the colour as i can get, still nothin like will get more pics this weekend out in the daylight
