  1. Considering its age & being a rally car at some stage of its life, it seems to be in pretty good shape. Some of those rusty sections may have to be cut out & new metal welded in, if you're lucky you can get away with rust treatment. I've seen KE70's in worse condition! :laff: P.S - Good on you for doing a project for your ol' man. I'd like to do one for mine but I figure doing an FJ Holden would mean he's in a walking frame before I could finish it ... :lol:
  2. F@*king oath!!! I wish it was pay-for-results, not pay-for-session-that-achieves-jack-all. :(
  3. Uni racecar? Travelling to Japan? Awesome stuff man! How'd it all go? :) Looking forward to your progress, the slightly warmer weather should help with that too.
  4. WMMH - Driving alongside the beach in St Kilda on a warm, sunny afternoon. Just admiring the scenery... :wink:
  5. Gawd dern early Sunday morning getups! :P I'm in. :yes:
  6. Deadlines for project car works..... :lmao: Best of luck with your exams dude! :y:
  7. That French/German/Greek deal is just messed up! Sounds like a plan to get Greece into even more debt (if that's possible). I can think of of a circumstance where the Government 'giving' people money can help relieve (maybe not remove totally) the poverty situation. I was over 25yrs old, living independently & as a 1st year apprentice was earning $328 per week after tax. Hardly poverty, granted, but considering the current costs of living my favourite cookbook was '101 ways to make rice taste good'. Our ol' mate the Government chipped in an income supplement payment that came through every three months that worked out to be about $130 per week after tax. This taught me a thing or six about budgets & priorities, so things have become a lot easier with just that small 2nd year increase. Of course, by doing this the Government expects that I'll become qualified (which I will) & theoretically earn a higher than previous income (bloody hope so!) & therefore pay more tax (:() ending up in a return on their initial investment. Without it, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing, which is getting out of the unskilled labour force! :)
  8. Holy sparking wires Batman! :blinks: Air con, schmair con...wait...you're in Queensland, you need it! :laff: Nice work man, I'd be making more mistakes than that. :y:
  9. Turbocharge it! :yes: For the love of all that is fuel-injected, please don't put carbs on it. Want induction noise? A set of ITB's will solve that! :wink: P.S - I think your life was better NOT knowing what a Hyundai Excel is... :lol:
  10. WMMH - Finding a place to live not only for me, but also my dog, the donor car/parts & trailer. What's even better, all in the same place! :D :dance:
  11. 80's poo brown two-tone for the win! :yes: Bad that it happened, but good that it's being fixed & someone else is paying for it. Looks real nice with the lowering job & wheels. Spotted one of these up the road from me, want me to 'borrow' their bonnet & guard? :wink:
  12. :o An unmolested WRX....wow, they do exist! Clean, I love it. :)
  13. Subaru Liberty wagon? :)
  14. Whoa...that's blowing the dust off a thread... :wink:
  15. Rust around the fuel filler flap in an AE82? Never! Invisible clutch... :lol: . Looks like she needs some loving, look forward to following your progress. :)
  16. :blinks: Gotta tie 'em down somewhere...
  17. Jealous as..... :P Thought you said the back seat was a pain to get into? Makes sense now. :wink:
  18. The 4AGE - MT stickers are also available on ebay if you're interested. :)
  19. WMMH - Hot single mums at kids birthday parties. :D
  20. It's also a lot easier to bargain a lower price with people when they see a wad of the folding stuff, a keycard doesn't quite have the same effect. :)
  21. +1, assumption is the mother of all stuff ups.
  22. My world collapsed... :lol: Yup yup, took it back, kicked up a stink, walked out with 2 b&e mcmuffins. Both free & with bacon. :D
  23. WGMG - Ordering a bacon & egg mcmuffin, go to eat it & there's no bacon!!
  24. At the moment? More like year-round, but we Mexicans are used to it. :lol:
