You didn't.....did you? :lolcry: Damn..... she cleans up a real treat! :happy: Hauled out from cover, cleaned up, parts car coming, sounds suspiciously like it will be out & about again soon! :wink:

I actually don't know what it's called, at the roundabout with the HJ's/BP servo you go across the train lines then turn right straight away. Then just keep going straight...right down the end of Towerbridge (?) Road, would be a nice view of the city on a nice day! :laff:

:yes: :yes: :yes: Especially if it'll look as good as I think it will when you're finished! :y: I'm still chugging my way through reading your thread, think I'm on page 14 or something... :wink: Fantastic work man, keep it coming! :)

:blinks: ..... :| ..... :sob: *Smilies used as text contained too much profanity*

Seeing as you're not looking to pour large amounts of time & money into this car, this seems like the best route to take. Rather than do nothing & allow the rust to eventually render the car unsafe for road use (in the eyes of the law), halt its progress & leave the total replacement for someone who has a ground up restoration or similar in mind. Just my $0.02 inc GST :wink: Noice air shot! :y:

Didn't you know it's easier to steal the scales from the kitchen rather than do your work there? :P Nice work with the curing oven, basic but effective. If the paints not fully cured, your first trackday session should solve that! :yes: Make it fast, then make it look nice. :y: Erm...maybe I should do a bit of that? :blush:

You're not gonna put what I think you're going to put into that into that are you? :hmm: OR put things from that into what I think you're going to put them into? :P Either way, I'm probably wrong! :wink: Have fun now! :y:

Happy Birthday Irokin! You're younger than me...?.... :blinks: Don't forget the Silvia!

:yes: :yes: :yes: Except with a 2nd hand TD04-L hanging off the end, not as badass as yours though... :wink: Looking forward to seeing vids of it running/Toyofest pics! Good luck in getting it ready! :y:

Yay, update!!! :D Nice work on the exhaust manifold mate :y: it's things like that that make me want one of those on my car! :wink: It's looking to be real close to firing up?

BMW 325i? Tin snips for the fail!

Makes that single rotor powered lawnmower from NZ look a little underpowered! :laff:

Spotted: Me in Sunbury today, working in the new housing estate & freezing my ass off in the mud! :(

^^^ Don't forget your rubber gloves & safety glasses, the stuff hurts like hell on bare skin! :yes:

:no2: Deport HER!!! :yes:

Mariah Carey, causing mental anguish since 1990. :D

*sings* "Dreamlover come rescue me, Take me up, take me down, Take me anywhere you want to baby now. I need you so desperately, Won't you please come around, 'Cause I wanna share forever with you babyyy..." :hammer: Just when you think you've erased a memory....

Yep, that rich smell is pretty much always present, except of course when moving. :lol: I did have a fiddle with this in the past, but will swap it over this time around & see what happens. Cheers for the help mate! :y: If or when the 2ac dies, that's the most likely thing to happen. :yes:

My cousin's out of hospital now, not sure of any conclusive results of tests etc but doing much better than a week ago! :yes: So getting back to the shed, doing little things like passenger side detailing. Previously applied drivers side detailing sanded, dusted & washed. Primed. Doing this reminded me I still need to finish the jack points... :doh:

Cheers mate! :y: Speaking of giving attention, Blue Things 2A-C been irritating lately. Topped up the oil & coolant on the weekend & she now wants to do a loping idle, starting at 1500rpm then down to almost stalling then back up again OR just idling at 1800rpm. :blinks: When it was being readied for RWC I just advanced the timing a little (& ran 98 octane) & it idled at around 1200rpm but now I can't rotate the dizzy enough to retard the timing back to 9 degrees BTDC (bottom dizzy vacuum line removed & capped when setting). I've checked all the pollution lines are hooked up correctly & not leaking, the diaphragm's appear to function correctly & all new gaskets on the carb/throttle body/warmer plate. Fuel pump & filter are new & it does this regardless of spark plug/dizzy cap/rotor button condition, also my idle control screw has little effect on reducing the idle speed below previously mentioned RPM. :hmm: I'm questioning the auto-choke, so going to swap one over from my other carby. Also questioning the intake/exhaust manifold gasket as it has not been replaced in my ownership & the headgasket, as when the front end was on stands with the heater fully open & the radiator cap off there was a fairly constant stream of fine bubbles coming up forming a foam. No trace of oil at all though, nothing but clean coolant so the thermostat's getting replaced as well. Actually, I'm questioning a lot, as I have NO idea. :blush: Any ideas people? If someone can help me confirm that I don't have to change a head gasket that'd be awesome! :) Fixing up the push bike as I have double block of trade school coming up which is half the distance it is to work, so BT can be off the road for a little bit. That reminds me, better buy that drum of coolant while I still have a car running. Bits. More bits. Cheapy $20 drill for wire brush work. Went through 3 of these (love replacement warranties :laff:) earlier versions before being unable to get one & having to use the good drill. :( They've changed the plastic colour & made the packaging all pretty :lolcry: Oh & Blue Thing has louder tunes now! Yeah it's old, but it cost me postage & a $6 eBay wiring harness. Going to dig up old amp & run rear the speakers off that eventually but atm 4x45 watts is massive compared to what I'm used to' :P As you can tell, I'll spend what money I HAVE to on BT, it's the daily & we have a love/hate relationship. Gokai's the money pit. :yes:

Okay, not going to confess anything too juicy here. :P But... The car I wanted (so bad) as my first car: A VL Turbo bro The car I ended up with as my first car: An SV21 Camry :lolcry: Favourite band at one stage of my life: The Spice Girls

I love how EVERYONE wants to be "different" by doing one thing or another. :) With a worldwide population exceeding 6 billion, what do you think the mathematical chances are of someone else in the world having the same idea as you? Certainly not 1 in 6 billion. :P If you don't like something, leave it alone (i.e I don't particularly like redback spiders, so I leave them the f@$k alone). Life's much simpler & peaceful that way. :yes:

I used to have these, ads for Coke Zero, Skydrive,some kinda mobile phone... Little Flash player thingies? Then I updated my Firefox version & they disappeared. :D Can't say I'm complaining, my connection speed isn't the fastest in the first place & they didn't help any!

WGMG - Vomiting & having it go up your nose, it burns, it burns!!! :(
