    Hey guys...

     

    Havent been able to get much done on the Rolla due to being really sick the last few weeks...

    But its definately great to get back online and seeing everyones progress on their rides :dance:

     

    But heres a few random updated pics for ya'll...

    Interior door handles:

    Sprayed in a red anodised dye with a silver sparkle!

    Gauges:

    Have relocated them to the driver side A-pillar. They were origionally on top of the dash, but after chucking the origional dash and smoothing/painting a new one, I wanted it to have a more clean look.

    The tube that is used for the boost gauge was also quite large. I used some heatshrink I picked up from Jaycar and used it to tie both the wiring and tube together so it looks much neater.

    Random exterior pics...

    Now that I am feeling better, I'm going to get stuck into it big time now!

    The engine is also ready to fire... Just need to pressureize (sp?) the oil system and put some fuel in her :D

     

    FINALLY!!!

     

    I just noticed you don't have front indicators!!? I got a mate who had a R33 Skyline and he got a new front bumper and it didn't have front indicators and he got a defect notice for it and he had to install new ones.

     

    How's the car going anyway? :jamie:

     

     

    It still has a front indicator tho, Moe did you change the flasher unit?

     

    Hey fellas!

     

    Yeah I had to get rid of them in the bumper man because they were fouling on the 'cooler piping!

    My old man is a Transport Inspector in Tassie, so after having a chin wag with him one night, he said because the indicators on the sides (just around from the headlights) are visible from the front of the car, it is legal :D

     

    Not sure if it differs in another state tho :)

     

    Cheers, Moe

    haha yeah cheers man :hmm:

    Appreciate it!

     

    Yeah 600... crazy huh... actually, thinking now, it would be around 7 years since I bought them (never used them til about 3 years ago lol) and the front 3-way 6.5" were $450 or so each pair!!!

    Crazy how much audio was back then lol

     

    At some stage I will upgrade...

    But looking what I have spent on the car already they will do for the time being ;) lol

     

    It would be a different story if I were being sponsored (like alot of high end cars) :cool:

    Hey Johno!

     

    Was that rust on the passenger side?

     

    If so, mine did the exactly the same thing and it all comes thru from the petrol cap!!!

     

    Ill have a gander at mine and see what we did to overcome it (was long ago and can't remember lol)

    Keep up the awesome work man!

     

    Cheers, Moe

     

    EDIT: had a better look at your photos and it is the passenger side :P

    Hey man...

     

    When painting the mirrors, I just masked up the glass and moved the glass around to get the paint as much as I possibly could in the edges!

    I tried taking them out the first time I painted then, but broke 3 set of mirrors before I learnt haha!

     

    Regarding the dash, it was because previously, there were other holes from previous gauges in the dash... When we willed the over, the filler must have distorted from the sun and make the paint crack!

     

    So now when I get the new dash, there will be no holes, which = no cracks... :(

    Does the guy do ae92 dials?

    As I have done a ae92 dash conversion! :wink:

    And how much?

    As I'm very pissed that I may have lost $85 grrr!

     

    Some of the underside has been detailed (suspension arms etc...)!

    The guy who does my airbrushing is keen to set onto a hoist and airbrush the underside the same a the engine bay :(

     

    I'm keen to do it...

    But can be done later down the track!

    Thanks guys!

    Now that I have parts coming in again, I'm starting to get excited getting it to a finished state ;)

     

    JiP, yeah I used to use the Dodge for weddings, but alot of people have no respect and some a**hole broke the origional diecast rear left door handles, and trying to find a replacement is becoming hard :y:

    Its not completely snapped off, but its damaged :y: And the bastard didnt even own up to it :(

    And the other thing that sh!ts me with weddings is confetti... it gets EVERYWHERE :(

    But I do like to do leavers dinners as its usually younger and seem to appreciate the car more!

     

    Johno, the coupe must have been a special order, as most Fairmont GS's came out with a V8... But mine came with column shift, 250 6 cyl and bench seat! And brown as far as you can see haha, the interior, the duco, EVERYTHING :wink: yuk! Who would honestly buy a completely brown car is beyond me haha!

     

    Update on the Rolla Bus:

    The good news...

    - The dash and all plastics that go along with it have now been sprayed (pics to come) in a sweet 3 layered pearl!

    - Rolla Bus stencils have been ordered (pick up next week) ready for the air brushing on the dash pad

    - Door trims are almost complete and ready for pick up on Wednesday (they ran out of leather, so had to order more lol)

    The bad news...

    - The dash pad has turned out farked (lack of better word). When it was origionally a black 2pack finish, the heat at some stage when it was out of the car got under the primer and has 'bubbled' it slightly, which without sanding it back to the vynal cannot be fixed! I am getting a new dash pad on monday and mod it to fit (bit of cut and shut lol) then will get that sprayed mid next week if all goes to plan!

    - The white faced replacement dials I ordered STILL havent arrived after 2 months nearly! Been in contact with the guy and still no luck... not happy! Especially when I had to pay in full... Phone calls will be made again soon, and the angry redhead will definately be surfacing haha!

     

    Its my day off on Monday, Ill get some pics of the dash plastics and other stuff!

     

    Cheers, Moe
