Almost been 10 years, still at it 🤣

Oh that is fantastic ❤️

You can't see it's...ugh... not so healthy side, so we'll stick to the propaganda view for a while. Steve, you are a legend for the photo & making it look like that! :)

HEY it's about time I sanded it back to metal and started this process all over again 😂

Cannot believe after 10 years, this thread is still powering on. My god. 10/10

Sheeet. Ahh well, she'll be all fixed up in no time

hahah thanks for the comments :) Still the daily driver, clicked up 15,000 kms now days. ^_^

Like a blast from the past ^_^ Little blue beast lives on as my daily, end of this week she will have clicked over 10,000 kms ! Sir Med-Man saved my ass a few months ago discovering a hellish intermittent fault - wet weather, car would not start. Elec Fuel pump would not kick in. Any guesses ? lol. Wet weather I would have the front demister on with the blower fan on low. Turns out the variable fan speed resistor Red/White wire was mistaken for a solid earth. Sooo... everytime the fan was on 1, the car would not start. Car broke down in my driveway 5 odd times over the years.. once running, was ok, just not enough to start the wincam as my brother calls it. Apart from that *TOUCH WOOD* it's been a turn key reliable daily that sings to 8-thousand quite happily. I won't be selling her any time soon. Been collecting too many new bits. Maybe part of her will be up for sale though.. he he he :devil: #itneverends

Man, this is looking.. Amazing :o ! Must pop around one day and see it in the flesh :)

Usual 6 monthly update! Car is fantastic, lives undercover most of its life battling discharged voltage syndrome. I might take it out this weekend, its very over due for it. Might even clean her too. Next September.. this thread, 10 years old. the hell :o

I still hate you for this. =D

hahah this is unreal =D !

This is wild ^_^

Ahhhhh fantastic. 1081 km's - Tue Feb 5 12:30 am BP servo on the northside of brisbane, Blue car splutters to a halt. -_- Thanks bosche for an expensive, noisy and now non-pumping fuel pump. Thought i'd put some fuel in her whilst i was.. at a fuel station. Drank about 24L of BP's finest, 330 km's. Much better than the 280 kms to 42L last time.. lol. Oh well, maybe this car is better suited to a museum. It looks good on the back of a tow truck. lol.

9:21 am 21/01/2013 Blue car in my driveway. With rego. Winning 8D . A huge-thankyou to Mr Shades for getting said lump of 30 year old car 1/2 way across the country. Cheers dude :) 640 km's on the clock. :thumbsup:

Bah humbug. Car place not open saturdays to public. Be nice if CEVA's answering machine and webpage + google listing removed the "OPEN SATURDAY 8AM to MIDDAY" Sigh -_-

Hahah Cheers Guys ^_^ Lets see. Car has almost 500 km's on the clock now. Tailshaft needs to be balanced / replaced with a 1 piece. God dam the 2 piece tailshafts are trash at the best of times. After a long wait at a set of lights, about 30 seconds later the car feels as if it gets vapor lock, coughs and splutters for a second then comes good. Apart from these 2 little.. Issues, the car has been faultless and drives really, really nicely. It's not the fastest car around, but it feels like it would be good for a high 15, low 16. Just have to find out oneday What else have I been doing on it. Installed a stereo into it today and some rear speakers. I have taken photos, but need a computer that takes an SD card.

I'm too tired to type any more. I know i've missed a few things. lol. The car has just turned into a 'How much stuff can I fit into this car, make it look totally stock, keeping to the blue-car OCD standard' ^_^

Just for the record, when Nick purchased it off the 2nd? owner, the car was driven in the shed December 2002. Wow. It has been 10 years since that car has been on QLD's roads. a 1/3 of its life in a shed. Numberplates should have been LOL 070 ^_^

Thankyouuu =D 7 years, 3 months, 1 day from the first day I started working on it in Justin's parents shed, over 1800 km's away - Blue car / OKe70 is now on the road ;)# Had 88 km's on the clock (000088.3 km's) :P this time last week. Tonight, put 140 km's on the clock over about 2 hours. Adjusted the headlights, re-wired the cooling fan operation, Installed my new cup holders properly in the ashtray (so proud, I need a photo :P). Car has a vibration in 3rd at about 3000 off-load, comes and goes in all the gears; eh. Its not too bad atm. Really need to install the door operated fade-in & out feet lights. I hate not being able to see things at night :P Exhaust got fixed up. By the people that fitted it. With a ziptie :S - Will get the name of the company and bag them out sometime later. On the cards tomorrow : Horn / Check fluids / Tyre pressures / Adjust TPS / Switch for choke position / Radio / Speakers / More Km's / Oil pressure gauge It still feels.. odd that it's actually on the road now. =D I shouldn't, but i kinda drive it like a granny. owning a volvo 240 and 1x HZJ75 non turbo L/C Will do that to you ^_^ T

The stock 4k in my white car has a 3.9 T diff - It works quite nicely :) It's only a 4 speed, but even so at 100 kmh it's quite nice to drive. Id love to put a 5 speed back into her ^_^

Oh Hai :) 1) Headlights converted to removable beams (no longer sealed) using H7 Bulbs; they don't have an isolated earth. Until I upgrade to HID's, 2x sealed beams will get this through road worthy lol. What a nightmare that was finding the bad earth -_- 2) Rear brakes sticky and.. needed adjusting - done 3) Windscreen washer re-adjusted 4) Ash tray converted into a twin pull out cup holder from a 2002 hilux cup holder assy 5) Nanna visor will be installed in the morning on the rear window after being re-sprayed 6) New LCA bushes installed 7) Factory centre caps from the stock 13" steelie wheels fit perfectly inside the 'focus espree' wheels giving it that.. factory touch =D 8) secondary bazooga horn installed ^_^ 9) indicators playing up due to leaking diode (after-market alarm being a whore); temporarily removed need to do - green dash light above ciggy lighter needs to be replaced - Install low beam lights - Install wheels - Rego - Install OKE70 plates ;) - Drive :drinks:
