  1. Yes i purchased the outer panel from rare spares and the inner one that sits vertically was bought from an independant guy that presses them up in his workshop not cheap
  2. Whole exterior of the XB is in primer now, have already started high building and blocking straight.
  3. He said the total bill with everything would be around the $5000. Aussie diff shop quoted me $3000+ to get a diff shortened to the length I want, axles shortened and re splined and leaf brackets put on. It is alot of money there but I guess I can see the value in it as it's a car I want to hold onto - already had it for almost 5 years. Found a 180sx rolling shell that I can use for $600 so there's a start
  4. I found a guy that does race car engineering just down the road from me. Asked him about IRS and he said he's done it before to a ke25 rally car and the price wasn't that much more expensive than the T series so go figure lol. Searching for a S13 whole rear setup
  5. Around $900 for all the skins and door cards Found a Te27 strut brace on gumtree of all places so i grabbed it and I must say it has made a definate improvement on the cars handling. I blew the head gasket in recent times and seal-up has worked for now... Another reason to get my ass into gear and install my 4agze though ^ _ ^
  6. Parcel shelf completed and alot of rust removed from the boot! Removing parcel shelf/window surround. New one sitting in position New shelf and windscreen surround Also stripped the quarters back. One was in really good condition and the other had been in an accident but we hammer and dollied it until I was happy with it There is no rust in the car at all now which is a feat in itself for those of you who know how badly they rust. Next is getting everything prepped for epoxy primer.
  7. It's just gonna be used as a weekend driver, want to keep 4x 114.3 for wheels and disk or drum doesn't matter, Has ae86 discs on the front. I never do burnouts or launches, just open the accelerator on straight roads really.
  8. Hey guys, basically have the engine and gearbox ready to go just searching for a diff.. I was looking at a T series but for $1750 with disc brakes I think ill shop around first.. I have a ke30 diff here in good condition but I'm unsure it will be strong enough for the Gze. Any opinions? I also want to get whichever diff I go with shortened for my deep offset wheels. Cheers guys kinda hit a wall on this one
  9. I switched to semi-sealed beams with Phillips white/blue bulbs and noticed a massive difference alone, This will be next on my list, can't wait !
  10. Progress progress.. F*** me parts ain't cheap for these things. Parcel shelf is going and starting fresh. Just keep swimming as Dory would say
  11. Ordered New interior (Door cards and Seat skins) out of NZ for the Red Baron can't wait for it's arrival, Eyelets in the rear seats as well. Other than that not alot else is new on her, Been focusing my efforts on the projects and using the 25 as a daily. Also starting my search for a Te27 Centre console, Gauges and a Nardi steering wheel. In other news, My goat busted out of the fence and jumped on the 25, scratched the bonnet and guard, I henceforth now proclaim that my goat is to be chained up at all times. Has anybody had experience with these arm kits? I'm looking to improve my handling and ride > http://yahoo.aleado....1888#enlargeimg
  12. Do what I'm doing with my panelvan and buy a new skirt, drill the spotwelds out and weld the new one in. That's everything from the firewall forward
  13. Little bit of progress on the coupe, Finally sourced some door cards Also cleaned up the engine bay ready for rust repairs. Progress is going pretty smoothly, I don't think it'll be done for my Christmas estimation but early in the new year should see her done :)
  14. Speaking of which I went and saw the new mad max and everytime the XB came up I leant over and told the girl I was with "That's my car" wirh a smirk on my face lol. Awesome action movie to anyone thinking of watching it. The front guards have new lower quarters welded In and straightened. I'm on the bonnet now and have been sandblasting bits and peices and getting them in primer. Moving pretty smoothly through this one.. Here's a few of the genuine GT bonnet that I'm stripping down :)
  15. I just bought a pair (Lower quarter replacements) from rare spares at Labrador, They have them listed on their website.
