Clown Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 So Bianca's left for S.A allready and I'm left here to finish off my rehab stuff. If anyone see's a red n/a aw11 mr2 on vic plates give her a wave, thats her new car. I've gotta get a car on the road soi can move across and the spirit has been chosen over the mr2, mainly due to the fact i wanna turbo mr2 before i get that over in s.a, that and its goin to get colder and wet soon. At the moment as it sits its dead standard with the usual rust. Its goin in for a RWC check in 30 min to see what i need to do. At the moment i know i need to fix rust on the arches and change the rims over to the other rims i have with decent tyres. I would have done this allready but bianca's mate squeezed me in at the last minute and i haven't had time to change it. I'll post up a few pictures when i get home. Goin to start by getting it rwc and reg'd, then doin suspension and rims/tyres then depending if i get the liberty sold i'll pull an all weekend thing and do a conversion with mates. Quote
Raven Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 She's here already hey? Let her know if she see's my car to also give me a wave :P Quote
Clown Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Posted March 2, 2007 shall do mate, she should be there by now. I think she's allready in the pool and drinking bourbon :P. Just got back from a quick RWC check. Repair rust which i knew about and was goin to do anyway. Bascily just your stock standard rust these cars get. Horn not working. Old one shat itself and i put a new one on but didn't have time to mount it so it was hanging so removed it. left windscreen washer not working. Was before i left, got home and found that it was really low on water, filled up and she's all good. Wash motor and box. General crap buildup these cars get. Left and right front shocks shagged, got a pair coming anyway. Front brake pads and rear brakes need to be done. Left and right steering rack boots have cracks in them. left front brake hose has a small crack in it. Tyres shagged. Got tyres waiting to go on for RWC and rims waiting for after then. Deff front seal needs to be replaced. Right reverse light not working. Replacing in 5 min. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) Blue spirits = RARE ! Nice :P I know someone with a white one... Awesome, love these cars. Are the seats still 80s cool originals? Edited March 2, 2007 by LittleRedSpirit Quote
TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 Looks good mate, can't wait to see the fast progress of this one! Shame your leaving vic already... I was hoping to meet another rc member! Ahh well... will have to wait til the next Ocean rd run! Quote
Clown Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Posted March 3, 2007 The seats are still the origional spirit seats, love the cool 80's look of them. They're in avg condition so I'm in two minds on what to do with them. I May have tracked down a mig so rust should be out soon if thats the case, next is tracking down some cheapo front shocks just to get me through road worthy. TheNOBBLER: if i get it reg'd in time may post up a small meet in easter, that way bianca will be back aswell and i'll get her to bring down her new (well to her) mr2 also. Either way we should be coming back ever 2 months or so anyway but we'll see what happens. Quote
Clown Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Posted March 3, 2007 Oh yeah, i've gotta remove the rear seat covers! Quote
Clown Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Posted March 5, 2007 Horn, washer nozzle and reverse lights now work. Whats up with the design for the reverse lights :P Quote
Clown Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Posted March 5, 2007 spirit seats are different colours/design to the usual ae71 seats. Quote
Jono Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 good luck with the rehab stuff, its worth it in the end... Quote
