got covered in oil pretty fast so the idea of handling my camera (a 1000 dollar nokia N95 8 gig) didnt really appeal to me...

 

but imagine similar photos to last time i took the head off, only minus the bloody lifters, tho that bit was like childs play with the lifter removal tool...

righto then, started stripping the manifolds and other pus off the 4k in the other car cause it looks like I'm going to have to swap it in to get mobile... the 5ks going to take too long to get bits for and I'm going to go all out on it now hey. see my thread in the general mechanical section for that bit)

 

here's the donor motor with the carby off!

 

 

and here it is with the manifolds off, just gotta get the eleecy bits off tomorrow and bellhousing and torque converter woo

 

so far this build has been sponsored by two of my little friends, both are amber colored fluids, both help immensely with working on old corollas...

 

hehehe.

bahaha, nice work.

 

I too have friends like that. Just that if i over use one of them, not much gets done :P

I don't have any friends like that, but the old man has plenty hahahaha!

 

(I'm gainfully employed and he's a uni student, but I still skive his beers off him)

 

Did you really get lifters for 3.80 each? I'm guessing Solids?

here it is with everything else disconnected ready to liftizze out

 

 

and heeerrrreee say hello to my little friend, thats a air operated block and tackle, fark man made things so easy haha.

 

OMFG it flies yo!

 

and then down to its final resting place till it gets shipped off to frawleys :yes:

 

 

will start pulling the 4k later on i think, depends how our other little project goes (installing a fail assed reversing camera into my grandads AU falcoon) if i don't have enough time for that ill get some done on the interior swap...

 

looking at painting it asap too hey, looking into my options ATM but satin black is looking like a winner for me.

I saw on pimp my ride 2 nights ago, a camaro with flames on it. Black car with black flames, Just a slight silver metalic outline of the flames, Looked horn! If you get flames I would suggest something like that. I tried to find a picture but this was the best i could do.

 

Lol@ the model car...

 

Nah man i doubt ill put flames on it again when i paint it hey, the reason i want em off is the local coppers here apparently like modded cars a little too much, so much so they spend a lot of their time pulling them over for inspections haha

 

i just want it all clean and one colour hey...

 

my inspiration for the satin black paintjob is the rauh welt s15 (and the porsche too if anyones seen that) before they painted it silver...

I was wondering how there was a girl on here with such an in-depth knowledge of cars. It's uncommon for women...I'd really like to learn more about cars, to be able to do all of this by myself.

 

You're right about the flames, especially if you live in Redcliffe. You really don't want to attract attention, as the police tend to pull over anybody who looks like their car could be fun from Redcliffe down to around Burpengary.

 

You're thinking of painting it black? Really? Why not red :yes:

 

I would LOVE to paint my Corolla like the car in Starsky and Hutch: tomato red with white stripes. But can't afford the $5K I've been quoted for the job.

Hehe umm PM sent...

 

as for colour choice... nah i LOVE the satin black right now

 

the below car is my inspiration for satin black paint BTW

tell me you don't love it as much as i do?

 

yea that things mean, ive always wanted a satin black 180sx

 

great color choice will look good as :cool:

Check out the rx2 in this vid.....

 

 

Was just and interum thing until the proper paint job was done, but I think it looked hot as hell!! :cool:

is that a matte black tho or is it satin like the car i posted? can't tell due to youtubes awesome vid quality :)

 

theres a slight difference in the two :wink:

 

least thew cars sound right <3

 

stll considering going 13b hey, waiting for a mate to get back from holdays to see what he can build me and for how much :cool:
