Seems that way doesn't it?

 

Paint flat white

No bumpers all round

Fill all holes etc and relocate indicators

 

and the big one:

 

AIRBAGS!

They do standard but I'm going for a different look with this car and running no bumpers.

I'll wait for this one to get defected too :dance:

 

No bumpers = No no in the eyes of Mr. Law Enforcer.

Absolutely no chance of being picked on for no bumpers. You'll never be able to tell unless your very familar with type 3's. It will just look like any other car to normal people.

 

I think ill have more chance of being defected for the height and the airbags don't you think?

I agree with that, it would be different if it was a Commonadore with no bumpers.

 

If it came to it you could spin some shit about it this model is an import and has intergrated

bumpers or something but I doubt they'd even notice.

But then they may ask why it was not made the comply with Australia standards when it was imported. :dance:

 

I agree with Troy, they'll pick on the ride height way before they even notice the bumpers..... but I supoose that depends on how much air the bags have in them at the time! :)

2psi? haha no ill actually drive around at a reasonable height, the front is looking to be just air shocks anyway so hopefully it should ride really nice.

love it troy

Haha, make it amphibious.. it would be a pisser :laff:

damn it troy, you're going to get me into trouble.

 

there is a guy round the corner from me with a squareback on carbs and he said he'd sell it to me cheap. i keep telling myself i don't need it then i come in here and you have another type3. aaaaahhhhhh!

 

please stop building super cool type3's. it's not good for my willpower.

Kehendo you should look at the non-toyota thread I am just about to put up.. should sort you out nicely :)

New Plans!

 

I havent had much time to spend on this lately so i have decided to give up on previous plans. I'm 'ratting' her, driving her and enjoying it!

 

Ive got it on the road and its going great, drives very nice considering.

 

Lately i have:

 

-Installed a new exhaust, twin tips, sounds MEAN.

-Got a new bumper with over-riders, cost me $10! It was f@$ked and so i have straightened it and threw on a couple spot lights.

-Full service and tune worth a few hundred.

-Cleaned up alot of little things.

-Installed a single rusty eyelid. (it rocks)

-Lowered all round.

 

Still to come:

-More stickers

-Retro graphics

-hood ride stencil

-whatever other crap i think of?

 

Heres a shitty iphone picture, will take some good ones once its closer to finished.
