Update:

Booked in for roady for wednesday... finally. :dance:

Good luck mate, It'll pass :y: :wink:

Looking good man, hopefully mine comes out the same way...i doubt it.

Thanks guys!

 

Desperately need the bottom of the vinyl back seat...

 

Ready for the roadworthy today at 2pm!

 

Things I think they'll pick on me for:

Exhaust manifold leak (It goes away when the engine is warm so hoping they won't notice...)

Tail light.

Windscreen wipers.

Small rust patch I forgot to fix in the back drivers side quarter.

Shame to hear about the tail lamp :( Are you going to reinstall the damage free adm lamps to pass the R.W. As I believe the cracked will fail.

 

Awesome job on the polishing, looks very fresh. Whats on the cards this weekend? I was thinking of taking my ke70 for a run out your way on a saturday.

Car is coming along very well! Good luck with the inspection. IF you should fail because of the lamp, or if you want a replacement (which you probably want) I can ship you one out.. :)

Wheel bearing need to be adjusted, rofl.

Drivers seat need to be replaced! It wasn't bolted down properly.

Drivers seat belt.

Manifold leak

Rust in rear quarter

Front Indicators weren't plugged in, I realised on the drive back home...

No Jack or spare tyre in the car.

Thanks mate, I should be ok for it. If you have a seat belt lying around I'll grab that, haha.

Haha, seatbelts are probably cheaper to get locally :P But as an heads up it was only Australia who carried on with the old style rear lamps after the facelift :) Other parts of the world (even NZ I think?) got the new lamps, so there are plenty up here for ya I can source if you want to replace the cracked one :)

I just need some new old seatbelts, I singed them with a lighter to get rid of the frayed threads and they noticed only the drivers belt, should be easy enough to find another belt.

Pretty annoying how Aus always ends up keeping the bad stuff haha, same situation with my 1800 Ute

I'm getting another shipped from singapore for just the postage, apparently they have a warrantee or something, so I'll be right :wink: Thanks though.

that wasnt a bad list man, better get your move on only 2 weeks to go :D

With the windscreen, inquire if it can have the pitting/chips "polished out" the bloke who did the rw on my ae71 tried to rip me as my as new windscreen had slight scratches in it. Luckily I requested to have the issues polished out and it was in an afternoon :)

 

So what about saturday during the day, i.e late morning or early afternoon? As thats when i'd most likely be in the area.... :hmm:

 

PM me you're mobile if you can :)

I'll get it done :yes:

Seat belts are the only thing that's really sort of worrying me, I'll have a look around.

I'll ask the guy when he comes round to do it.

I was told that ma61 seats bolt straight in, and I know a bloke who has some he's willing to sell me. Is this true?

Otherwise I might look into that, which skyline?

Looks immaculate in the rain haha, this is at the Ford place ready for the first roady inspection.

 

Update:

Did a few things today... Good day for it.

New bad/old tail lights in. (I'm going to be selling these when I get my 'new' good tail light.

 

Had a look at the wheel bearings, they seemed to be fine to my Dad and I, but the road worthy says tighten them, so they're too tight now, I'll put them back after it's done.

 

Took the door hinges off to replace the bushes, just got some hinges from a spare passenger door, had to saw off a bit to make it fit.

 

Slightly harder to fit being the wrong side, didn't manage to fit them properly yet.

 

Next to the other rollas and some shit blue thing. :y: The ke30 still runs, just doesn't have brakes at the moment, brothers car!

 

Got some seatbelts out of a random car we have lying around, its stalk isn't long enough for the catch, so I'm going to take one out of an old Mazda 323 I hit a tree with.

Also got the new windscreen put in. I rang the bloke at 8 this morning, he managed to source a brand new one, bring it to my car, and fit it by 3:30pm after lunch... for $175, not bad I reckon.

 

Getting the Stalk tomorrow, and fitting the door properly, then she's ready to go back tomorrow arvo or Wednesday.

Next to the other rollas and some shit blue thing.

:lolcry: That "S**t" Blue thing happens to be a VL Commodore (stating the obvious). :lolcry:

 

Your K-Sev's looking Good Mate. Shame about that Tailight Incident. Keep up the Good Work.

 

Josh :cool:
