carbonboy Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 lol that's exactly what I was thinking... tho Telstar>? least the others are Toyota's .... suppose a Mazda is at least Japanese :P Yeah, the Telstar... :lol: It was going to be my mates project car, but I convinced him it's a better idea to leave it standard, daily it & spend the money on his Mini project, i.e something worthwhile! :laff: The Telstar I've grown to like, probably because I've spent much time repairing the damn thing for him as his mechanical abilities are.... :hmm: ... still in development. Which probably why he's on my case so much to help him fix the Celica for RWC, he's not 100% confident doing the work (mainly replace all suspension components) by himself & his missus is on his back about it (big time) as it will be her daily to replace the Paseo. So when he gets off his ass & starts it, I'll be there to help, I'm not doing it for him! :no2: :laff: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azza91 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 hows the settling in going carbonboy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonboy Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I like how it's thought I know what I'm doing..."Heya, you know about cars right?"..."No, I know about AE82 Corollas". :laff: :laff: :laff: I have half an idea, the rest is what the workshop manual's for! :D I figure changing all suspension components on a FWD Corolla vs a FWD Celica should be pretty simiilar, just bigger bits on the Celica. :wink: P.S - I dug another hole Dad. Settling in's going well Azza, probably taking a while doing it but there's a BIG pile of mates stuff waiting to be thrown out taking up the space where I want to put my stuff which is semi-out in the rain atm. :( Went to visit my cousin & her daughter last night, as much as she could pi$$ me off, I missed the little bugger. Have now been sucked into mowing the lawns there. :lol: I did wander into the garage, pull the tarp off & say hello though! There's more space in there now some junk's been binned, so setting up shelves to store gear & fixing that bloody roof! *sigh* So many handyman jobs to do!

carbonboy Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 just think once its all done, how much time you will get with the 82' Hopefully enough to complete body prep & paint (crosses fingers) before my work holidays are over. My mate keeps mentioning me helping him fix the missus's Celica, so that will rob some time but seeing as he hasn't gotten off his ass in 2 months & even put it on stands yet, I'm in no rush. It's his balls in a vice, not mine! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonboy Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) *SIGH* Well, not the update I wanted to write.... Walked out to BT to go to work this morning, put key in door lock, think "why does the key not go in?", then "why is the door already unlocked?", followed by "why are the contents of my centre console & glovebox everywh.....F@&K OFF!" 8| Some lowlife *insert nasty words here* decided to break into it last night, seem to have gone looking for anything of value, found nothing & discovered that the immoboliser says NO to starting it so they've given up. Trust me, there's nothing of value in it & they don't appear to share my taste in music as all my cd's were still there. :laff: Have had a few ideas for DIY hidden kill-switches for Gokai, might be testing them out on BT as a backup. :hmm: If/when I get another dog, it's gonna be a Doberman! :yes: Guess where the kennel will be relative to my cars... :evil: Currently replacing both front door locks, ignition barrel & a 4AC tacho dash to replace the Twin Cam item that's been there pretending to be cool. :lol: Am pretty happy to get away with that little expense as compared to the last time someone tried stealing it (see first photos on page 1). While I was at the wreckers I also scored a pretty much perfect condition drivers window regulator & glass, so I can get rid of the plastic sheeting/duct tape that's currently keeping the rain out of Sudi. :) Edit: Works on Gokai are being delayed a little as: a) our car parking setup here is being changed, a bit of 'landscaping' will be happening in the front yard :wink: & b) my work holidays aren't what I was expecting so may not have the time I was looking for. Also the reason why I won't be attending the GOR trip. :( Edited December 14, 2011 by carbonboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_kid Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Are you serious!? That sucks!! too many people have been having their cars broken into recently. not cool :( And no offence at all but BT isnt exactly an expensive car, nor does it seem as though youd keep anything exxy in there anyway... so why would they target the blue box out of the whole neighborhood? :glare: maybe they saw it when you had your whole house shoved in there while you were moving? :laff: As for the drivers window... where abouts was this wreckers? not deer park was it? any other 82s there? Same story about holidays for me... i shoulda been on hols 2 weeks ago, but somehow they always sweet talk me with some moneys... always :bash: lol last week this week though :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonboy Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sadly yes, I'm serious. No offence taken, was wondering the same thing myself. :P The CD player's at least 10 years old, the rear speakers are the same ones as in the photos on page 1, the rear seats are AWOL at the moment so you can see from outside the car that there's nothing in it & I found my (slightly exxy) tape measure in the glovebox I'd forgotten about. Nothing was taken, not even stuff you'd think they'd take as compensation for not getting the car. Was Pick A Part in Campbellfield, there's a few AE82's there, mostly Secas, I even found a yellow AE80 with a 2AC. :D If you want a pretty good nick drivers window regulator, go the the burgandy Seca, it's under the drivers seat. If you want drivers door glass with only a few almost invisible scratches on it, on the front seats of the red Seca. Both cars are at the end of the rows where the main path/road is. :) If you want an AE9x radiator with the angled top pipe like I do, you're out of luck! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
