azza91 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Posted January 31, 2013 got the seca back today. ended up being the wheel cylinders ʞ©$ɟed up and leaked everywhere. combined with all the rain we have had, made the drums rust up completely. brakes have now been fully redone now so like new. Quote

azza91 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Posted April 4, 2013 failed rego inspection yesterday on two minor things. just need to replace parker globes and work out why the left side wiper wont work, or just replace the wiper motor. best fail on rego the car has gotten since i have had it. just means coilovers will have to wait till next weekend.

carbonboy Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 If it's just the one side that doesn't work, odds are something has broken/become disconnected from the mechanical-arm arrangement that is underneath the plastic vents at the base of the windshield. Couple of screws & off they come. :) Quote
azza91 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Posted April 6, 2013 got the car ready to pass rego today. next up coilover install! Quote

azza91 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Posted April 12, 2013 so this happened today coilovers went in :) had a bit of trouble with the rears scrubbing on the spring seat but got that sorted out. need to raise it a bit more in the rear as it just scrubs on bigish bumps and obviously am alignment but already i can notice a huge differance.

azza91 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Posted April 14, 2013 adjusted the heights now, is a bit less eye catching now but still looks good. also rolled the rear guards as i was getting some scrubbing and managed to crack some paint and shit :( will try and get that at least primed up today to stop it rusting.

azza91 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Posted April 20, 2013 went and relaxed after work this morning at a place just round the corner from work and snapped a few pics. have adjusted the height of the car last week, can bring the front down a little more but I'm happy with how its sitting for the time being. oh and as carbonboy can attest to, my part of the world is pretty nice ;) Quote
