i want to travle as far as the funds and time off permits.. i'd like to compete down there, the track looks like alot of fun..

Good work dude.

 

What type of front bar is that? Methinks i need a couple....

sweet, i thought it was similar anyways. you wouldnt happen to be the same person who had cheker plate stickers on the boot and bonet of a ke70 at the last drift day?

 

ps. it looks like your on acerage of some sort? are you on the coast?

the car looks top man.

 

do have to admitt that i like the matt black a little more though but pink would look good and the black bonnet will be a good touch.

 

good progress :)

no not the same person.. i heard about that car tho and was told it looked alot like my car...

and yes we live on a acre block on the coast.. I'm very fortunate to be renting a house with so much room.. we got a dlug at the house and the big shed down the back so we always end up with heaps of cars being built/modified/fixed here... thats why we call ourselfs mangotree performace.. we started out at the old place building cars under the mango trees... :)

 

 

so all the painting is now done and the reassembally has started but unfortunatly i gotta start work again as wel l... stupid work...

 

as for the bars.. they are off a sprinter.. just modified to fit ( read cut the buggery out of them eith a jig saw )

i have to say the colour looks so much better in person. top work :)

thats a nice finish youve got there. done in house at mango tree i guess? haha. love the name.

that looks ausum i love the colour!!

ok ok.. ive been a bit slack of late with posting pics but ive been far too busy working on the car..

so this is how it is as of today.. dash and all of the cabin wiring is all back in and engine should be in by the weekend

and this is another mago tree project../ so far it owes its owner and grand whopping total of $164 plus o.r.c.....

i think the car is turning out realy quite well for a backyard build.. nothing so far has been done out of the shed so I'm quite proud of myself :y:

Very intresting.

 

hmmm... those gauges still trip me up.. being like.. xt130? design and all..

haha both cars are looking sweet!

that wing makes it look like an 86 coupe a little bit. did you mean that or you were going to put it on anyway?

if u don't mind me asking where has the front kit came from on the red 7t

hahahahaha the front lip is a mangotree performance part made by myself (as i am the owner of the car) i will post up pics of the build soon
