shLONG13 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Bit of progress has been happening on the Ae Managed to get the last front guard paint stripped the other day and mock fitted it all up properly. Fits up all surprisingly well considering it has been crashed in the front at one stage. I'm also after a set of Rebel rims to fit it in 14x7 or 8 or 15x7 or 8. Does anyone know of any or where i could get hold of some? want a set to run for the track. Thinking of getting a set of replica work equips for it for the street from the states and painting the lips gloss black like the ones in the picture and run a tyre with a bit of white writing around it, make it look a bit race spec, a bit like the white one in the pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbr11k Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Was scrolling down on my phone and as I read the idea about the white writing I instantley knew you would have got the inspiration from that ke71 lol. p.s the panels look pretty dam straight from what i can see, awesome base to start with.

shLONG13 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 So on futher inspection we have found out that it has been crashed in the drivers side pretty hard before and the panel beaters have done a dodgey repair job. The whole drivers side inner guard has been pushed back and across wich has put the wheel 6mm back and the bolt holes for the guard are no were near lined up! So we had a talk to Dads mate who is a panel beater and he said the inner guard will have to be replaced to fix i properly. Then began the massive job of unpicking all the spot welds, removing it and replacing it with a new one then welding it all back in. Luckily my mate had one an old Ae71 in the backyard that was due for the crushers. We finished all that and took some more measurements only to realise the wheel was still back a bit because the rail was also a tad bent. So we worked out the cross member holes had to be slotted across to bring it right. Once all that was done it all measures up with in 1mm, so not to bad and now all the guard holes line up properly as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
