roids70 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Posted July 18, 2006 just abit more that i have done i am trying to get as much as i can but I'm not getting enough money, i just hate spending it faster than u can ern it, oh well, i also go tir3ed of using spray cans, so i finnaly decided to go buy a compresser and gun, i got all of my items to spray with apart from the paint. i have also changed my mind about the colour, its either gunna be really really really red or a blue of some sort probably a really dark blue maybe, but candy apple red cost $800 a litre so I'm gunna pass that one, i will try and keep myself motivated so i can finnish the car will post more pics of progress at another date Cheers Sean Quote
eviltwin Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 looks good man, I'm sure you can find some finished project shots from others to motivate you Quote
Bustin_86 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Looks great mate, good to see someone doing up a T-18. Love these cars. I'm also doing a bit of a restoration at the moment, and i can really sympathise with the frustration that you are feeling, it is hard to get motivated but i find it easiest if you just think of every panel as a goal lol! Anyway mate, good luck with it all. Look forward to reading more about the project as it goes along! Justin Quote

roids70 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Posted July 24, 2006 sure is! ran my fully charged batter dry in about 2-5 minutes today, so i have to have it running wehn i wanna play them! Quote
tas_ae71 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 you should paint the headlight surounds black.. you don't have and t-series diff centres do you? or maybe some of those old skool crome rims? can always use a spare set.. by the way i have a t18 that is sorta going to be wrecked a lot of parts are well worn, if you are after anything drop us a line and we might be able to work something out. the engine gose (just) needs a rebuild badly. the box is still together but had jumped out of second after a masive clutch kick last time it was drivern. oh and it has been rolled.. there is a few straight panels and almost a spare complete engine that has been out in the weather for 6months minimum so it may not be much good exept maybe the block and crank... no diffs though like your project, i think you save a lot of money by buying a cheap compressor/gun. the bonus is it pays for itself and at the end you have a heap of tools for next time.. cheers keep up the good work Quote
bruce Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 Hey Sean, Are you going to use your old grill, or are you going to use a ta22 grill to go with the twin headlights? Quote
roids70 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 Bruce: Umm I'm not sure at this point in time! atm I'm just playing with old buster grills i have got of the other cars! Tas_AE71: umm atm I'm not too sure about the diff centers atm cause I'm using one for a weildy and I'm not sure about the other one at this point in time! all my rims i am keeping for the moment till everything is sorted out, witch could be a while. what kind of price are u looking for out of the good parts on ur T-18? cause if there are some decent parts i might grab them like interior (seats, center console, dash cluster) and the engine are u looking for some money for it and the box? umm if u really want just give me a PM one day befor a w/e or something and we can organsie something if u want and u can come around to my house and find something if u want.! Cheers Sean Quote
