Boylehead Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Picked this up about 6 months ago now. Ive been doing small things over the time due to lack of money so thought there was no reason to post up a build but now Ive worked on it a bit thought Id promote it a bit. One day I want this to be close to perfect (in my eyes) but this is what I started with, First thing I did was fix up the rear leafs, currently running a 5 leaf pack, 2 flipped. Stiffened up the rear end significantly but hoping on an again less bouncy setup in the future. I then got some tires for the rear cheviot turbo's, spacing out the rear down the track then possibly new rims, The cheviots are growing on me. I stripped back the tailgate also and covered it in spray putty and primer and got the windows tinted while I was at it 5% rear 20% sides. Had a bit of fun with some wires. Then I decided I liked the shaved rear alot better than having a bumper. I went and got some chicken wire and expandafoam and filled in the rear bumper mounts then bogged over the top. Was experimental, left side has popped since and a little water has gotten behind. Going to either weld some metal plates in and do it legit or make some drain holes to prevent moisture from sitting in the bottom of the bumper. I have a k50 box for it but no shifter for it so If anyone has a spare shifter laying around send me a PM. Plans are to keep the 4k and werk it. Constructive criticism welcome as I have no idea about colour or what should be next on the list of things to do. Ill also point out this is my Daily as well currently :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boylehead Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I forgot to mention I put a pair of adjustable racing seats in it using the rails from the old seats, some flat steel bar and a bit of drilling, tapping and welding. They sit a bit high, and took a bit to get used to but being Higher up and seeing more of the road/bonnet grew on me like the cheviots. Ill post some photos of them up soon.
