After putting the driveshaft in and taking her for a drive i then notice the ends arnt phased... so it vibrates real bad at certin revs but its not that bad just need to turn one end around a bit then she'll be sweet.

On other news the warning lights on the cluster gauge arnt lighting up when ignition is turned on its not the bulbs as ive put new ones in so i might have to go over every wire and plug to see if somethings unplugged.

Also considering weather to put a rev counter cluster in from an ae70. Not to hard to find in NZ which is good but just want to know how easy or hard it is to install it any help would be muchly appreciated thanks.

Fixed the cluster guage and wiper problem today some wires where stuffed and fuse's were blown. Just gotta make the front water squirty thingy what ever ya call it for ya wipers work and fix one indicator tomorrow. then i just have to sort out my front door cards as ive lost the drivers one so i have to improvise haha and then put rear seatbelts in. Getting pretty close to completion now. can't wait!

Sad angry annoyed. So many mixed emossions right now took it for a drive on sunday and went to go change into second (wasnt going slow) then a loud crunching sound happened and i cannot change down into second from third but i can select second from first. So it looks like syncro is worn out as it is a 27 year old gearbox youd exspect it to happen some time soon. Losing interest in this pretty fast now so much shit goes wrong, just want the ʞ©$ɟing thing on the road!

Bit of work done today

fliitttttthhhhh

Got few things done lately, painted hinges (forgot to paint them when the rest of the car got painted lol) put mud flaps on and painted spare wheel cradle. can't fit jack under diff now because its so low the spare wheel stops me from gettin it under the diff . Just means i have to put on blocks now. Also redrilled the mudflaps so they sit flush not pointing inwards

Hi guys! Completely forgot about this build thread haha Just remembered about it when my mate came across it the other day. Thought id show ya guys what ive been doing/done to it and keep it alive.

 

First off I got a pair of TE dunlop's imported from japan. 14x6.5 +4 offset so plenty dish for 6.5's.

Took her for a drive around the block so i took a picture on its first proper outing haha

Took a few pic's of the heart when i was bored one day

Then came the time for exhaust system. 2 1/4" straight through with directional resonator to take baffel away on deceleration and high flow muffler.

Few snaps for the fun of it

Got some tires for dunlops

Bit of shopping kyb rear shocks rubber for the wats and metal for the driveshaft loop

Bit of a collection of manuals etc

Cleaned the garage up after dad had finished making the rear shed so put the fx-gt in there and turned the cortina around. Much more room :D

More snaps

Second photo is the car being cut for buffing.

And again also put mudflaps on front and a twin cam 16v badge and lower half of front lip.

Came across this at local shopping centre. Dem wheels!

Fx-gt in back shed

Anyways thats all for now!

Shes buffed! and put pinestrip on drivers side to see what it looks like and i think yes!

Looks good. Love the dunlop wheels on her.
