Sam_Q Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 yeah just let us know if you need any help hey I might be making some cheap rear bypass plates up in the next few weeks, are you interested in one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sign me up for one of those plates Sam, very keen. Woo Hoo!!! Got all the front suspension in today :y: It's a completely different car, ride height is no-longer like a 4x4(on the front), springs are a pretty good match. Haven't got a wheel alignment yet, but I'm already impressed by the way the car sits on the road. I really need to invest in a digital camera!

beerhead Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) Wheel alignment made a huge difference. By the looks though the steering box is busted so that has to go be changed too. Gotta love the place i got the work done, Rocklea Mechanical Repairs. The owners mate had just bought Tony Longhurst's targa tasmania car and was sitting on the hoist getting checked over. The shockies on the thing had a 38mm bore and were $5000 a corner. Apparently they're the same brand that run's in the V8 super cars. mmm, 1 shocky would cost the planned build cost of my whole car :) Brian who run's the joint is a champion, he races a highly modified porche 911.

beerhead Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Probably sell it. It's in need of some TLC. Also got a strong B1800 mazda diff with 4.4 open wheeler centre with ea disc brakes that'll probably be sold too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerhead Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Picked up the Spirit on the weekend. bit rough around the edges, so it'll be a quick grind and bog over for rwc. I might keep an eye out for a cheap auto with a good body. I wonder if I should store pinky and fix it up really do like the old car and I've alway's wanted to play with another worked K motor.

Raven Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Keep Pinky in the club if you can. I'm sure Fook doesnt wanna see it get destroyed by an inexperienced driver as a lot of work has gone into that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
