hey guys, snatched this beast up quick as i could :P only set me back 500 bucks ;)

 

thanks ruts for setting it all up and stuff, i've changed the oil and oil filter, air filter and adjusted the timing a little so it runs a lot better, and it soesnt seem to be blowing any smoke either, i've also cleaned the side strips right up and painted the rear spoiler, now i'm just waiting to get the red rolla back so i can swap the exhaust and cv boot over, clean up that rust and she's ready for roadworthy. heres a few pics i have:

Nice! Was a steal for $500

Yup - I was surprised nobody 'locally' wanted to snap it up. Glad a club member got it tho.

 

I'll be keen to see how this car progresses, I have known it for many years now.

 

Looks good so far - now that you have painted the spoiler you'll have to do the front and rear bars.

yeap, they will be done soon enough, only thing i'm worried about is that they'll come out TOO white, the spoiler did! but i'm going to leave it anyways, still gotta wash the car, then i'll see how it looks

Hey guys..cleaned her up a fair bit since i bought it

 

The engine bay:

 

 

The exhaust about to be put on:

 

 

The interior has been cleaned up HEAPS! but i don't have pics sorry, theres this one tho:

 

 

The car is going in on monday to fit that exhaust (tiny bit of welding involved, i don't have one), and to replace one of the cv boots, then roadworthy. Then its rego, can't wait, i just have to bog a little bit of rust before i take it in. :D

Looks like you could eat your breakfast off that engine bay now..

that's great, bargain at 500 buck i've bought worse for that..

Good work...

 

What's the plans for the further mods?????

Well i'm not going to do too much to it, but in the near future i'll chuck on an oil catch can and replace the shifter linkage bushings with bearings....and i'm going to put 'roil' through everything! good stuff, anyone else heard of it.

Hey guys, the rolla's registered now and running pretty good. Really need to get make me a short shifter and get some bearings for the linkages, but otherwise i love driving it, its alot more responsive than the red one was.

Anyways heres some shots of how she's looking now.

 

 

Hey guys. Finally got the mags on, and I'm stoked, it looks so much better. and the tyres have about 100x more grip too :y:

 

Once again ruts....thanks for getting me this beast, i still can't believe i got it for $500. from recent inspection it seems it has near new:

- starter motor

- drivers side driveshaft

- passenger side cv joint

 

So thats tops. And all i've had to do is replace a wheel bearing that was stuffed after about 1500 k's. I've still got the oil i first put in when i got the car, and after approx. 3000 kms it hasnt changed colour at all. i'm still absolutely STOKED at how well this thing drives.

:P :) :D

 

 

 

 

This rim wouldnt fit because the mechanic who put the exhaust in didnt align the control arms properly.

 

Last one.

 

 

:y: :y: :y:

Heres a bit of an update.....i've got all the wheels on for a start haha.

 

- Ive painted the dash black, looks heaps better

 

- Removed side strips and gave it a cut and polish to even it all up

 

- Got me a k&N panel filter.....best mod yet, I defnitely felt and increase in power...and thats on crappy freedom fuels fuel.

 

- Put in a shifter bearing kit, replaces the old rubber bushes in the linkages for nice skateboard bearings

 

- And yeah other stuff like stereo etc. Heres some pics of how she is now

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks heaps better without sidestrips...theres a few marks, mostly where the previous owner had obviously touched up the paint and theres a ridge in the paintwork where the top of the strip was.

Lookin good Mike, Hopefully i will see it this weekend.

Yeah you will if i end up dropping off that dash....are you gunna come on the twincam.org cruise on sunday?
