So... No start up today :(

Lost my top rad hose.. And got my head all messed up with wiring..

On a bright note, the gearbox is all bolted up properly and got the carbs bolted in, extractors bolted on ad the fuel lines sorted :)

Just need the top rad hose and get my head around shit, then I can get her started :)

They do need new tyres ;-)

And I actually want the stock wheels as I'm gonna run those until I save up enough for my new wheels :)

Work meister CR01 16x8 +10 fronts, 16x8 -3 rears. And khumo KU39 195 or 205/45r16

$2300 for wheels, roughly $600-$800 in tyres... Until then, I'll run her in stock trim with some 165r13 Bob jane's :P

I'M BACK BITCHES! :D

done absolutely nothing on the poor old girl. she even got moved to the side of the shed without the door to make room for my brothers torana... but, theres an itch coming back ;-)

ive got the rust cut and plated in the front of the sill behind the guards. so all I gotta do is get some paint matched (my incompetent painter done a runner after finding a dozen fxck ups), and repair the back of the guards, and the front can be reunited with the rest of the body!

I have since got her running though. but I gave my shifter and carpet to b2 (the 2.6 gb). I have since sold b2 and im now down a shifter, so shes not going anywhere soon :think:

watch this space in the new year! good things to come.... I hope :P
