my car in the garage getting ready for paint. was going to do it 2 tone but every 2nd dude has done it and for $80 more i got enough paint for the whole car so decided to paint it a nice jet black. cost me just $300 for paint thinners and clear coat. SCORE
so began the long task of sanding it back
just a shot of the interior. there is not a scratch anywhere
factory turbo... yayer
had to get a new gaurd as some idiot bogan kicked it in at the diesels
got these rims for $200 but have some 17x8 koya drift techs on their way
factory turbo l20et with 110000km on the clock. with 14psi i got the car to a 15.6@89mph with bald tyres. not bad considering the age, size and the fact it came with 140hp standard.
all primered up and reary for paint
this was the first coat of paint but i **** it up as i had too much air pressure through the spray gun. after some experimenting i got it right
me and my mates started the primer at 11 in the morning and had most of the chrome back on at 11.45 pm on the first nite of the chch 4s and rotarys. just in time to go for a cruise and have a look at some sweet cars and some hot bitches.
will take some pics of the finished paint soon and will hopefully have my motor out before the next update as i have an rb20det waiting for a rebild and some massive power mods
go to this url if you love old skool jappers. this has to be the best vid on the net.

just a pic of the rims i have ordered. they r koya drift teks in racing gold and are 17x8 all round
decided it was time for an update. just a small 1
just outside in blocks, in the process of pulling the motor and box out. havent been doing **** all as its too cold and dark after work and cant really be **** working on my stuff after working on trucks all day. just starting to get sum cash so will start getting stuff 4 my motor an hopefully rebuild it soon. when the motor and box is out i will put it up for sale so if any 1 is interested, leave me a pm or email me.
after painting. looks good but needs a fukn good cut and polish and rest of chrome fitted. i think its much much better than the ugly poo gold.
still waiting on my fukn rims as mag and turbo r really getting on my bloody nerves. this waiting will just make that day even better. if you think i should keep the old skool theme going by getting older wheels, let me know as im open to any suggestions.
if you have any recommendations as to what i should do about the interior just leave a comment. not sure wether to tidy up original inside or strip it out and just put in a cage and some buckets
