So i thought i should probably introduce my 200b, as very soon i will be asking many many silly questions.
Got this 200b about 6 months ago from a guy who owned a car yard. He got it of the original owner, and bought the car for his kids to learn to drive in. However his spoilt kids said "im not learning to drive in that piece of sh*t". haha silly kids. Good thing was he put brand new tyres on it before he sold it to me. Got it for $500.
The car is granny spec gl edition. The engine ran fine when i did drive it, but the headgasket does need changing as it has a oil leak. The car has done 280,000k's, but was serviced just before i bought it. Its relatively rust free, only the spare tyre well and the right hand rear 1/4 have significant rust.
So far all i have done is completely stripped the car, ready for my attempt at some body work. A BIG THANKYOU to thedevilshands, who gave me a massive hand to get the engine out.
Plans are for a daily, and a relatively cheap one as well. by that i mean im only 19, and plan on going to uni next year. So i dont want to put an sr or anything like that in for the petrol costs, but mostly for the huge jump in insurance costs. Also bought it so that i could learn about cars. As Present, dont really know that much haha.
I Plan on reconditioning the engine myself, more for my own education than anything. Other than that the only other engine upgrades i plan is a pair of 40mm dellorto carbs that i picked up on ebay, and extractors and a new exhaust. Oh and a 5 speed manual gearbox.
Aesthetically i plan on painting the thing orange, and if i can get a hold of a cheap set of rims, throw them on aswell. Also throwing in a set of king springs.
Interior i plan on attempting to reupholster the seats, black with orange instets. New Carpet, headliner, and a speaker setup. And installing a gx tacho instead of the clock in the gl.
So yea
big plans, we will see what happens.
