Good ol' Hotwires hey. They're alloy aren't they? Needs polished lip!

Looks great.

Had to remove rear sway bar. Didn't realise when I lowered it that the sway bar was hard against the diesel inlet pipe (where u fill it)and cracked it. Only realized when car was parked on an angle and it left a big puddle of diesel.

adjusted exhaust again as it moves after a week or so... need a flange instead of a clamp...

Also fitted my Hood Lifts.. works a treat Just need to oil them up or just open bonnet 100+ times lol

ignition wiring setup fixed, timing was WAY out, fixed brakes..

bottom line is.... the car i bought in march that was sitting on flat tyres in long grass.. is now running on 15's and ready to get sorted with rego

Good to hear of progress Josh. I'll assume it's mythical though because I'm not seeing any pictures...

From my car's thread:

Fixed the odometer today.

Removed Bezel



Speedo out...


...exposing this little bastard on the right hand side (the odometer drive cog)




I drilled out the center of the cog the tiniest little bit and glued it back on.
(it's because it's pressed on from factory that it cracks)




Reassembled and cleaned






All done.




Needless to say, I cleaned absolutely everything I could as I went along.

Tested it. It works.

didn't technically 'fix' anything, but I cleaned out the interior today. Carpet is pretty shonky, might have to look up a new one. Also discovered an exhaust leak, luckily in the rear part of the system.

on the plus side, my interior is alot cleaner and I made $7.20.

Nothing beats making money back from the PO.

cut the second tailpipe off, re-welded it having welded a bit of metal pipe over the hole from the main shaft (so it's now a dummy pipe). cleaned the chrome tips and put them on. bled all four brakes, and went for a quick blat around the block
