Gday guys.

Well i currently have a broken/crushed/mangled finger and am bored so i thought u would finally start a new thread on my LJ.

I last left you in the dark about 3 1/2 years ago in THIS thread.

Well in that time i have done.....Wait for it....frOck all!!!!

Anyway, i have a shitload of picks that i will try to sort into some kind of order and story.

Let us begin.

Started by pulling the faithfull old 173 out and putting my 202 together, was going to do a strait swap then go racing, untill i decided to change everything and repaint the car.

173 out
Posted Image

Front end out
Posted Image

New donk

Then i made my new fans work with my new alloy rad without actually mounting them to the radiator.

Posted Image

I have since made alloy filler panels to cover the gap between the nosecone and rad, but no picks of them.

Then i started playing with the front brakes with the intention of fitting up p76 rotors with cast iron girloc hq callipers to bring my front wheels in, but was really disappointed with the fit of the kit and would have had to remove a shitload of material from the ucas to make them work with the caliper spacers.

Good excuse to buy new rims with the correct offset to fit with hq disks....

Posted Image

Thats as many picks i can post at once so that will do for now.

Cheers

I should probably note my mangled thumb in some of these shots is a different injury to this one lol, pinky finger this time.

More.

I then fitted the HQ stubs and clearanced the ucas, and repainted the front.

Posted Image

Then i moved back yo the rear end, i wasnt happy with how the brakes were set up, i couldnt fit a hand brake and i had to run custom springs.

So i modded everything lol.
Had to nod the shocky mounts so i could put a bolt in from the back, sp i could mount the caliper on the back, amongst other things.

Posted Image

Then i could adapt commy sedan cables and run then to the front of the diff
Posted Image

All fits nicely now
Posted Image

Way more to come but thats prolly it for tonight, my hands hurting and family guy will be on soon.

Cheers.

Anthony, 15s. There dragway billets, ridiculously expensive but so purdy.

Kev, Thats one of Gregs (82911s) girdles.

Expectations....Well dreaming 12's aspirated, but prolly 13s. Will put a 100 shot on it if it holds together after a few meets, that has always been the plan.

Cheers.

You need to get this thing rolling on those wheels, its going to look great.

Cheers for the comments guys, especially the lads thinking it will actually go lol.

Jason, 9" with 31 spline mosers, doubt it lol.

AD 75, no turbo for this one yet. I built this motor before i saw the light and wanna see what it can do.

Wayne, made them. Just a bit of pipe with a slot welded to some flatbar with two holes lol.

Hayden, when i blow mine up i might nick that one lol.

I crushed my finger between some tags on two bits of casing, which is 10" heavy wall seamless steam pipe. Prolly around 70kg each. was dragging one bit over another and my pinky got in between two metal tags that come off them to bolt a top to. lost the fingernail, fractured the bone, took a massive bit of skin out and had to get 4 stitches lol. Got these mad good prescription pain killers though hehehehe.

AAAANYWAY.

Heres a pick i forgot, like this one.

Ok lets see how much more the forums will let me put up.

Now, im not entirely sure this is all in order, but beggars cant be choosers.

The DS A pillar was quiet rusty, so i had to fix that.

Posted Image

Then through the magic of never updating your thread, suddenly the car was stripped and in primer.
