looks mint mate, great job

thanks guys, didnt get any pics yesterday was to lazy lol yeah i got a full outer respray except for the rear bar and side skirts/moulds. and as for price.... for the repray and to get the window taken out, rust repaired, new window,new seal, spots welded up where old seal popped into, few little rust spots around the place fixed. just over $1g... keep in mind that i am very good mates with the owners younger brother and pretty good mates with him to. ---------- Post added 27-06-10 at 11:45 ---------- **** pics but all i can be bothered taking lol im hung over as ****. i need a rear drivers side bumper mold end bit so i can put that missing piece back on. also still needs a good clean. just put some new exhaust hangers on and new wiper blades, both needed doing badly. hopefully be able to afford to clear defect but rego is due on my rolla and have few bills to. might have to wait another week.[COLOR="Silver"] Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks awesome, hopefully nothing else goes wrong for you now

Thats come up an absolute treat. Silverslate is easily one of the best factory colour options

thanks guys Well i pulled the whole dash apart and fixed my heater controls and replaced globes in the heater panel and ciggy light. also hooked up my boot release and glove box light as i forgot to when i changed the interiors over. Its almost all back together, just need to put speaker covers on, and black under dash parts. Haven't done much else as its been terrible weather, non stop rain.... Will be buying new bonnet release cable this week as mine decided to break... one thing after another lol. then will be hunting speed o cable, right angle adapter and speed o drive. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

far out man. this has been an insane read. you could almost make a movie out of it haha. you keep getting so close and then something goes wrong. and it seems like you have more time and money on your hands than anyone i know! its unreal though mate. i love this car. the attention to detail is amazing. great work buddy. keep it up.

Few minor updates nothing major yet, new bonnet cable in, front grill realigned as was very crooked from panel beaters. started changing over some of silicon joiners as the orange ones that are on there now are really thin and I dont trust them. Tried fitting power steering pump that I got off the donor car and it has different positioned outlet so cant use it lol, didn't know there was different pump but guess there is. Car is booked in for inspection at 3.10pm on Thursday 22nd of this month, that was the earliest I could get in. So not to bad, not this Thursday, but the following. Still need to replace no:1 injector as it decided to start leaking.

hows it going man, any news

yeah bad news as usual lol. car didnt make it to inspection. changed leaking injector, put car back together and started running really rich, puffing black smoke out the exhaust, and idling like ****. trying mucking around with a few things, changing to another injector and still no difference. so pulled it apart to try find the problem. injector have been tested and came back all good. put new set of plugs in others were way fouled.. gonna try new coolant temp sensor, possibly O2 sensor, have a spare air flow meter to try and few other bits and pieces. will get there in the end just a bit of a pain. oh well im used to it now lol

god what a nightmare. it will be well worth it though when you finally get her rego'd

lol yeah tell me about it man, i am seriously starting to think it just does not want to see the rd

the silverslate twins are just chillin. mines still not rego'd either. good ol tax man takin his time lol. i've only had my car 2 weeks though hahaha you've been trying for rego for a lot friggin longer. hope theres good news to come.

im going to paint my house silver slate, great effen calais' lads!

how you going with this mate??

havnt done anything in awhile, got a new toy crf450x. But its still running like ****, changed almost everything i can think of. am currently on holidays but when im back at work gonna take it in and try fix it. did acquire the mrs set of VE SSV 19's look choice. ill post up a pick in a few days. It will see the rd one day, just lost most my enthusiasm towards it as im sure most could imagine that have had as much trouble as i have.

Good to see this come as far as it has so far, I completely lost motivation for mine for about a year haha only just started getting back into it and is finally almost ready to drive within the next few weeks, fingers crossed. Respray looks insane, this thing will be a head turner for sure once on the road. So is that cooler legal the way it sits now?

yeah mate cooler is 100% legal. ---------- Post added 27-08-10 at 23:03 ----------
