17-11-09, 06:11 GMT+10#21 4k is a bout right for a good condition mighty. i bought mine off a mate for 1200, and as you can see the body is a bit rough.
anything under 2k is usually pretty flogged, will need a bit of work.

29-01-10, 11:09 GMT+10#30 I will pay you to make me a hard top and gas struts for mine. I am dead serious
I still can't find an engine for mine either. No one has altos in stock and stuff paying over a grand for a swift engine then another grand for the gear box

29-01-10, 13:32 GMT+10#31 the steel i used for the tray top cost roughly $70, and the gas struts are off a magna at pick-a-part.
yeh the 800's are getting pretty hard to find now, if you find one take it! even if its a whole car. suzuki hatch/alto have them.
the hatch i bought for the engine/susp etc cost me 600

theres a few F series motors that came factory turbo, its just a mattor of finding the gear!
you can also use a dihatsu charade turbo/carby, they came with a factory blowthru setup.

07-04-10, 22:04 GMT+10#35 few weekends ago i started the slow process of straightening the rear end. Also spent weeks sourcing some new wheels. finding 15" steel rims with 4x 114.3 stud pattern is quite difficult in the correct offset to fit these cars.
bit of guard rolling, and some flaring in the front and they fit perfectly!
comparison to a 15" rim/tyre from a commo, and the standard 12" wheels

17-05-10, 19:51 GMT+10#37 newest editions are; fender mirrors & vt side indicators. got a small steering wheel on the way, and in the next few weeks ill be modding the guards to fit a 7" wide rim with stretched 165's.

Also, current power output from a few weeks ago. sure beats the standard 19kw at the fly standard.

17-05-10, 22:49 GMT+10#38 that is so cool, is the new stretched 7.5s gonna sit flush or just out of the guards? Man this thing would look insane with fitment.

18-05-10, 06:55 GMT+10#39 well i have no room on the inside, the current rims are 5.5, so the new rims are going to be sticking out that extra 2". ill be flaring the guards enough to cover both tyre/rim though.
never seen it done to one of these before, so should be interesting haha
