This car was bought at the age of 17, and was used as a daily driver for about 2 and a half years. During this time it was resprayed in its original colour being burgundy, but added silver bumpers and black trim. I installed a calais front while i was at it. A set of Vt clubbys made their way on to the car along with a 2 n half inch exhaust and 2 n half inch lowered king springs, monroe gas shockers and adjustable pannard bar. This was my chapel cruiser til i got bored with it. The car has been off the road now for the past 18 months on and off so here is a list of things that have happened: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good mate, and sounds like shes getting a huge amount of work done -

the final decision was made on rims, wasn't a hard choice, heres what i now own also the engine block and accesories were picked up from berryman engines, who does plenty of work for HRT and PERKINS racing which im happy with Some people may laugh but heres some of the words used when he described everything to me shotpeined, honed, bored, linished, heat treated, acid dipped, toughened, Not sure what a couple of these things are...... basically did the works, cant wait til its put together in the next week or so cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you boutght them off here...how much? sounds like your engine had the works, did they throw some forgies in there too? good work mate!

was going to go the forgies but the engine builder recommended that i use a different piston thats teflon coated and something else that i cant remember. He said that it was the same thing, just a strong and i wont get that rattle when i start up every time Also he stated that forgies were really so if the car was detonating the pistons wont break, but at the same time u should have the engine tuned properly and u dont want to be driving an engine thats detonating in the first place. All this came from an engine builder who does work for ford holden HRT and Perkins racing, made sense to me As for the wheels i paid $3100, they had not bad tyres on the back, the fronts really are border line as the insides are worn, but im installing the coil over front suspension soon so i should get plenty of wear out of them hopefully before the cops catch on Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lookn good chris.

Yeah looks good, i'd go to the effort of painting the hubs, anything you can see behind the rims, under the guards with some underbody paint, just get stuff black and silver and shiny.. so when you look at the rims you see it awesomely clean, not rusty and yeah..Little effort and it makes it look like you've put in the hard yards Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeh the brakes are brand new and will be painted etc when they go on cheers

Chris looking good dude Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
