Oh that's the best way to hold a car together =P

much like my rx7, the PO must have really believed in gravity since that was pretty much all that was holding the engine in

Painted (half) my wheels, having trouble deciding which style I like better though.

They both have merits... What about one of each on each side..... Jokin.....
Post some more pics a bit more square on for another view. Bit congested at that angle or is that my bourbon eyes.

black centre/white outer looks good to me.

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Mon Oct 28, 2013 11:02 pm

I honestly think both look good.... maybe think about it for a day or two and try and see which style grows on you.

either way, both look good.

The white centre with black lip is hot.

Had an awesome weekend! With a little bit of loving from a D1 machine

Got heaps of video to go through and so much to do this week before friday when I have a Drift day at Hampton.

Heres a short one Ash took, I straight lined a little to try keep up...

Also if anyone wants some interior pieces, I am about to strip mine of everything except Dash and steering wheel. Both leather seats are in good condition too with speakers in them.

wow so you are getting all serious about converting it to a track hack now. Getting harnesses and everything?
Going to keep driving it down or getting a tow car?

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 5:53 pm

Buying a Tow car, Cage is first then harnesses. No more driving on the road!

I always knew the first crash was going to push me over the edge between daily and D1 car, slightly sad but happy too. Need to start selling to fund it though so everything in the interior bar Floor mats, my seat, dash and steering wheel. Also got some other stuff to sell.

siren676 · Post by **siren676** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 6:00 pm

Sounds good man, all it took was some damage from a D1 car to turn yours into one

Will you be doing the project entirely self funded or will you do something similar to Danny George and do a community build?

If I had the balls to have a hybrid tan/black interior I'd buy your discarded bits

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 10:42 pm

Haha do it Joel!

Dan it depends on how much I get from seelling the other bits

great photos Furai, but I can't help but imagine how much better those pics would be if your car had googly eyes.

BRM · Post by **BRM** » Mon Nov 04, 2013 6:07 pm
