AE71 Haggard Wagon - Moonlight Garage's parts/tyre car ( R.I.P 1984 - 2012 - Gone Too Soon )

I am still un-deceided if I will be running these wheels. They need spacers at the front, to clear the coilovers. With the Hopper stopper front kit, I cant run wheels with any more + offest than 0....... Buy hey, anything more than +0 doesn't deserve to be on the car ...

[sundee]

Was going to say that, needs more track up front.
I reckon the Grids look good.

Ok, getting real close now... I have a torn tendon in my left arm, so it's making this really hard... Pretty much only have use of one arm. I persist, and haven't given up spirit .............

Over the last 2 days, I made the actuator bracket, mounted intercooler and most piping (gotta buy another bend tomorrow), painted eyelids, added more to my homemade lip/front , filled engine with oil (Royal Purple), finished off all the gauges (Tacho, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, boost)


It's 2am, and calling it a day.... Here are pics... Everyone likes pics.......

Where did ya end up getting intercooler?fit good?

[maxhag]

The SPIRIT lives on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finished off the cooler piping today, which brought me to the point of trying to attempt start it for the first time....

Fucking ace'd it...... Started FIRST GO, only after a couple of cranks! Bit loud (no exhaust, dump pipe only), but runs well still......

I dig Penrite oils

[maxhag]

Yeah, I use Penrite for everything except engine oil in my race cars..... I have expensive taste when it comes to engine oil.....

[sundee]

I run Penrite in all my cars everywhere oil or fluid goes.
Can't go wrong I reckon
