More stuff has happened/ arrived




If I'm lucky when I go today the bottom will have been painted and I will be able to update again.
Time will tell.

Small update:
Bought some seat rails and whitelines.
Thats all thats happened haha!

Still waiting for the paint to be finished and suspension bits from ajps.

Only major things left to buy that I can think of are:
Bucket seats ~$800
Exhaust ~$1000
Reg and roady ~$700
Carpet ~$200
Wheels & Tires (5) ~$1500

So $4200 left. Revised approximate time of completion: 5th April. Maybe a week sooner :p

God I can't wait. For all the crap that been happening lately I really hope this shit just goes smoothly from now!

Jan speed exhaust for sale right now, heard good things

[burcoty]

Exhaust will be custom. Tucked up high so I can lower it as much as possible legally.
Thanks for the offer though

Another small update...
Still waiting on paint and ajps.
New charcoal carpet purchased.
Wheels and tyres purchased, tyres should arrive early next week but rims arrived on Wednesday ^_^


Hopefully I don't have to wait too much longer. Time will tell.

Good progress man! But boy oh boy that is one filthy dirty panel shop hahaha

Sooo.... kinda a dead thread revival with this lol....

I had semi gave up on this project due to losing my job and the many issues/ hiccups that got in the way. motivation was zero and as such it has sat in my back yard for the last coupla years like this:


I have however just bought a new one with a nice little setup installed:



So, here's the new plan...
Take the best of everything and install them on my new baby, get rwc and rego and just enjoy her!
The list off the top of my head so far is;
Get the rear fenders blended
Get a pair to the recaro
get her tuned
swap in my brand new shockworks, put the set in her into the other one
swap over the front ends and hatches (mines had the lock shaved)
new ally radiator to go in
power steering rack and pump
w55 with samq adapter and custom tail shaft to be installed. 3puk soft button clutch to suit.
disk to disk kouki t series lsd
reco brake master with steel insert
braided lines all 'round
new windscreen
any bushes that need replacing with new urethane compliments of ajps
rear seat re-trimmed
decent sound system installed
samq rwd thermostat and heating system re-installed. (fan, heater core and piping not there)
ecu location neatened (currently affixed to rear of glovebox)
Headlights modified (i have some ideas to modernize the originals)
some compact floodlights to be sourced and installed for night driving

The current inverted panda 86;
put back into the paint shop, have a small amount of rust removed and plated then re-sprayed white with the levin front end installed
20 valve sivertop running a microtech, individial coils and other samq bits will be installed and the car will be re-assembled along with all the remaining goodies to the best condition possible with the parts I have available.
I will then advertise and sell it for a reasonable price so that i may recoup some of the expense my new baby is racking up :p

Anyhow, that's all i have time to write for now, stay tuned for the many updates in the coming weeks!

P.s I will eventually respray the new baby in the inverted panda scheme also, i think it looks amazing and as far as i'm aware i'm the only person with it.
