well i fixed some lil issues like my wiper arms and changed the rubbers on the windshield wipers bolted everything up and wrirted everything together again =] the panelvans ready for a roadworthy well sorta stilll have to fix the rust on the bonnet but its running smooth as =] lol

well i bolted on my inner gaurds and started to work on my cluster so i ripped aqpart the dash and also i tried to check the wiring its pretty dodgy one wire i found (not sure what its for yet) was just twisted together and taped lol and its all cluttered too i managed to figure out why the cluster lights stopped and that somehow the plugs got disconected i put them back in but the tacho still doesnt work i wonder what happend. I fixed the lights but! now the fuel sender doesnt work so instead of lights and tacho its Fuel gauge and tacho =[! damn also tried to bolt the horns back on but its got a bad earth also the timing was advanced heaps like HEAPS HEAPS so i just put it back to normal for now it didnt sound right before. i still suspect a vacuum leak somewhere anyway heres some pics

i found no power to the fuel pump on reds so i started chasing wiring i rekon it has something to do with the immobilizer but i wont know till i get another sunny day

[myke90]

Glad you decided to keep this man! hey how well does the Twin Cam Cluster fit? have considered this myself but am unsure of the wiring involved and size, etc in the dash.

[stahlz_ae86]

Cool little rig, keen to see daylight pics of the cluster install.

[x_christ0n]

well i got the car like that with the twinky cluster he had to chop the ke cluster a bit and combined the two clusters also he redrilled a hole for teh trip meter reset bit i cant wait to clean it up more lol ill take some more daylight cluster pics for you guys

[x_christ0n]

so i fixed the car was just a small wiring/relay problem now that the panno is working the 86 decided to stuff up also

flat front+quadlights for the win that is all =]

[stahlz_ae86]

[x_christ0n]

heaps has happend to this car i never did get that one colour front end but i fixed my cluster got another flat front end and quadlights shipped from the phillipines slapped it all together added a horn and stuff. basically got the car 100% road legal and now it has 1 yrs rego =] was gonna use it as my daily while i redo my motor in my 86 heres how it sits

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/6/7/2/67523.jpg

my cluster was pretty rooted im using a ae82 twincam cluster the old owner bodged up the print so i modded a 4ac ae82 to fit and it works a treat. although theres no opening for the check engine light and two screws but all works okay

[declan]

been thinking about putting quads on my hightop panno lately but didn't know how it'd look, looks cool.
any more plans for this?

[x_christ0n]

im unsure yet lol I havent seen any quadlight hightop pannos so i had to do it i love quad lights

[Jacobxxx]

nooo needs panelvan tail lights!

[x_christ0n]

Lol why I like the black frames

[x_christ0n]

so decided since this was my daily i was gonna stop spending money on it and fix the sprinter Just as i said that my mate offers me jdm vented brake package front coilovers rcas and ra40 lca for 800 buckled before he even said the price needless to say my 86 has to wait a little while longer now =]
coilovers rca and brakes in =] just have to wait to get paid to get some new tie rod ends knuckles and balljoints =]
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/6/7/2/332611.jpg
i dont know if its just my car but i feel ke70s have a much smaller wheel arch im scrubbing on 14x6.5+14 with 195/60/14s while i havent had this much drama with my 86 running 15x8 0 offset 195/50/15 maybe because of the smaller wheel ratio due to the stretch ?? anyway it still scrubs with my camber tops maxed out so im probably gonna flare the guards at some point for when i put the new lca in. or at least roll them anyway

[Seventy]

This looks great now, as for scrubbing a 185/60 or 55 would help plus if you guards are untouched, then folding the standard lips will help too

[x_christ0n]

[Sprinter Freak]

how was it getting the bumper from kayparts? did they take long to get to you?

[declan]

you know i got big love for this!

[x_christ0n]

Lol thanks Declan and yeah I had to keep hassling him for three months I'm lucky I got it this other guy bought front and rear it came bent like a banana but people still swear he's good so maybe I was just unlucky

[timpy]

I love this thing! Looks soo cool :)

[KePanelVan]

Can I ask how you got onto the guy with the quads?
Awesome pano btw man, you made me lose my shit and now Im on the hunt for another one lol

[x_christ0n]

The guy with the bumper I got my quads from phillipines if I were to choose again I probably would buy my bumpers from phillipines to I got messed around for three months he made it so you can't contact him for the public to see the only way you can get in touch is email and commenting on his photos you used to be able to rage him in your own photos but he deleted that to

[Delazy]

Blokes useless...I waited 3 months also...

He told me various stories including his mother died, his house got swept away in floods and his warehouse was destroyed...

also managed to tell me he had shipped them on 3 different occasions...

I wouldn't have bought from him if I had of known they were reproduction gear (should have known given the price)

Who is the guy in the phillipines? Is that the dude on Rolla Club?

Sweet ride man!
Loving the hi roof & quads.
What is that front spoiler?
Is it a VW Golf GTi?

[KePanelVan]

Nah dont think its the guy on rollaclub, the guy on rolla club is a champ and if your thinking of getting some quads I'd get them from him.

[Panitz]

are they the standard lights that come in the quad light conversion or something else that youve got?

[Futo_gt86]

Nah dont think its the guy on rollaclub, the guy on rolla club is a champ and if your thinking of getting some quads I'd get them from him.

Nah, I got quads, i want a DX front bar and end caps, Don't care if its repro, but I refuse to use Kay Parts.
