plans are to set it up for my fiancée to learn to skid!!! so the basic mods will apply hahaha

so what you all reckon? should be a good little missile haha

[Matt]

It'll be a fun beast and I'm sure in a few months she will put you to shame in your battles

[Sprinter Freak]

looks like a good base man. With a bit of a clean up and some suspension work i reckon it will make a good skidder.

Saw this forsale and yeah it was a very good price, even just for the conversion gear. Would of bought it myself if i had the money

[Ktas]

yeh we got him down a couple hundred in price, which was good...

meant to be buying some coilovers and rear spring platform setup for this tomorrow...should help with the ghetto height hahaha

[adds]

ghetto spec...love it!!

[Ktas]

so this is the current throttle body vacuum line setup...i dont think its right...the clear line goes to a Vac guage in the cabin...dont know why it has a vac guage but oh well...

AJPS coilovers on sprinter struts and rear height adjustable spring seats and shocks...this is his old setup that just came out for the shockworks gear to go in!

[pink_18]

why do you want a pic of me? :S

[Low Style]

pics of said fiance?

There is always someone......

[willa]

Put girls name in thread title, attract massive amount of veiws.

[Ktas]

yeh im pretty certain its in the name so that she knows which thread it is...

[Ktas]

so...i will definately have to strip this whole shell down and start again...it appears the guy i bought it off was more of a fucking chudd than i thought...

this is his idea of a "good quality" fuel setup job

yeh real safe...so yeh...there is ALOT of too dodgy in this car for my liking...so complete strip and build it is...

[miko]

Yikes! Ugly! I believe I may have looked into this one too. Maybe glad I didn't.

[Ktas]

i reckon it was still worth the buy price, theres definitely enough bits in it to warrant a rebuild

rear suspension is done for now, front suspension will be going in on the weekend, then im going to adjust it as high as it goes to make it easier to work on, ill just have to play with the height till im happy with it when im done rebuilding

[miko]

Yeah sorry, I'm not trying to rain on the parade here. I have no doubt it was worth the buy price for the parts, just for me personally I don't currently have the time to put that sort of work into a keto. If I did the story would be different! Good luck with the project :)

[AJPS]

did you look at the car before laying down the folding?

[Ktas]

yeh i looked at the car before passing the fold...i saw the value in buying it for the price even if to part it out

[Ktas]

soo...started taking panels off to try and sus this "wiring", i reckon i might be able to salvage it! but its gonna take some time

[Ktas]

the awe inspiringly awesome wiring!!!

[blake.]

Do we need to answer this?

[Ktas]

not gonna happen boys, keep dreaming ;) i dont spend 10grand on a ring for everyone else to ogle her hahaha

[peter_soj]

not gonna happen boys, keep dreaming ;) i dont spend 10grand on a ring for everyone else to ogle her hahaha

Perhaps you shouldve waited until after she got some seat time sliding until you handed over the ring, maybe she would've rathered majority of that money go towards parts/car/tyres :DD :DD :DD

But then again, maybe not :(

[Ktas]

its all good, parts and such will come and go, but the ring is gonna be there for a lifetime, might aswell be a cracker of a ring!!! hahaha

[Ktas]

sooo...started having a look at the fuel system today...

nothing dodgy about having a fuel line so squashed its almost cut in half...

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/4/7/9/2/346276.jpg

[Ktas]

scratch that...not almost cut in half...as i started to lower the tank down, low and behold...fuel comes pouring out the big hole in the line...

fuck i hate the guy who "built" this car...fucking chode

[miko]

Hang in there, you still got good bits for the $$$'s!

[Ktas]

yeh thats the only thing keeping me interested in it...picking up a new fuel tank for it this afternoon from drift spares at daveys house hahaha, this car has got a fair bit from his car in it already hahaha...

[blake.]

its all good, parts and such will come and go, but the ring is gonna be there for a lifetime, might aswell be a cracker of a ring!!! hahaha
