[Joshie_Mcslide]

cheers guys
lol,yeah kinda runs like shit atm,Idles on 3 cyl some times? and its still Auto!

But on the other hand....The Doner car runs really good!! has a w58 in it and a full 2.5 or 3" exhaust,sounds tough as fuck!
But the body roll lets it down bad! lol......Will start tomorrow!
Doing a RWC on the purple roller for the new owner...but i'll get a few hands on board and get it started!

what exactly is wrong with the donor car btw?

wanna sell it?

i mean cause like - seems funny putting a 22re from a corona into a corona

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Shhhhhhh........nah not for sale,well i suppose the shell could be once im finished with it.

Nothing really that wrong with it....Just bought it for the engine conversion,The blue body is heaps better....It's The Mrs car,she loves it! She wanted a manual conversion,I said i'd do it! Weighed up the options and thought a 22re will be a far more reliable daily than a head gasket poppin 2s! Plus it wont mind a bit of a hard time......and it's a legal no fucking around with rta and engineers,strait swap...can do it over a week by myself and I can't get defected for it....Sound fair enough? lol
might put something else in it down the track when she buys herself another car....but this is how its going down for now!

Plus...The Blue one is a one owner car before me,or one family owned anyway,Local too!

The white thing has been molestered by many!
its got wires all through it for amps and the boots deacked out with neons and led's,lol
advanti front seats that dont match,SR parts all over the place....but its a base model csi.........You can tell its been fucked with and not very well......I'd rather know that my car was %100 stock & original when i started and that iv'e fitted/checked/ajusted every part/nut/bolt myself to my standards....It's a good feeling! Only actually finished a few cars so far....I've half arsed alot! I.E,corolla.........lol
I want to finish this one how i've planned it!

Should be sweet!

[keiichi]

lol ok fair enough

[Joshie_Mcslide]

True...lol!

Nah It's good too......for ever,the mrs had always dirtied up over me always working on my cars,spending money on em etc.....It's different with this.....she payed the rego,and has been helping out with everything.....We havn't had an "our" car before!
Longchamps will be here this week!

Hahaha,I forgot my camera today!
Took Javels advise though and started with the st141...
Motor and box are out,Engine bays naked,fuel systems out,brake lines/master cyl all out(still need to do the lines to the front struts)...Looms half out,need to feed it through from inside the car.....Got too dirty today to do any interior work besides taking out the shifter.

I'll start off tomorrow with the dash,pedals etc and finish getting the loom out....Then front brake lines,struts and crossmember,etc out...then out with the 22re and 5 speed in the white car!!

I'm aiming to have it running by the weekend......see how I go,doing a rwc as well this week so might be pushing it....need some staff that work for free! hahaha
