Much win here.
Love the colour.
Hey guys, thought it was about time I put up some pics of my levin... It's a 1983 ADM Sprinter.
After finding a heap of rust a few years ago behind the guards, I decided to rebuild it from the ground up. I finished painting the car over the Christmas break and am slowly putting it back together. The colour was randomly chosen from a sample book... I'll put up the specs soon, but for now I will let the pics to the talking!
This is how she looked when I purchased her many years ago. I paid $1000 for it from a guy in Sydney and he threw in a brand new $500 Pioneer amp.
The red one in the background was purchased like that!! The bonnet of the blue one was painted in house spec paint.... it took a very very long time to strip it back to bare metal!!
Stripped down:
Engine bay painted
Smallport 4age installed and running
Painted insides
Paint done... I don't want to do that again in a hurry.
Satin black bumperbars installed
Interior going in
After she is back together again, I'll get some rego then in will go all the suspension parts etc.
Much win here.
Love the colour.

thanks guys, I was really happy with how the colour turned out... esp. since it was painted in a mate's driveway
The engine bay was seam welded around the strut towers and the rails, and then covered over with a lick of bog. Looks good from far, but not that flash up close...
That red 86 was purchased as it was in the photo. I bought it for the smallport 4a, and the T series diff which turned out to be a kouki model!
Apparently the guy was trying to slide around a local industrial area. The car had an open diff, and one of the wheels gripped 1/2 way though a slide sending him into the side of a building! The thing was a huge mess.... bent the passenger side rail all the way up to the firewall! Was a shame cause the car had no rust at all....
Nice, it's coming along. Can't wait to see more pics of this.
Good work man. I really like the colour, in fact, I was thinking about painting mine a similar colour to this a few months ago. That kouki interior looks fair mint as well.
Keep us posted!
