RUFUS

So this Rufus, Rufus the drift wombat.

Hes rusty, bent, and going to get thrashed.

Plans are to replace the bent lower rad support, fix the rust in the back, hide the rest, and fit a somewhat indestructable drivetrain. Then Im going to rape it, and probably bemd it some more.

[Gunner]

Hey clay, maybe you should put that crack pipe down.

[lolwat]

you say crack pipe, more like a bent fork

[AJPS]

lock thread or update

[ke_70]

can't make build threads on imaginary cars/wombats

[Matt]

Like the aej86 one?

[Gunner]

Starting to wish the ej86 was imaginary, but this one isn't

[maxhag]

Yes, yes he can..... :P

[Gunner]

Yeah atleast jojo has my back.

This is already entered for raleigh, though I intend to be track marshall again, and itll probably have a 4ac thats trying to turn a w box and f diff, but rufus and I will try lol

[maxhag]

At least you get to drift tha wom on your exclusive 15 min solo track time at the end..... (Track marshells should deserve this IMO...)

Trust me, this will be a highlight.... I will be waiting all weekend for it :P

[Gunner]

Lol ill go hard if youre gonna help me put it back together after the raping of raleigh

[Gunner]

Cause I do intend on driving home lmao

[maxhag]

bullshit, you will go hard anyway without my help, you've proved that :P

[maxhag]

Of course I will help ya...

[Gunner]

Nah, I wouldnt do that :unseen:

As much as I hope it doesnt rain, for those last few minutes, I pray that does, but only then.

Fucking rust.

[lolwat]

7 rib, smallport crank, rods, pistons

build a 4a, there all yours

[Matt]

Providing my cressy is running without issues... I should be able to tow you up there / back....

[Rice86]

just get it running and under 90db...cause rust is still allowed on the track!

If drift missile cars can still do it after a REAL beat down, pretty sure this will be sweet with running gear

[joeschmo_57]

So no engine conversion?

[Gunner]

itll get a 20v, just a matter of time vs $$$. Raleigh 3, it will be there with some hp though lol.

Thanks for the offer matt, but tow the pig up, the pig needs to be there.

New rad support will go in tomorrow morning, and if I can brave the heat the rust in the boot will be sorted to, as for the rest of it, fibre filler, fish oil and side skirts hahaha, just nwed ro decide on gold or bronze for the paint

Will do a big pic dump tomorrow too, got near on 100 photos already haha.

[maxhag]

This is the standard "bronze" with metallic gold added..... Is good n that...

[Gunner]

Thoughts on the black headlights?

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/502090.jpg

[Gunner]

First post updatwd a little

[maxhag]

Thats a negative on the black headlight inners....

[maxhag]

let me know if I can help at all.....

[Gunner]

Will do man, im undecided about the lights, nothing I cant change anyway.

Getting too hot to use fillers/paint, was too wet this morning, cant fucking win lol

[Vance]

pull the 20v from the 92, acquire t50, weld s series and leave it at that

[Gunner]

I dont want to daily this, so the 92, has to run till I get a ute. pl us I wouldnt spend the money on the gbox and diff if I didnt have a reason for it.

[Gunner]

Progress has been a bit slow, but getting there kinda, well nit really, but heres some pics.

As you can tell ive given up trying to be neat, as long as its not full of holes im happy, where as comparedto the other car, where i am forever doubting whether its enough, this I just dont give afuck, its a nice change. Though im having a bit of dilemma as to whether i should pay to get the front end straightened, or just hopei can make is handle kinda maybe sorta properly.

[johl]

spend the money on adjustable front lca's/castor rods etc. problem fixed?

[ke_70]

she'll be right, just straighten it by hand best you can, plate/brace it alittle. then just adjust it out with adjustble suspension

[Matt]

Coming along nicely....

[Gunner]

Yeah hes getting there slowly, if this weather would settle I could finish it. Need get a piece folded this week sometime, and boot will be done. When I decide whats happening in the front, rad support will go in, then primer, then clear hahahaha, we dont need colour on this one.

[maxhag]

Nice work bruv...........

[Gunner]

Aw fanks bruva, if it done in time its yours for raleigh

[maxhag]

I got no cars now..... :(

[maxhag]

Aw fanks bruva, if it done in time its yours for raleigh

Can we put the motor from the wagon in Rufus? :P :P :P

[Gunner]

Definately... You can drive rufus at raleigh, im happy just to have my one hour session at the end of it all, so someone will have to drive it forthe rest of the time.

[maxhag]

I volenteer!

[maxhag]

Your one hour session will be mad with this motor.... :P

[Gunner]

Hahaha we will sort something out for sure dude, send me some details on fb

[Gunner]

But we will change the turbulizer, no black magic turbo is going in rufus.

[Gunner]

in my usual fashion, im being pretty lazy with this, but lets blame it on weather, and work. everything is sorted apart from the diff and hatch. so its just me needing to get my money in order, pretty good at blowing 3k in a week lol.

anyway down to two colour choices. metal etch green, or primer grey. opinions? heres a pick of the green.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/3/5/502903.jpg
