    Default Joey's White AE71

    I purchased myself an ae71 off boostcruising (lol) about 6 months ago. Just got rego yesterday, but broke down with fuel issues on the way home (filled up the tank for the first time in who knows how many years, stirred up shit in the tank that shouldn't have been stirred up). Leaving that to the mechanic because I really can't be fucked xD.

    Semi recent pics:

    With these:



    Came with:
    - 4ac 5spd with a weber downdraft, fucked radiator
    - cut falcon springs all round
    - 3 shocks
    - 3 working brakes
    - 3 seatbelts, two of which worked
    - resprayed exterior 2pac white. ok I guess, rust repairs bad.
    - no bumpers
    - locked stock borgy*
    - cut rear arches
    - fucked taillights
    - fucked everything

    What I've done:
    - A shit ton of maintenance
    - New suspension. MA61 struts and brakes up front (coilover sleeved), falcon sway and cut king superlow springs on the rear (captive), commodore wagon rear shocks, open stock borgy*
    - Pajero mc, braided lines
    - Hotwires in 14x6
    - New tailights, wired up a dodgy reverse light set up with a relay from supercheap
    - Re-sealed the boot, did some dodgy-er rust repairs
    - Lots and lots of little things like window washer and steering boss

    Been a big job so far, and I'm still not quite at the part where it all pays off. But still a whole lot of fun and learning.

    Immediate plans is to get the fueling sorted, drive it, seal the boot lip properly as it has some leaks, and finish some bogging in the wheel wells, then drive it more.

    Future plans are e30 boot lip, some variety of black plastic front lip (FOH? idk), and when I can afford it (might be next year im poor), finish rebuilding the 4age smallport I have, and chuck it in with the weber and a 4k dizzy machined to fit. Want to to keep nice street manners and handle well, so I am a bit reluctant to put the locker back in, but also want to take it to give drifting a go, tis a dilemma.

    A few pics of build so far:







    not so SOON.

    Yup, it is haha

    Looks neat from a distance, up close the body and interior are pretty shitty looking, and the seats are stained with so may unknown liquids. Seat cover for the drivers seat so I am happy lol.
