Help! small fuel problem So I was installing the fuel pump and lines when I came across a problem. The fuel tank is missing all its lines, which I knew about, so I looked up how to replace then. Which is easy but the problem I'm having is the fact that my car was NZ build and from what I...

Nice looking car. I may message you when I need to check something on the GTS as I am currently rebuilding one and Im not sure if all the parts I have a correct.

So a fair amount has happened over the last month but not a lot of it is on the car. On a two week training exercise I was in a vehicle accident. I injured my back and shoulder. The back injury is from another vehicle accident years ago, in where one of the disc's was broken. Then once I got...

What paint did you use on those parts? they look pretty good

Engine bay painted So Ive finally painted the engine bay. just now need to clean coated it and its done. Apart from the black around the bottum. Now trying to work out how to paint under the window. any pointers? Going to take a break from painting and start working on the...

prime, sand, bog, sand, repeat. So work on the car will slow down a bit now that I've gone back to work (after 6 weeks off). But I'm aiming for about 1 hour a day on the car.

So new work over the last couple of days. Primed the complete engine bay and then sanded a lot of it off, bogging up some of the imperfections. Also painted the chassis gloss black. and under the front left wheel arch which is now ready for new under seal. Just don't look to...

Not really any at all, just a pile of **** that could be swept up.

All I used was a heat gun and a scraper. Followed by some wax and grease remover to take off what was left.

Work today Remounted the vin plate ready for painting in the next few days. just waiting for the paint to be mixed. Removed the under seal from the front left. Its now ready for sanding. 2nd coat of primer on the roof. Some of the small parts hanging in the "painting both" which is...

Only new work is that the roof is sanded and primed.

thanks mate.

Just bought some more parts: - Adjustable pan rod - S/W gas struts for the bonnet - and a set of AU fans to replace the clutch fan.

Prepped a few more parts ready to refit: front bumper mounts, accelerator pedal and front anti sway bar off the GTS, which has been replaced with a larger than factory one. With some more body prep and thats about it

Small update Only a small update this time. I have primed most of the engine bay and part of the interior. I was looking at the vin plates for both cars and they are very different. The one on the left belongs to the berlina parts car and the right belongs to the GTS that I am...

I figured that it was time for a update as a lot of work has been done since the last time. So the new body has been stripped and the engine has been removed. Had to cut the exhaust in half as when it was installed it was welded in the middle with no way of disconnecting it The engine...
