Soooo...i know its been a while but i thought it was time for an update.
The ss has had the brake upgrade done, i did have to replace the fuel pump,electric mirrors and find a way to temporarily fix the rear roof trim up so all that was done then the car was taken down to a local inspection center to which it "passed" only for me to be told....that the car is registered on the stolen vehicles list...what a joy that was to hear.
so for the next hour i was frantically taking everything i had myself put on the car. (wheels, high flow airbox, genuine group a steering wheel, my stereo head unit)
i even considered swapping the leather interior out and putting dads in it
i then got a phone call from my dad 2 hours later saying that they had called me and it was all cleared up and that i need to go collect the paper...so for the next hour i put everything back on the car
went and got my rego papers and rego'd the car...
story behind that is...before the guy's son i bought the car off had owned the car it was his friends who had it in with the cops so they reported his car as a stolen vehicle so that every time they saw him they would pull him over and go over the whole car.....aaaand before that it was a drug runners car which used to leave cops for dead in 2007 apparently unfortunately does not have the same engine as that anymore lol. that engine was built by southside engine center as there are stickers all over the engine bay from it.
BUT for now, im accumulating parts to rebuild the back end, as its been lowered without and adjustable panhard rod, the shocks in it are standard and not lowered ones and the top trailing arms are bent. it's also missing its lsd which id like to replace. hopefully will do this soon as the diff doesnt line up properly so i dont have much room left on the left side between guard and wheel and there's no way im going to be fitting my simmons under them.
Plans for her are a t56 and turbo 304 running around 9 lbs simple single turbo setup with a TO4Z which should get me around 350 rwhp and a nice 12 second pass which is plenty for me .
Ill post up some pics after i give her a proper wash, cut and polish so you can all see her with the plates on
