    The car comes along nicely.

    Wheels fit perfact, orange hood pulls it of for me.

    But you should repaint the front bumper or go bumperless...

    Pics are great as well.

    Some photos from last nights car wash, cruise and car park life.

    Photo with one of my mates KE70. Very straight KE70.


    Third time Zelda has been washed since I took ownership of it.


    Nice car park photo. Everyone needs a good one.


    Got quite a bit done today as well.
    Got what was needed for the dash, just need some expandable foam and a lot of hours.
    Pulled apart my previous crank case, in very good condition. Just need to tunnel bore it and then bore out to necessary size for upgraded pistons.

    All in due time.

    damnit, people suck. I had a similar thing happen to an old civic of mine which I had just repainted. It actually got stolen and then parked in a party neighborhood and some drunk idiot walked on it and dented the hood pretty badly. Oh well, at least I got the car back. Nice progress!
    I (knocking on wood like crazy right now) have been lucky enough to avoid such misfortune so far, but if this ever happened to me, there would be murder. Why people would destroy a stranger's pride and joy is beyond me, and that kind of person just doesn't deserve to live. Plain and simple.

    I agree, it'd look a lot better if it was leveled out. Good progress though!

    Rears cleared everything fine.
    No need to trim anything, or even flip the spring plate bolts around.

    Brakes will definitely be getting some upgraded calipers in the coming weeks.
    Now focusing on the other body and building up an engine.

    Meanwhile, froth session.


    Going out with mates tonight for a car wash session, will hopefully get some sweet photos tonight and will upload them.
    In all honesty, I think the rear needs to come down a bit to match the front. I like where the front sits (albeit causing a bit of scraping), but I like it quite a bit.

    Final wheel specs.

    Rear wheels are going on tonight. Will post photos as soon as they are done.

    Hopefully will get everything fitting nicely, have to modify some stuff but should get them within the guards. Then measure up for some spacers for the front and rear.

    If I could get down lower I would, but I'd need smaller tires with a lot of stretch so that my guards didn't rub at the front. I already have rubbing when turning, so I get the nice smell of burnt rubber every now and then.

    Once the rear is lowered a tiny bit to get the front and rear even, I'll measure up for some spacers and we'll get the wheels poking out a little bit.

    Cannot just yet, the rear wheels aren't on and she looks very incomplete at the moment.
    I guess I could grab one in the morning quickly.

    Thanks! Who would have thought early brake drums could be reused

    Here we go, wheel pictures.

    Driver's side. As you can see, the lip of the guard was actually lined with bog, therefore when rolling the guards we cracked it off. Wonderful!


    Passenger's side. Same on this side too, there was bog lining the guard's lip and when we rolled it, cracks formed.


    Never heard of someone having to roll their guards to fit wheels, but we did. We also had to modify the brake hose bracket to make sure it didn't cut up the tire.
    But, we have full lock both sides without any rubbing until it hits the sway bar.

    If this is gonna be the final style overall it'll be a bomb.
    Thanks mate!
    Yeah, the Subaru dash conversion is going to be pretty sweet when it is all done. I'm tempted to put it in Zelda's current body but time is running out before I have to go to America.

    I'll be uploading some photos of the front fitment today. Almost on point.
