Hoarder In The Court!

I never ended up posting any pictures of my S12 which was sold earlier this year so I thought I'd take a dump now.

So after having the S12 for a while and gathering bits and pieces I sold the Touring



This is how I got the old girl



First mod was lazy





Picked up a set of these <3



Over the time after buying the car and selling the BMW I was gathering

Wheel from some 4x4



and this shifter I hacked up using mountain bike handle bars



Winter came



Got some mint fishnets which I've always wanted, also never used



Pulled the oem air intake and put a filter in



Scored these Wolfrace Slots and start refurbing only to find the first couple were the best and the pitting was just unbearable doing it by hand so I sold them



At this point I had already found some lowering springs for the car but decided I wanted to get decent coils that would really get the car to where I wanted it, which was on the ground. So after measuring over and over I talked to Jesus and he blessed me with a set of these S13 badboys mixed with some other parts from murica.



Just wanted to say the service I recieved couldn't be faulted and the coils were amazing. Jesus is lord.

So then it was search time for the S13/S14 parts needed to convert to use the fuckers. I picked these things up.



I then found the brakes were having a few clearance issues on my 14's, mainly on the back of the wheel centres.



I knew spacers wouldn't be an option due to the longer S13 LCA's and my calculations for where the wheel would sit soo after some massaging...



With all the parts hanging around and more to come I realised my "garage" needed a clean up.





..tbc

Love s12's!

Awesome. A clean s12 is a rare site. Makes me miss mine. Also awhile back I think you asked for a photo with the fenders. I found one but they are not finished in it. Sold the car before I got a chance to finish them.

Then I finished polishing up the Starsharks and up put paper all over the back closet, paint booth!



They came out like this





Then we moved house



All the crap in the outside storage cupboard finally had somewhere to go



Cleaned enough



So the missus went away for a week and I took the oportunity to take over our lounge with all my spare wheels, parts and greasy stuff so I could get the car into my new shoe box.

After finally getting everything off and fresh things back on I started to test fit wheels to see if my calcs were right. Yep.

[Anonymoose]

Cheers Montgomery! I was gutted when you stopped posting up about that

...So I had a problem. Not wanting to run a thinner tyre size because I planned to widen the wheels in the future and worked out these would be perfect on there I got to work with a roller. I worked on it slowly, trying to keep the arch lip as vertical as possible I think I did well.



and then



The front fitment of upgraded parts gave me so much shit I was happy, after re-arranging the rear shocks for the car, to find only a massage was needed.



Then it was out



My boy doing work



Next day drive time!

[Anonymoose]

Started driving it to work to see what needed to be done...brakes was one thing that never really worked well :/ But it felt nice and was lower



Got my front lip back on



Threw the wheels on and lowered it some more







Did some more of this



Tried to take some pictures but my potatoe didn't want to play

[JC.]

Oh ma glob. Seriously dude this is beyond awesome!

[Anonymoose]

Tried again





My little helper again



More night shot efforts but potatoe





Took the plate off and added a rear spoiler







I planned to polish the rear wheels so just rushed the black lip thing and it suffered but I still liked it

[motocaddy]

So this car is already sold? I think I might have a case of blue balls

[Anonymoose]

Yeah sadly. I lacked the space, money and motivation at the end so it had to go

Closed circuit action coming up
