Hi guys, havnt really posted here but thought i'd show you the progress of my car. I'll be copying and pasting it from another forum so the dates and progress might seem very fast but it really hasnt been lol. Hope you guys enjoy it!
---------------
So i picked up a new 'old' car. Ive always wanted one of these and could never find one in running condition or even with rego (scared about blue slip lol).
When i had my E30, i realised that a guy down the road had purchased one of these cars not long after and ever since then, every time i drive past it im always like damnnnn i want one!
So after looking at a few cars, trying to find another project car and then getting cut down..they all kept selling before i could even have a look at it.
Three days ago i was over getting cut and considered walking down the road and knock on the door of the owner of the car and ask if he wanted to sell..but i decided to just do a quick check on carsales and to my surprise, there was one for sale! running with rego so i was soo excited. I messaged the guy straight away and organised to look at it after uni (8pm)..and luckily enough he was happy to meet.
So went to check it out, everything works, everything is there. Only downfall is the paintjob which i didnt care about at all since i'll eventually respray it myself
So i left a deposit and picked it up the next day. So here is my 2002! the day i picked it up
So there it is! its old, its double my age plus a couple years!
The good thing is that everything works and that it already has a 5 speed conversion on it as oppose to the original 4 speed. It also has a weber throttle body to give it some oomph.
The bad thing is the paint is old and isnt the best..also the front seats were replaced with some random ones which i dont even know where its from. But thats okay, i'll eventually swap them for Recaros..
Its going to be a long and slow progress but hopefully it'll be somewhat clean and look something like this
So yeah! there it is
