My Other Ceff....

[toffy]

ok , i just bought a roller A31 to swap all the gear off my purple car onto this one because the direction of the other one pretty much doesn't need anything it has atm... Soo i picked it up today and i'm about to start the build (i have about a week to make it roadworthy , so expect a few updates) . I'm a little un decided on the exact direction i wanna go with this one , it's either going to be pearl white like it is , purple the same as my other , black or candy red-ish

[toffy]

the reason for no updates so far is because i've been getting my new daily on the road , now that's finished i can move on to this girl , first up i'll be stripping the trim out of both (inc dash) and deciding what will go best in each . pic of daily :

f*kin biiiiiiiiiiiiig setback with this thing... no quick project here

[works 510]

[NICKCEFFY]

whats happened man?

[toffy]

pulled the front guards off to swap over with the purple ones , l/h side was all good , pulled the right hand side off to find the upper rail has had a big f**koff hit (think of petes blue silvia nick) , i wonderd why the r/h door was hard to shut , i was blaming the bent guard , anyways , a couple of quick measurements later told me the upper rail (strut tower) is pushed over ~5mm and bent shit everywhere , you couldn't tell because it'd been patched up on the inside So now i gotta work out whether it's fixable or i should just send it to the crusher

[NICKCEFFY]

Ah f**ker! that sucks, though if its rego-able it might be worth looking into fixing it, surely a skyline upper would be the same and easy-ish to get a hold of.

[toffy]

yeah the lower rail is still close enough, it's mainly upper rail and firewall too , i can fix it but i don't know if it's worth it , i'd need a empty A31/C33 half cut i reckon , will see how it goes in the next couple weeks

i'll take some pics in the daylight

empty front cut $195

[toffy]

yeah i have a r32 shell , they are different , i'm onto nic_a31 for his front cut , i'm still not 100% it's enough :S . i don't care about cars that have been crashed before , at the end of the day all cars are just metal welded together , as long as the repairs are done properly , this shell has been repaired but dodgy as f**k so it'll cost thousands to get to a level that i'd be satisfied with putting it back on the road and a fair few days work which means it wouldhave been way easier to just go get the one i have complied/engineered/registered (in tas engineering is virtually a myth once your car is rego'd , popo don't look under bonnets unless your a complete ass ... actually popo dont even pull you over if your driving sensibly, no matter how ghetto your car looks) , the only problem with my purple one is it has to go over the transport and i know a couple of the transport officers really well which means if i put a car over the pits it has to be 125% perfect because they know i know better .

(in tas engineering is virtually a myth once your car is rego'd , popo don't look under bonnets unless your a complete ass ... actually popo dont even pull you over if your driving sensibly, no matter how ghetto your car looks) , the only problem with my purple one is it has to go over the transport .
