Morning !

[turboedsloth]

The rain last night has brought all the boys to the yard. Broken diffs and clutches everywhere

[Hank Scorpio]

That's what happens when you get an extra 50 hp!

[Manne]

Just gotta finish work today and thn the work begins!

[Manne]

Aw man, Plan for tomorrow - Go to Supercheap - Get Stuff - Work on Car. I'm so excited.

[t_revz]

Don't rush into buying stuff. It's an easy trap to get excited and start buying parts, especially for the engine.

[t_revz]

But it's worth mentioning parts you plan to get to ensure you don't have to do anything twice

[t_revz]

Kits on eBay that seem too good to be true usually are. Waaayyy too many people have tried to cut corners and it's just doesn't end up being cheap in the end

[t_revz]

Soo fkn tired today. Had to slap my own face on the way to work a few times to keep my eyes open. Bit of a sleep in tomorrow

[Manne]

Oh, I'm not actually getting much. The engine is perfectly fine and doesn't need any work at the moment. I'm getting some more cleaning stuff (running low on some things), a Headlight restoration kit, Microfibre towels!, some Mesh for the front skirt (I've been told it wont pass pits without it?), some valve caps for my tires (its missing them) and a lug nut...because im missing one and it annoys me. The plan tomorrow is to shell the interior (as best as I can) and clean it out.

The car has been sitting in a commercial garage in welshpool for 6 months collecting dust both inside and out, so before I can do any real work ,I need to clean it.

[t_revz]

Good stuff, when is the first visit to the pits?

[Manne]

I haven't got a time frame in mind. I'm in no rush because I have a daily (2014 Lancer ES) and my Motorbike ( <3 ) so the skyline is purely a hobby... but, the sooner the better, I guess. I don't think it'll take too much, but it's a first for me. I have a friend coming around possibly on thursday arvo to take a look at my cluster, because my Tachometer, fuel gage and boost gage don't work. So, if every thing goes smoothly it should be ready for the pits next week, maybe.

Thinking about making a thread to document the work.

[z00key]

Shopping to get the cleaning stuff will be good, inside and out will give you an idea of what needs to be done. But like Trev said should take it over the pits it will give you vision and focus for what needs to be done.

[t_revz]

what needs to be done.

Selling for a 2 door?

[Manne]

Selling for a 2 door?

SNAP!.

4 doors are where it's at man

I know I need to take it over the pits, but there are obvious things that *need* to be done first. Once the obvious things are fixed, i'll take it over the pits and see what surprises me.

While you're on Z00key, Wanna tag along in the morning? (I'm leaving early, around 9ish)

[t_revz]

Agree to disagree.

Gee what's a late start then

[Manne]

pfft, I'll be up around 6am walking my dog, leaving at 9 because I have to drop the Wife off at work.

[Manne]

Good Morning.
