Ok, so i have been driving around in a less than perfect car for a long time now. I finally have done something about it and taken to opportunity to upgrade as well. Let me know what you think.

The damage;

somebody reverse parked behind me and scraped the rear bumper. Very impressed that they left a note and paid money the next week for it. :) There are some good people left in the world.

I couldn't drive stick for a week due to leg injury so i borrowed parents auto and they had the line. Mum goes down to supermarket, one with those concrete tyre stoppers. oops! Dad tells me, " yeah i was driving the car and there was this weird scraping sound but then it went away". goodbye front bar!

So after a lot of time, i got my act together and booked the car in to Camerons Body works. I decided to also get rid of my coles shopping trolley wing (and fix the rust that had started to creep into the bootlid) and get sideskirts and pods.

Got a quote that i was extremely happy with and gave it to him for a week.

Got it back yesterday and was very happy with the result. Paint match must have been hard ( i do not have code) but they got pretty close. There was an incident with some inner front wheel well guards not being secured but that was easy to sort out. I would recommend Camerons Body works to anyone out there needing some work. Knowledge is good, communication is good, service is good.

The end result.

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
