Nice nice nice! I really think you should buy an oem ducktail with red 99 lights :D

Cheers mate,

Im in two minds about a ducktail, i always have been, i think if i had one id love it, but i love it as it is so it'll probably go without lol, as the for the lights it will get 98 ones off the daily, but if some come up at the right time... :p

The worse thing about not updating this regularly, is that its a larger job to do once you do lol, ill post some up now then some more soon 👍

Allot has happened since the last update and the car is soon to be on the road. Still not where i want it to be but the rest can come in good time.

First up is the seat belt buckles. Mine were very pink and looked their age. I saw someone on here had bought new ones from Toyota for sensible money.

Upon ordering them, it turns out there are two variations which i wasent aware of. One for standard seats and one for the recaro rails. Luckily both were still available. Here are some photos of mine vs new.

Also picked up new caps for the wiper arms and some push in clips for the feonr grill.

Sold the pair of carbon cusco braces as i only had use for one becuase of the oem rear brace. So i sold up and acquired an oem front strut which i had sandblasted and powdercoated.

For those who may have noticed i changed the suspension, it was on Tein HA's but i removed the BC's from the daily to put them on this. When i first bought them i never stripped/ cleaned a greased them. So now was the ideal time.

Need to see this in person and have a proper nose, so many good bits on it! Girlfriend is a keeper too with presents like that.

Cheers mate, will be attending the cars and coffee when it starts again if your going? was definitely pleased about getting new belt buckles too!

For sure, she did take some pointing in the right direction first though lol

Fair play that's a lovely car mate, some nice bits on her too, I used Dinitrol products to underseal mine lately and cannot fault it tbh.

James

Thanks for that 👍

The whole car was done from front to back but i didnt get many photos afterwards.

And that was it, the car was ready for the road. I taxed and insured it as of the 1st of April. The first time i wouldve actually driven the car in nearly 2 years!

After my first fill up,

The first of many i suppose lol.

Some random photos in the first two days of driving it :)

After 2 days of use it became apparent the manifold had seen better days... So i replaced it with a stock replacement WEPR manifold with new genuine gaskets.BC1AD3B4-960F-4B53-9178-A36BFD7066D5_zps

No fitted photos yet, however it certainly doesnt look as it did in the photo anymore :(

Then its first show :D

The speedlines were needing tyres on the front so it was a good excuse to get someuse out of the weds.
