And im just wanting it done and on the road asap really, the shell still has an MOT so no point messing about Plus i want to be back in a starlet again, even if its a N/a one Then i can punt the Corolla and use the money to buy the exhaust for the 85 in time for the winter and can have some mad 4paw action !!

daniel_g Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Managed to find a bit of time to get some stuff done on this N/a GT.GT brakes are onClutch is bledPAS fluid inRadiator on and system bledSet of 14" steelies on for nowIgnition timing setStandard N/a exhaust mani is offHopefully my front brake flexi hoses are on the way, ive secured a Sera 4-2-1 exhaust mani so within the next while i'll have that. Then nip over to see Dale for an exhaust and a couple other bits.Since it is running and the clutch is bled.... i took it out a quick drive up and down the street haha, with no brakes, a very poor handbrake, no exhaust whatsoever not even a manifold and no panhard rod fitted This is how the bay is atm, its all just old shit flung together to function and no more, so obviously not pretty.And beside the 85 which is still fucked and missing a few more parts haha.And lastly my drug dealer GS300 should be sold this weekend, im fed up with 17mpg now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
