With the latest addition I mentioned the other day, my new rear spoiler, I am left with only a replica 110GT-R grille to get. My modified standard grille makes do for the time being but as with the previous rear spoiler, the differences between the actual look and something “close” are quite large. Given I [...]
So, I finally got around to getting the replacement boot/ducktail spoiler for my C110 from Yahoo! Auctions Japan (cheers Ewan! (http://www.hayatonka.com/)), not long before finding out that I need to get a new job. Probably for the better in that who the hell knows when I would have been able to afford it if [...]
The best stuff always seems to pop up when you’ve got no way of getting it. Example, these two auctions finish tonight and are the EXACT wheels I’m after for the C110. Ahh well. One day… -Michael
So after getting the gasket set earlier that day, I was motivated to at least do something on the 110. That thing was slapping the Leopard L28 into the engine bay so I could check clearances for the headers. Being they were from a Z, it’s a known issue for them to foul on at [...]
So, I finished paying for the two engines I got from the guy I bought the H230 on Friday past, I then got a call in the weekend from the chap saying he had one more thing to give me that he found when he was cleaning out the garage; Obviously it’s a gasket set, [...]
I went and visited my panel beater chap today. I had left my spare rear panel there and decided to go pick it up and have a yarn. Thankfully he still had it sitting aside, despite one of his workers trying to throw it out at one point. So after a bit of a natter [...]
This weekend saw more work on the 110, (oddly enough, it’s my obsession at the moment and I think it has to be exactly that in order for it to get a wriggle on). First up, after taking the advice from Craig (Vegie) in his comments and using Turpentine to remove the sound deadening residue [...]
Got a little more done today, quite happy with how easy this stuff is to chip off. I assume there’s a solvent that can be used for tidying up the residual crap? If anyone has an idea, let me know. Keen to get the solid floor sparkling. I love that the previous owner left the [...]
More done today. I started with this front end; You can see residual over-spray from many effort as well as the surface rust from the chassis section that sits behind the front apron. Thankfully it’s only that and the structure of the car is in very good shape as far as those sections are concerned. [...]
C. I got a little bit more paint stripping done, this time on the front apron, which as to be expected was riddled with bog also. However, I neglected to take any photos of it. Instead after I finished with that I decided it was time to mark out where the flares sit and then [...]
