Slowdown mate, still got abit to do yet

went for a roadtrip and a camp at trial bay with the fambam, beautifull place .
$50 a night for a great wind protected spot overlooking the beach. Excellent restaurant 3minute walk away.

took a couple shots to remember before the new fenders go on (=

Can't wait to get these on !

Thinking it would be a good idea to start listing the work done to my car since I've had it, in this section, for my own sake and because I'm rather bored tonight.
First pic is of the day I brought it home.
It is my first car I have ever done anything to and worked on myself.
(before the fto i Bought a commodore on 20"s with a loud zorst system and a sub, thought it was sick and fast and complete) but started to wake up to myself.
I'd like to be able to turn it into an insanely fast street car, but can't afford to do it right. I run a floor sealing business and have contracts with 36 Coles and liquor lands on the coast and still struggling to keep things together but I plan to be on top someday and hopefully then.....racecar
But for now, just basic fun mods to educate me in the world of automobiles

So far: (in no order)
Dressed up the engine bay
Changed and painted jdmstamped wheels
Strut braces, front and back- cusco and nolathane
Japspeed 2.5" catback exhaust
Double din stereo- Alpine
Mono block amp-fusion
Capacitor
Slim 12"sub- pioneer
5way 6x9"s- pioneer
Jvc in the doors.
Re foamed the back seats
White dials
Aero wipers
Carbon wrapped bits
25% window tint
H.I.D low beam headlights
L.E.D strips on the front bar
Tinted taillights
Custom cut prefacelift front bar
Low king springs
Kyb shock absorbers
Gaskets
Green stuff brake pads
Slotted brake disks
Modified air intake piping and pod filter
Samco radiator and Ps silicon hoses
Polypro bushes everywhere.
Semi slick tyres
kaze fenders.
That's about All I can think of for now ..



I still plan on a full silver respray but only after I have all the panels right.
Going to de key the boot and fix a few dents and stone chips soon.
Need to install the extractors :/
Finish off fitting fenders and aligning shieet
Looking for a bonnet that's not too over the top, there's not much to choose from and nothing I really really like. The AB one from carmate isn't too bad.
Bigger sway bars
Change the brake lines
Find and install a LSD
Customize the exhaust system and rear bar to having smaller twin pipes on both sides coming from the one muffler
And lately been looking for new rims, lighter and most likely 18"s then rolling the guards. Definitely sticking with black ones, either metallic or a shadow chrome.
Over time I'm going to slowly buy things to get ready for a 6a13 engine conversion. Basically have the car strong enough to handle something extra and have all the old replaced with new like mounts and all bearings etc. but that's a long way off I think...

Somemore

When's the manual conversion?

thanks man
Haha didn't even know the fto had a brake light on the roof untill recently

wooow looking incredible. carbon fiber looks great!

Both fenders on.
Not properly aligned, but not hitting doors or bonnet, so good enough for now.
Silver looks way out in the photo, but in person it's hard to notice.

looking good mate

battery relocated

Nice!
How much did that set you back?
Which gauge and length cable did you use?

Yay for bombarding with questions!

Where's the fuse near the battery?
