Des Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Posted December 3, 2007 I get red on my clothes when i lean on my car, So i have stopped leaning on cars period. Quote
towe001 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Came with new front vented rotors and calipers off a Ae112 i think. Adjustable whiteline rear sway bar looks bling, Has yellow rear springs so they might be kings, Not sure but meh. Front struts might be shagged as it feels very very soft. oh well. maybe they were repainted, I used mine as a daily and it regularly sat at work on full sun. had to rebuff every 6 months. Have a look at that back left door...... its been re-painted.... by the previous owner before the previous owner. The rotors are from the ae93. Their about 2mm smaller in diameter then the ae102 but the center hole is the same size as the '82 The rear springs are Kings Quote
Des Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Posted December 7, 2007 Got the head back from the engine shop and its all good. Didnt even need a surface but i asked for it do be done anyway, Vacumm tested the valves and they are really good. They said that the head had been rebuilt recently so thats a bonus. All up it cost me $55. Quote

Its good to see that you are getting stuck into this one and if you give up you will be branded 'The Homo' but i don't think you will as you got a bargain there. Quote

Des Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Posted December 8, 2007 The bush's are still good so I'm not replacing them. The front rotors don't fit in the backing plates so i will need to get the tin snips out and a file. Quote
