~: T18 :~ The Pumpkin Project

After painting the roof again, it was colour sanded... Once again after buffing big scratches appeared.

As it turns out sand has been falling on the car from the ceiling and has caused the scratches while colour sanding.

 

After cracking the poos with it, I have finally decided pulled my finger out and begun putting everything back together.

Interia is all but done.

 

Just gotta respray the boot, gaurds and bonnet, sort out the engine issues, clean then we hit the roady check.

 

Its taken 2 years to do Sweet FA!

Getting there mate, like your colour choice. :D

 

Off topic question; what model Torana do you have ? Any details ?

Cheers,

Cheers mang.

 

Yeah I love orange, plus its a highly visable colour so hopfully no one drives into us.

 

Sadly it is both a UC and its actually a Sunbird with a 202 dropped in. I must say I am really impressed in how sterdy and reliable the "Tori" has been so far.

Yeah the old UC cops a fair bit of flak doesn't it !

My mate has a UC that ran a 202 while he was on his Ps and just recently he dropped in a 333 stroker.

It sure goes a bit harder now !

Cheers.

[Gspec]

Yeah the UC's aren't very popular, except for doner cars for the LH's and LX's.

Because its a Sunbird most Tori fans don't even concider it a Torana... but they are still more than willing to use parts off it for their Torasnas. :D

 

It ws a free-bee so I can;t complain.

 

Although a 333 would be killer, this car wont be getting any mods, as it is just a daily, and I already have enough money pits.

Yeah fair call, we all get to that stage don't we !

[Gspec]

Yeah thats many better spent on our Charger.... and maybe some engine work for the Pumpkin.

 

I got the last of the orange paintdown today. Gaurds came up a charm but I got a little too clever for my own goos with the boot lid and it have need more love.

 

If the weather holds out I may hit the bonnet today too. Then that all the paint.

 

 

....................................

 

 

Well I got the satan black ontop the bonnet.

Damn hard to get it down for some reason.

Plenty of nibs too.

Made full use of this day off.

Pulled the engine out of the Pumpkin: Ready for head work, rings and new gaskets.

Pulled the engine out of the doner car.

Swapped a few things around as the doner engine had a AC pump. Plus I managed to damage the pressure plate.

Dropped the doner engine in, hooked it up

 

Runs a charm.

 

Engine out:

 

Doner engine:

 

Doner engine in the Pumpkin: As you can see, it needs a good cleans. Once the car is completely back together the first trip will be to the car wash.

 

It appears that our rabbit likes Toyotas:

[Gspec]

Yeah fair call, we all get to that stage don't we !

 

Plus I would like to get rid of the Torana, replace it with a KE70.

 

:jamie:

[Gspec]

The Pumpkin is just about together and ready for the road.

 

Funny thing... Got all the parts for her so I no-longer need the doner car, the guy picked it up last tues.

I went to put the wiper arms on... FAIL! The doner car had a nice set on it too :wink:

 

Anyways, rolled out the Pumpkin so the rain would was it a little for me...

 

[Gspec]

Did a test drive today and I could hear water slushing around near me. Turns out one of the drain holes was blocked.

Its a good thing I went crazy with rust proofing.

 

The Pumpkin is mostly together and is getting booked in for a roady on Monday.

Then its time to lower her and start work on some performance.
