My New 70 Aka The Black Pearl

[SLW42]

Today is a good day for this car i picked up some ra60 rack ends and they screwed straight into the ke70 tie rods :D , so now it steers hopefully once i get my boss kit and spare steering wheel back off my mate, i'll be able to get the wheels as close as possible to straight i'll be able to move it out of the yard and maybe take it up the street to see how it goes with the s13 gear and falcon springs :D , can't wait till it has rego again

 

Anywyas here is a comparison pic to show length differences

hahahaha it's on it's way too flat black heaven :D i'm just trying to find a place in bris that re seals and joins 3 peice wheels and it'll be tucking some nice 7 and 8inch wide 3 piece wheels :D

i've got enough of the bloody things to sink a battleship hahaha, tomorrow i'll sort out the 'wheel alignment' issue hopefully, if i can get my boss kit back off bush the thing just might move out of the old gurls yard for a quick blap up the street :) , then to show all the doubters i'll skid it in the driveway to show it will do it :P

 

Then i'll sand the roof back and the tops of the doors and hit them with abit of matte black, and slowly make my way around the car AGAIN :bash:

piece by piece the pearl lives and soon will be super wicked when it slides hahaha

[SLW42]

yeah like a farken puzzle slowly but surely being done piece by peice to one final POS ;) , haha I got into the shit today by the misso for spending 80 bucks on rack ends for this thing, I just turned around and said 'rack ends are like make up it's a must have' lol :P

[SLW42]

So yesterday was pretty productive i managed to get the wheels straight enough to the point where it'll nearly drive straight, managed to sand both drivers side doors and respray them in flat black, and put oil in the diff

 

Flat black is a hard colour to paint :( , anyways i painted the front ds door and a mate of mine painted the rear ds door, in a space of about 2 inches high the whole way along the rear door there was about 3 runs,

 

Oh well time for pics,

My car spins the 15x8's on it now:) only have 195 wide tyres on it though.

today i spent abit of time on the inside of the car, tryin to tidy things up and peice it all back together,

 

Then decided it was a good idea to try to take some more paint off the roof, (with an orbital sander) i dunno if it's just me or not but i think orbital sanders fail at life :bash:

 

Could just be that i'm useless, either the pads i was using weren't good enough. Mind you I was using 60 grit to get the 30 thousand layers of shit paint off the car.

[Undertaker_is_the_best]

lol yea trav really f@$ked that paint job up aye

seriously who the f@$k would ruin the perfect gold paint that was underneath it not to mention clear coat was still on but iam sure you will make the car look even better flat black

[SLW42]

maybe man, matte black is so hard to paint aye

[SLW42]

today has been spent half working on the car and half fixing taps at the old girls house, but i managed to get it to run again, it kinda doesn't like to idle much anymore, i dunno if that cause it hasn't been run in awhile or something isn't right, but it runs and idle's after you hold your foot on the throttle for a minute or so, then let it off it drops abit then idle's i'm so confused silly car,

 

But yeah it runs again, steers and drives again woohoo, i havn't actually driven it but it seems to move back and forth abit :P

 

Oh how do i get more adjustment out of my clutch, if the adjusment part on the cable hangs out the knobby bit on the car :(
