shLONG13 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Posted September 5, 2012 Managed to get a few snaps of the gilmer set up today for you guys. Have to say one of the best mods i have done to it haha, love it! Quote
Jono.C Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 Did you drill holes in the core to mount that thermo? Quote
shLONG13 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah didnt drill it, just spaced the fins apart a little bit Quote
shLONG13 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 Bit of an update on the purple people eater for you guys. Finally got around to getting the cloth inserts removed from the seats and replaced with vinyl with the original brown stitching which looks heaps better. Also had the TEQ logo sewn into the middle of the back seat for a finishing touch. After the seats had been put back in on Saturday the next day i put it in the Shannons Car and Bike expo, one of the biggest ones of the year and managed to win my 6th trophy in a row for Best 1980's Modified. So stoked! Also just recently received some news that it will be going into Hot4's magazine in the readers rides section in issue 229 and then later on they are doing a full write up on it! Heres a few pics from the weekend that people took. Quote
Ben-89 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I said it on fb and i'll say it again, those seats look brilliant! Its something about the vinyl which gives the interior that ambience. In the time this car has been public, its seriously gotten better and better. Also who owned the red ke70 xx and ae71 csx in those car shots? They looked quite tidy and original. Edited October 23, 2012 by Ben-89 Quote
shLONG13 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks heaps man! :thumbsup: Unsure about them just a few randoms that parked next to me. The slanty front one was tidy as but the other one was a bit rough Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 I'd say the majority of KE70's would look rough next to yours. Quote
Jono.C Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Congrats on another win Matty, As i said the other night Man! You weren't kidding about your ae71 hey, I saw that photo yesterday with half the engine bay gone! haha Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 I'm making sure this gets nominated for RCCOTY. I dunno if a sev winning 2 years in a row would go down well but it really does deserve it. Quote
Jono.C Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Cleanest car on here hands down IMO Quote
