dbr11k Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Posted July 13, 2012 Yea man, white for now, and later on down the track I'm going to put a purple flake over the top of it Quote
dbr11k Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 Well not much progress, but it's progress none the less.. fuel hoses and some cables for the battery and alt showed up.. first time using proper fittings but I didn't do to bad I've been backed off at work from 72 hours to 48 hours which is a good but a bad thing.. less money but more time to work on the Rolla.. I've gotta bust the tig welder out on the fuel cell and surge tank, and that's the fuel system done.. then it's just the exhaust and tail shaft to do.. and then wait on ky trailer to be built (around about august 10th) and trailer it around the country side to get things done to it that I simply can't do my self..

kickn5k Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Braided line and dash fittings are very, very addictive!! Be very careful. Hahaha. Quote
dbr11k Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 Haha I hated it, no patience but... Well it would seem the car cover and the Rolla are going to become very close friends for the next month or 3.. I've gotta set my priorities straight in life, and at the moment the Rolla isn't anywhere near the top of the list.. it won't become an unfinished project.. just will take a bit longer to finish, which seems to be the trend of project cars anyways....

Willis Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Well it's certainly the trend with my project car. ʞ©$ɟ, I had everything pretty much ready to go and knock the conversion over in a matter of weeks. It's been like 3 months now...Wayyyyyyy overdue. Ohwell, as long as it doesn't end up on here for sale you're golden haha Quote
dbr11k Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 Yea it's not something I wanna do, but it's definitely something I have to do, this means no car trailer either.. I will probably still occasionally duck out to the shed and do a few small jobs, but I'm just not going to spend any money on it for a bit, I'll buy another bottle of gas on Monday so I can finish all the welding.. it's probably a good thing, as I was starting to rush it too much and I was cutting corners. Quote
Willis Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah, cutting corners isn't what you want to do. I was almost going to cut a few but I'm glad that I didn't. In the end it will be worth the wait. That first drive will be insanely rewarding man. Quote
dbr11k Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 Hope so, I hate doing project cars so much now, I've forgotten the feeling of building something and then using it and proudly telling people you did all the work your self... With this thing it's starting to get to the point where it feels like its going no where haha It will be good to see yours finished, and everyone else's .. gunna suck when everyone else's is done and mines still under a cover but lol, I just keep telling my self its only time and I've got plenty more of that :) Quote
dbr11k Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Posted July 20, 2012 I don't think it matters how much you tell your self you're not guna spend money on them... You always will lol. Quote
