Guest Busca Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Really nice colour, good choice! Now we need to see the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cknr0lla Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks gents! Lots of love going into this car Master, hopefully will be a pearler once done! LOL missing the best part, I have decided on doing the running gear last as I want to get the car itself built up just the way I want it before running.. I will be too tempted to drive it once the motor is in so I'm saving that for last ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cknr0lla Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Today the window guys came round to refit the windows, had new seals ordered so is really looking the part now with the new paintwork. Fitted door handles properly and mirrors also today with refreshed black trims/seals too. The rear quarter windows are not looking too great on the rubber, its as though it has faded in places... any idea what I can use to rectify this? Can I use trim dye / carpet dye and will this last? Attempted to cleanup the inside today, even bought a handheld vacuum although it will actually need a good wash from all the flattening of the paintwork.. handheld vac also not the best so will resort to the good old dustpan and brush lol. Picture of when the car came home last week... And some of the car today after the windows were refitted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cknr0lla Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Small update.. Last week I cleaned out the inside of the car.. what a mess that was, also cleaned the carpet. Managed to get a glimpse of good weather today so got stuck into the carpet again.. Was dry today so gave it a beating to get the dust out.. man it was like a river of sand coming out of there, wow! must say it came out beautifully though in the end! Really looks this bees knees! Tried to do the roof lining too but wasn't having it.. didn't turn out nice at all.. will go down the route of buying a black one with visors rather. Also stuck the heating system back in so that all done too. Been checking what is needed for the interior trim, surprisingly only two bits so not too bad, once received I will attempt DIY flocking, will see how that turns out. Side window in and also the bootlid tail light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time work began on the motor.. Motor was stripped down, checked, tested, cleaned and refreshed with full gasket and seal kit. All parts were cleaned and sprayed fresh. And the kit arrived... XS Power T61. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/11665380_10153151147957337_5035943856661473314_n.jpg?oh=01a3afea1baa1be1cf0b9b1838ad724d&oe=56DBE9FB Kits looked well worth the money, lots of nice bits and freebies included. I must give a shout to the guys at SS Autochrome as they were extremely friendly and helpful on the phone, very quick to answer emails and offered loads of help. The kit itself took less than a week to arrive too! If anybody is looking for one - http://xs-power.com/toyota-turbo-kits.htm The manifold was nicely done and braced which was a big plus, fitted straight on along with a titanium blanket to keep it warm at night. Had some issues with the intake not clearing the dizzy so had to get a 4 runner dizzy cap. The oil drain was also a slight issue with the angle but managed to get it right eventually. Had to get our own feed and drain pipes and fittings but is 100% now. Edited January 4, 2016 by r0cknr0lla (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cknr0lla Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) While the running gear was being done I got to carbon wrapping the dash panels... Also gave the headlights a refresh.. Before on right side after on the left. Split them afterward and sprayed the inners black. Did a clear lense conversion to the tail lights too. Ordered new mats for the car, new key.. Prosport gauges with Whifbitz upper glovebox gauge pod holding boost, oil pressure and voltage. This also got wrapped in carbon vinyl: Edited December 20, 2015 by r0cknr0lla (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
