Finally going to get to see this tomorrow, been in the country since February :lol:

Here's a few pics from the auction and it better be in the same condition as I doubt you can claim on the shipping insurance 6 months later :lol:

Oh yes, you would have missed the whole recent Photofucket dilema :roll: PhotoBucket are now holding 3rd party hosted pics to ransom for an imaginative $399 a year fee. Most of us have lost all our pics now, but there is a hack :D Check out how I've editted your codes ("~original" needs to precede [/img]). I'm yet to edit all of my threads yet :lol:

Very jealous mate. I'd love one of these! 8-)

Cheers man used imgbb, missed way to much, one of my good mates is now a dad ffs, he's bringing the wee one round today for a visit tho :)

Its a 3.5 but apparently couldn't go any higher as its over 100,000km, 141,000km is roughly what its on so not to high when converted.

Wheel refurb/brakes

Post by newkid » Fri Aug 18, 2017 3:03 pm

Well after seeing the car there was a few things I wanted to get done, one was the tyres as they were all as good as slicks, so a full set of Uniroyal rainsports 3 were bought :D
Decided since I was going through all that hassle I'd have the wheels redone, decided on full black with a gunmetal face, looks 8-) rattymcclelland able to give any advice on best way to do the center caps?

Image

As you can see I've fitted new disks and pads to the front, mtec disks for the ATR and mintex pads, I also got the rears but haven't fitted them as off yet as rear disks and pads are as good as new ;)

Wheels fitted

Image

The only downside to the car is the front bumper but I was informed off this before purchase and was marked as A+ on the grade sheet, basically it needs repainted as its peeling badly in locations and a scrap on the lip, rest of the car other than being dirty from sitting is as good as perfect. To say I'm happy is an understatement.

Car went in for its mot on Wednesday and passed with flying colours, paperworks just been sent off for registration so hopefully be driving the car very soon.

On the plus side, according to sticker on engine the belts were only done in December 2014 so gives me a little time to save up for that being replaced.

We don't really have them either. This a fresh import I bought myself.
