Administrators gav240z Posted February 15, 2012 Administrators Posted February 15, 2012 Question - Are you not going to paint the inside? Seems like it wouldn't take much more to refresh it? Given you are at it now? Quote
zzzzed Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 I'm hitting the floor with sound deadened. I don't really see the point in painting the rest and then covering it all up with vinal and carpet. Plus my boss is painting it for free so I am not going to push ot Quote
zzzzed Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 I fit some old second hand rubber to my rims for now so i can fit up my willwood brakes. unfortunatly they would not fit in side the 14 inch rims and i still need to be able to roll it around. I will put some new tyres on when it gets closer to putting it on the road. These tyres are 235/45x17 all around but i will more than likely run 245 when the time comes. Quote
Scando Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Looks great with the flares fitted. I like the darker centres on the Rotas too. Quote
MaygZ Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Looking great Mick. It's a shame that there is nowhere to drive it after 6pm - when Adelaide shuts down each night Quote
zzzzed Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Thanx guys. Your so funny Simon. Lucky I don't livein Adelaide. I can drive to my hearts content because there are no cops on the road after 8 pm here Quote
Joiji Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Looks great Mick. What width are the wheels on it? 235 looks pretty small on them Quote
Roberto Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Looks great Mick. Yeah, 235's are ok for the front but maybe on the small side for the rear. 245 40 17's for rear would be perfect. Quote
luvemfast Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 It's a shame that there is nowhere to drive it after 6pm - when Adelaide shuts down each night Bwah ha ha ha ha harrrr Classic line. But Murray Bridge is not Adelaide. Lucky for Mick Quote
zzzzed Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Looks great Mick. What width are the wheels on it? 235 looks pretty small on them Yeh the rears are 235 on 9.5" rims. Unfortunetly I could nOt find any seco d hand 245 tyres in my town I will be fitting 245 tyres when it goes on the road Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted March 2, 2012 Administrators Posted March 2, 2012 Jealous mate wish my paint was that good. Quote
RBZ 260 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Good Work Mick. Not long to go........though I though you be finished now. I know how Murray river is tempting in summer. Stop water skiing and do some work Got to catch up. still need to pick my junk parts left at your place. cannot even remember what I even had there. Quote
zzzzed Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 this week i have been working on getting the brakes fitted up. the fronts were easy as they came in a kit. but the rears are from an r31 skyline and i had to do some work to make them fit, Next week I will be fitting up the brake lines and hand brake cables and hopefully it will be able to stop when i roll it down my drive way I will be rebuilding the rear brakes before the car goes on the road.

luvemfast Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 So Mick. Yu going to drive this beast down for the Xmas BBQ? Quote
zzzzed Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 that sounds tempting. I hope i have it finished by then. most of my money is going towards the house at the moment Quote

zzzzed Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 Planning on doing some offloading Mick? Super pumped mate! Are you referring to my pootrol or my super high zed. Yeh I would love to do an off road Holliday in the future. I have only had the patrol a few weeks and I love it. I can't wait to get the motor in my zed so it don't look like a 4wd Quote
MaygZ Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Looks great Mick. Love the colour. Love the look. Diesel Patrol - thought you would go with the L28??? Quote
