Stivva Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Any Updated photos mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 No updated pics as none of the stuff I've bought has gone into the car yet! I'll try and find a camera lying around to get some pics of the bits and pieces, but my parents have gone to Europe and have probably taken all the cameras. Found a friend of a friend that's going to put my suspension and seats in for a good price, so that's all taken care of. Hopefully will get my wheels in a few weeks so I can do that. Also gotta get my ass over to Sale to pick up an Airdam some time. And go to Dandenong to get my carpet fitted cause they can't figure out which carpet cut design is the right one. Then when Lurch finishes his workshop will get some bodywork done, and do the finishing touches after that. I've managed to stick to budget so far, no blow outs which is good Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivva Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I bought my carpet fr dance ing. I had to take in one piece so they could work out which pattern to use. I was happy with the result at the end of the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Z Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hey Saxon. Did you end up getting the airdam off the guy in sale? Ive tried but still can't get ahold of Shane who apparently makes them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi Candy, I've had no trouble dealing with Shane so far, and no problems contacting him. If anything, I've been the lousy one cause he finished it a few weeks ago and I haven't gone up to get it yet. Keep trying to call, and at different times during the day and you'll get onto him. I hope when I take my car there they can work out which one to use, I don't really have a carpet for them to compare it to cause mine is all ripped up/old/probably not even original. We'll see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Z Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Cheers Saxon. I usually try calling him during the day as I dont like bothering people. after hours. I'll give him another shot tomorrow. If I end up getting one off him and your patient I could grab yours at the same time or couriered together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.R. Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Saxon, if you can wait til' my workshop is finished, I'll be able to do your flares as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks Lurch, will have a think cause flares have to go on before suspension, cause need the wheels on to test the ride height before welding it all in. It's not that far away I should probably wait cause I know you'll do a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxon Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi Everyone, My wheels arrived today so I thought I'd take a few photos of them. And while I was at it, took some photos of the other stuff I have lying around. I should add a disclaimer: I don't have the nack with photography, like some of you guys on this forum do. I could take a shiver in the gutter and some of you guys could take a photo of it and make it look better than the photos of these wheels. And the flash is annoying to take photos of them, they are very very shiny. So this is the carpet I bought, very exciting.

luvemfast Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Nice bits of gear there Hamish. I popped in to the Lurchos Mansion after picking up my new donk from Peter Macs, I was going to test fit it in your Z. But alas, the mancave was locked.

saxon Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks Simon. Maybe you should fit it to your own car. Then you might actually be able to step into it normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
