BIG update coming Smile

well now.... its been a very long time since this was last updated.
A lot has happened since the last post, some good, the rest not so good.

Lets stat with the good shell we?

After swapping my galant for this beast, i kept the evo style bonnet. but it was in black.. and since black bonnets and red cars seem to be the in thing, i thought why not! lets go put it on.

and hey presto, here she is with the bonet, not only dose it look good, but it has help massivly with the cooling, cos as some may know just how hot these engines can get, and for people who dont, lets put it this way... you CAN cook, sauages, burgers, bacon and eggs on the engine :lol:

As you can see, some stickers were added on also.

we have this little monster on the canards
[Image: Monster.png]

this down the doors

And if anyone wants to know what it reads, it DONT say number 57, chicken chowmain! :lol:
It reads "Vampire"

and this is one on the spoiler
[Image: MesobitchiMotors.jpg]

That is the good bit.

Now..... (please bear in mind this is worse then you think and this has not phased me in the slightest)

This is how she sits.....

The merc in the background is one of our other cars (we have a fleet of 11)

As i said, she looks worse then what she really is.
the lights removed and put safe, the bonnet, skirts, spoiler and grill have all been sent away to have moulds made of them and they will be back in due course.

The real damage is this.... Sad

The prop snapped and got wedged on a drain, bringing the car to a sudden stop, forcing the prop into the floor of the car and making it dance in the middle of the road. lucky it was only at 25mph and not the night before where speeds were reached that would be frowned upon.
But to the lead up of this, there was no give away as to what it could be, upon deeper inspection it was discovered there was no oil in the transfer case/gearbox and engine. yet 12 weeks prior i sent it away to the ex (as we were still speaking then) for his dad to service the car for me, they took the money and ruiend my car! :evil:
it is a very sore subject to this date and if i should see them ..... I will let your minds do the wondering.
But karma is a beatch!

A year on and the car is still off the road, but the light at the end of the tunnel is now within reach, as come the end of this month she is being collected by a mate of mine and being taken away to his body shop that will be fixing her up, servicing, fresh MOT, and a few other new toys added to the car.

I will keep you lot updated as to the progress Smile

In the dark i watch and wait......

and the next part is.....

The restoration project has begun Big Grin

The super was got from the lock up and taken to the garage at the back of my mums where myself and Rob started work on her.

[Image: Safelytuckedin.jpg]

We had to strip her insides and do a bit of work to the engine and breaks to get her ready to be taken away to a body shop, we worked till gone 3am only to be up again for 8am ready to meet the guy picking her up and to follow them to the garage.

[Image: strippingtheinsides.jpg]

For the first time in a year, I get to see this Smile

[Image: firsttimein1yearthecarisstarted.jpg]

Being loaded up

[Image: beingloaded.jpg]

Bit of a tight fit!

[Image: tightfit.jpg]

On the drive to the garage

[Image: P6010341.jpg]

Arrived at the body shop

[Image: P6010349.jpg]

Ready and waiting for work to start

[Image: Atthegarage.jpg]

I have asked the guys at teh garage to try and get some pictures of each stage if they can.

I hope to collect her in a bout a week or so all, fixed and MOTed, just have to tax and insure her then bring her back home to be treated to a full detail inside and out then put on all her super bits, evo style bonnet and extra stuff Wink

Can we say i am a wee tad excited? Big Grin

Just had some news from the garage.

Not what i wanted to hear, but needs must i guess.

In order for them to sort the floor out, a section has to be cut due to tension. but once they have finished, I wont be able to tell.
And the car will be ready and dropped off on thursday, they cant do the service so it its being taken to a mates garage who will be doing the cam belt for us Smile

most of it is done now, just the service to do with all belts, and shes done.
its been fairly easy going, but to me its nothing but a walk in the park. the hard part was finding a garage to undertake the work in the first place!

im up grading to brembos in aug as well, then all i need to do is find the right suspention and get that set up spot on and they she will be ready to race Smile

This did make us giggle!

Now for the moment she was dropped off Smile

This garage is in the back ass end of nowhere in the middle of a wood! talk about secluded Big Grin

when we got there, after getting lost in the woods! and who would of know a merc C250TD could go off roading! :lol:
there was a couple of skylines (drool) a pulsa, sillycar sorry celica and a few others dotted around the place all awaiting work.
We said to our friend, that this isnt a rush job, but as long as its done before JAE that would be good Smile

He likes jobs like ours Big Grin

so as and when its done Smile

but cant do the servicing till we take the oils to him, simple cos mitsi he deals with are being arses about selling oil to him in small quanties.
thats alright, i will go speak with my local mitsi dealership and sweet talk the parts kiddy Wink

wont be too hard as he had a small crisis over my car :lol:

there isnt anything left now, other then this shell of what was once a very powerful road going monster)

[Image: photo4-1.jpg]

upon seeing her, its made me feel some what better. She always makes me feel better, just looking at her dose the job. knowing full well its one, if not the only thing in my life that will always be there for me and not let me down (other then my family of course).

I tried some new shoes on her, well possible new shoes,
First off are these wolf race numbers.

[Image: photo3-2.jpg]

I dont like the look of them on my car, they might look good on my silver super VR4 (yes i now own the only two super legnums in the UK)

Then I tried these little black and red numbers.
made by Vaulks

[Image: photo6.jpg]

I like these but it all depends if they will fit over the brembo's when i get them.
they are off a skyline R33 GTR 8)

(hummm im seeing a pattern here with me and vaulks)

Me and Nathen talked a fair while about plans with my car, and we are going to have further chats about a nice little set up he once had in his skyline Wink

some may call it "cheat in a bottle", i call it a whole "bottle" of fun :badgrin: and talk prices.
I also handed him my uprated alternator for my car, as i will be needing it fitted for what the car will be running electrical wise.
Got a date for when i can go pick her up as well Smile

Now to get all the paper work up together, get tax and sort insurance. Job done, mazz will be happy once more!

Then on to the next stages of her "developing" 8)

In the dark i watch and wait......

I had to get out today to clear my head, (as it got a bit over cooked from last night) so i took the spazda 4x4 wanna be and had a nice "spirited" drive up to fairford today to see a very sexy lady who i am madly in love with.
(if you look closely you will see a black car placed up the side of the brick work, this was my very close mates skyline GTST Sad there isnt anything left now, other then this shell of what was once a very powerful road going monster)
