Hey guys
thought i'd finally register and introduce myself
Im Adam, from adelaide!
A couple months ago, i was given the opportunity to buy a 2001 xc barina, for a couple hundred bucks! 100,000km needed some work.
So i went around, paid for it, drove it home, to which it drove like, a low km car! great!
Got it home and ended up with a couple pages of small things which just needed to be done and became quite a headache, the list included things like
Wiper Motor sized
Head lights were cracked/reflectors smashed
Interior was filthy
Stereo didnt work
rear right 1/4 window was smashed
Keys didnt fit the drivers door or hatch (found out the hard way when the battery went flat)
Dead battery (needing a replacement)
noisy strut tops
needing new rubber
the list just goes on and on
After some hard work in fixing the small niggly things (all of the above atleast done) its looking like a respectable ride.
Over the last week i've sat down with the misses discussing what we're doing with it (i drive a vy sv8 as a daily car) at which we've both decided its going to be my new project :D
I've got a nice little list of parts which im currently gathering, just to get your mouths watering, ill list a couple parts
Custom inlet plenum
Custom forged rods/pistons to suit z14 engine
Garrett GT2560r turbo
Anyway, i think thats enough rambling for tonight.
Ill leave you with a pic i took earlier tonight of some new headlights i obtained earlier during the day..
