1993 FXGT from AKL

Hey guys
 
As you know I now have a new FX GT (I'll post pics tonight).
I sent her through for a WOF (MOT) and with the condition she is in and what I know is wrong with her, she only failed on very little.
Park light not going.
Fog light not going.
R/R wheel bearing.
L/R sway bar link not even bolted up.
 
So I spent yesterday fixing those up, and will go for it recheck next Sat  

nice, but you know the drill....

PICS, PICS & more PICS   

Haha You know i lack in the taking of the pics department, but as soon as I see her i'll take some more

Ok guys sorry for not getting to this but some of you will know I have some stuff go down.
I will but up pics tonight

Not much wrong with it at all Jamie

As promised photos   







If you look really close the caliper is a twin pot hehe

haha, my grille is still blue, love it!

I thought you'd like that Chris.  

looks nice man

Thanks man

Just so everyone is one the same page I have now fitted the carbon bonnet, aftermarket head lights, twin potts with slotted rotors, 15" wheels and the MRP coilovers.
The interior has been tidied up.

Next to come is the rear sway bar, rear strut brace, new tires, new steering rake,and to drop in he new engine as this one is a bit poo.

Hey man, no the GL/GT is for sale I have to pay for the airfares from when we went to the states

oh really? sorry i miss understood something...

Alright I had to change the bonnet pins.
Sooo.. here it is



First I had to drill into the front bar to install latching bar. I was lucky as the bonnet already had the hold in it so I could line up the bar quite easily.




I marked out the latch on the bonnet then had to drill through bonnet around the markings but leaving heaps of room for the just in case.
Once I had the holes drilled through it was tennis elbow time! filing the hole to fit the hatch. The carbon if quite soft and easy to file so it didn't take to long.




The almost finished product, all I have to do now is lay down the carbon wrap as the bonnet is quite old and cracked then to screw the latch down

Coming along nicely Jamie still believe the carbon should be on mine lol.

Thanks Dave. How's things with you guys?

I like what you did, with the old hatch and now this one. This is definitely a better way to start off modding. Looking forward to the updates.

those dual exhaust are awesome <3 i just find them for my sedan GT corolla

Definitely better for sure, I guess I should update this as a little bit has happened to get now.

Really Jamie tell us more

I will don't worry   

Its been a while since I updated so I thought I should.
So of you will know I've sold the black top from the car and I've dropped in a hybrid 20v.
She's all up and running and I'm putting K's under her trying to wear it in, although its burning a lot of oil (blue smke) and smoking a lot of white smoke on start up.
Pics to follow
