Oh very pretty! Lots of potential there. Which way are you going with this? Like the shoes too - what are they? Here's an idea (i know they are BBS RSs - but colour coding to the body colour always gets scene points)

Got all my tie rod ends and ball joints today, offered my cash needy bro $50 to get everything out of the car for me haha.
After all that's been put in, I'll do the bushes all-round, it's already had the brake hoses replace when dad bought it a few years ago so they should still be pretty good

My main objective is to get it back on the road once it's regoed I can do other things like put the a15 back in, new exhaust respray it fit new carpet, re-trim rear seat and some new pews in the cockpit..
If I get around to it I think I have a ute diff somewhere too..
I'm going to move this to members rides as it's turned into a project thread haha

Rego = good goal... I'm kicking myself for letting it lapse on my Golf - i have to get everything engineered now once it's running... (if you want 2 x black racing seats brand new in the box (not cams approved sorry) PM me, I need to move them...)

As long as they're ADR they should be good, take it they're not reclinable back seat access would be good lol, I got home to find my brother had put most of the front end back together, had a hard time getting the drag link off, I was going to replace it as it was missing the rubber boot, went to repco and they sold me some tie rod repair kits, took them home and it did the job.. Pretty stoked. any way put it off for tomorrow due to bad light. on side note I saw you driving on Wellington st today,

Progress is good - once all the "necessary" things are done you can move onto the fun stuff like paint and shoes... Hooray! Ohhhh - you saw me, you should have jumped and waved like a lunatic! What time was it?

Steering all back in, just needs a grease, and 2 split pins.. also replaced the sway bar link bushes with SuperPro ones, still need to do the control arms and the castor rod ones, but thats all i could pick up on a saturday. ALSO put the A12 back in, upon doing that i remembered i had put the a12 head on the a15 and need to swap it back as i think the A15 head is a little shit... the next thing to do will be to figure out where all the wires and hoses go, i have a workshop manual so thats should help a little .. my brother nick in the process of putting motor back in.. got his best face on haha
