[cfly86]

BTW cool CRX you got there!

[cfly86]

its a very clean crx...not long after a full body work restoration but its not mine ...i have more pics of it here if anyone wants a look.

enough about hondas

my trueno.

sinice my last photo update, ive got all the sound deading out, and haven't really found much more rust..only a few "krusty" patchs here and there, but mostly is clean

been working with a wire bruch on my drill in the archs and under neath on the passenger side, as my garage isn't all that big .
we cut alot of rust and crap out of the pocket and have "re-shaped" it and it just waiting me to work round to it with the grinder, seam sealer and stone chip!!.

anyways, here some pics of the work thats been going on

















sorry about the phone pic's i'l try to use the digital camera next update :mrgreen:

Slow project? Where?

It's actually going very fast Keep it up!

[cfly86]

i know it seems to be going alot quicker than i thought it would lol the sooner its done the sooner i can roast the rear tyres of it

anyway here are a some pictures i took with my phone and proper camera of the work ive got done in the last day or 3.

almost finished the front arch, just to paint up one or 2 more parts, then of course im saving for shocks and springs of the new kind.


also got the rear arch/pocket closer to compleation








also been takeing random photos of parts ive collected and purchaced and just random shots in general

toyota crud-flaps




old exhaust system ...glad thats off lol


slightly polished janspeed 4-1 header


and how its sitting until tomorrow




oh and a better photo of the mr2 lights

Thanks!

update time again.

due to the need of a profesional welder and my complete lack of welding skills, i finished off what i could of the passenger side yesterday and put her back on all fours, and pushed it into the day light so i could brush out my garage


pictures of work that will need done properly




anyways before i pushed the car out my friend removed the rubish 4-1 manifold, it sounded like scaffolding rattling when he dropped it on the floor
pics of old vs new







manifold'less engine



gong back out to work at it now, so maybe more progress pics tomorrow, and probably random pics to cause i get distracted easly haha

cheers for looking. comments and ideas welcome etc :wink:

It'll be done in no time Good luck!

When it's ready, what color will you paint it?

[cfly86]

i can't wait to get it back on the road such a fun car to drive

im not sure if i can afford to get it painted before its m.o.t test, but i do like silver over graphite on the trueno, as there isn't many like it about.

then again its original colour is silver over black so.... i don't i love both colours haha
im saving for exhaust system, shocks, top mounts, and lowering springs, and theres a small'ish list of bits it needs for the test, like a horn and rear fog light and brake pads all round.
but welding is first on the list, so i should hopfully have more updates soon as the rust hunt continues haha

thanks
