I think Bogzy summed it up machan... "Andenawa" literally! Its awesome to see all the hard work and the frustration you had to endure is finally getting close to paying off, she looks and sounds brilliant already, can't wait to see the finished product...

Do they work sundays btw? If you're headed that way would love to come take a look at her.

No machan. Went there today because the Datsun was acting up. Steering link issues. Will be going that way regularly. All you buggers are more than welcome. They work til 7pm everyday. I've tagged the place on four square. Search for "Indika's garage"

so finally the work on the paint starts rolling. sanded and cut one more time, with putty to smoothen out the surfaces. i'm hoping first coat will go on, on monday...

and the coilovers got dust boots, from an FB14!

Blue coil springs looks cool. Good selection bro. Awaiting for the final finish!!!!

Kurosawa is just a fantastic driver. But I don't think under standard conditions 250BHP AWD can keep a 195BHP Front wheel drive around a track. It was also good to see the GPX keep up so well. That's another FWD.

Clearly I have a lot to live up to!

so here's the strut tower bars in place. have to do a little messing around to get the aluminium bar in place. but we'll firgure something out. the double bars were a perfect fit for the stock strut tower. but i had to be the smartass and change that no... :S

and here's a close up of the rear 4 point:

aand finally, after long last they are prepping her for the last coat. so happy. only a few more weeks!

That white looks fabulous!

Komisiripala · May 29, 2013

a little more each day. the gear lever was finally sorted, and the floorboards closed. the shortshifter was also installed, with a little lesson on physics.

paint prep work is also progressing alongside.

a day of days... i am completely, utterly blown away. moved, beyond words. its done. at long last. the mechanicals at least. and it is a work of art!

here's the finished engine bay, more or less. only the icing to be added now:

and here's a shot of the front lower member brace. couldn't get the rear. too dark

here's me trying out the shortshift. and what a shift it is! tighter than virgin p*ssy, creamy smooth, i've not felt a gear this good in a long while. aah!

and here's a clip taking her out of the space she's been in for the better part of the year.

and finally kelum eases off once outside:

it was my turn to drive it afterwards. i wish i could've filmed that. absolutely speechless. she moves. like a hare with its ass on fire. and i didn't even hit 4000 rpm. rib crunching, pant-wetting god-fearing power.
