Machew mutch quieter the nebours prefer the red

Obviously if the grey was standerd the red would eat it as it is the red is better bottom end and the grey top end all depends what you want

I would prefer to put a grey back in but it doesent seem to have a lot of miles on it and there are other things to do like put a auto back in replace the HR drums with disks and fit up an air con and then hopefully I can do some tidying up on the FB

yor answer in a nutshell matchew ALOT better

bit quiet with the nats being on so I thought I would put up a little progress not very exciting but its something

Trimatic is in and runs great a $60 ebay find



Painted the wheels red and put on K-Mart wheel trims (I cant aford the good ones and these were in the back of the car when I bought it) looks much better than the white also gave it a good clean up and waxed it a few times came up alright

Before



After

The car's looking good, Craig.

Comes up well with the K Mart wheel trims. People may knock them, but they are a good alternative to paying 300 to 400 bucks for original dress rims.

What sort of wax did ya use?? I waxed mine this weekend and made a mess of it

does it still have the you know what engine or have you changed it back to a gray yet

No Mick it still has the rrrr, the rree, I cant even say it

hopefully rip it out next year as $$ are non existant ATM

Hi Cal thanks mate Kitten no1 and Repo(made by CRC) but any quality brand canubra wax is the go

Im far from an expert but I seem to get the best results using old towels
I tried a roll of open weave cotton from supper cheap that is suppusedly for polishing and waxing and it looked like crap but was probably my tecnique

I used Kitten no.2 and it made it worse. Scratched the shit out if it and left it blotchy

Had to use a scratch remover, then a wax polish.........it improved it a bit

I went and got one of those orbital polishers and it works a treat. Just gotta make sure you change the head regularly. Ideally you have two, one for wax on, and the other for wax off.......BANZAI!

Nice Craig have you got any shots of the
engine bay

Lisa must be very pleased with that.

Wheels look good, nicely done, and shiney.

Underneath looks good (auto), except for the brown flaky stuff in the floor.

I'm just jealous of EK's that can drive on the road.

Looking good though, the KMart trims look awesome, and score on the trimatic!
