5 speed box - got to love pick a part, told them it was a 4 speed, $80 plus 30 for the drive shaft

Newest addition to the family:

Engine runs great, box and clutch is tight, diff has been re-built, otherwise a lot of rust.

This car will be parted so for all you 02 fans let me know if there is something i can help you out with. I will generate a pdf file with all the relevant parts, but this could take me some time to getting around to doing.

Brand new battery for sale as well (about three weeks old, RACV)

shotgun the drivers side door handle plus lock and the A pillar window mech also the drivers mirror thanks

Would you be willing to ship the headlights to the United States? If so, I'd be interested.

yeah i could send them to the states, surely though there are some headlights available in the states?? I'll get a quote for you and work out a price.
cheers

hey can you give me a price on the door handle and window mech?

which side for both??

$20 for the regulator and 30 for the handle depends which side though.


The headlights would cost about AU$70 to send maybe a bit more, thats rough as i don't know how much they weigh. The headlights together would be AU$120, there in pretty good condition.
If your interested i can get some more pics, just msg me.


cheers

sorry but i found some in sydney for around the same price, thanks for going to the trouble though. i might come back if i need something else which i prob will.

cheers mate

Thanks. The US cars come with completely diffrent buckets. I also would'nt mind the guage cluster and driver side door arm rest.

I need the speedo (its in Km's anyway), and the drivers arm rest would be AU$40, i'll get a pic but from memory its in good condition.

what are the under-dash panels like? are they all there?

Not sure which part your referring to.

There has been progress but i'll update properly when i have time, this here is some creativity due to my lack of planning ahead. I degreased the car before removing the engine and sub to realise that once the engine was removed there was still a lot of dirt/grease, and with no sub it made for hard moving.

So i came up with this, an indoor car wash. Worked a treat!




dont worry about the electricity...



there is a lot more water in there than you think, so much so that i couldn't lift the plastic.

how's the car going? long time no update.
this car doesn't happen to be the 2002 that i see parked in domain rd all the time is it??

near the car yard called 'peter something??'?? No its not, but i know that 02 and it looks sweet, pretty much the same as mine

UPDATE.

Anyway its been a busy few weeks. Basically just stripped the car. Just got the headliner and scripting left, but annoyingly i left organising the painters pretty late and the bloke said he'll fit me in start of next year.

So i'll be mad busy trying to get everything ready to bolt back onto the car before it comes back at the end of Jan.


bonnet and boot still on for space reasons



empty engine bay, except for that damn speedo, still cant get it out!!






the car is amazingly dusty, not sure how to clean it all out


the dreaded foot well, not too bad, just a little surface rust.



clean wheel well



got to love that rear end



it wouldn't be an 02 with out some proper rust, hopefully not too bad

Oh, and the boot lock seems to be stuck, how does the actual lock part come out, I'm assuming its just the circular part???

its like a nut on the inside of the boot, little confusing but you will get it just inspect it and twist it and you should get it.

yeah tried that with no luck, unfortunately there had been very few nuts that have wanted to come off due to all the dust this car has seen, i'll just keep spraying it and twisting.

Hey mate, howd you go with the headliner?

Neither myself nor Bill can remember exactly but with those press in metal clip things, i think we pinched them with some long nose pliers but it might be better if you post up on the forum and see if you get any hits.

Cheers,
Tom

yep sorted it out, couple of tricks and out it came with no problems or rips.

did a bit of work today:


with summer coming i thought i'd invest in some air con



wool is a good insulator so that should keep the cold air in the car


worked ok, not great


hand cleaned the interior, took lots of dirty water and time.



finally worked out how to get this thing out.



thinking about getting this colour as my interior, i would like the white/gray bits to be fewer, but something along these lines would be good, black with a hint of something.

With the removing the tar off the floor - You used dry ice rather than ice yeh?

Good to hear you got that headliner out without any probs!

yep i used about 10kg of dry ice, but it wasn't that easy, i must of left it for 30 min and i still needed to use a hammer and chisel.
