well i brought my first car for $3400 r33... , unfortunately auto as mum paid for it and im paying her back and it was a quick decision.
Drove 6 hours to get it , when i got there i had no clue it was in such a neglected condition...
driving 6 hours home with it , cd player was stuffed , bald tires , dash lights didnt work , needed wheel balance BAD
it basically needed a lot of attention... so i got home that night at about 2 am , parked it up and went to bed.
sometime within that week i parked it in my shed and thought... i cant leave it this way
the worst thing by far was someone had painted the WHOLE interior blue with spray paint.. so thats means ripping every single piece of interior out and spending $200 for 2L of interior paint with a vinly bonder.. so i ripped everything out with the help of some choice mates..
We did a lot of wire soldering , found about 5 metres of random wiring that had no purpose , smashed up neon bars , corn flakes , dockets , and lots of other fuilthy shit the previous owned had left in it , it was a nightmare
to paint the interior it took about 3 weeks , just running around , finding the paint , going back for more paint , re installing
i wont ramble on too much , the pics show most of the stuff ive done to it from early stage to now
unfortunately no pics of the blue interior as i had them on the iphone and it decided to shit itself..
Paint is also really bad but.. but oh well.
Total spending on this car since buying in december is $3700 , including a $1500 orion sound system i got on sale , which was down from about $2200 or so
Its auto yeah , but not bad for a first car
cheers
sold the rice spec bodykit and GTR wing and replaced the dinted quarter panel
interior apart
engine was sucking hot air because it had no airbox snorkel , so added one , not a bad looking engine bay for 195.000 KM
got some stock front and rear bumpers
interior finished
got some genuine weds krenze wheels for $500... 18x10 and also some GKTECH 4 to 5 stud converter spacers which are 20mm and let you run 5 stud wheels on a 4 stud car... i ended up having to buy 4 new studs and pulling the rear hub assembly apart to make these things fit... but they work pretty well , hope the cops dont notice them , also sticker bombed my old dinted panel after i took the dints out
put my wheels on , lowered it with lovells springs i got for $50 and front tein struts which are as hard as anything..
also painted my wheels with the green lip , cheers
next to do is a drift lip for the boot
tint
buying tein coilovers for $450 off a mate
maybe a respray
thanks for looking
