M35 Build Thread

[adambruv]

Hey guys.

Im a 100% new to the stagea scene, just picked up a 2001 M35 AR-X (repairable wrightoff) fairly cheap. Currently about to buy a nose chop from a local wrecker, hopefully get it on the road fairly soon,

not sure if i want to go back to a stock bar, maybe some of you guys could suggest some nice aftermarket bars. I have been looking for the sorta bar thats on it now but cant find the same one anywhere

Anyways here are a couple of photos.

So someone finally bought the Ebay car! Have you seen it in person yet?

I don't know of any aftermarket bars which line up with the AXIS flares. Others might. Otherwise just get a stock one.

[adambruv]

yea looked at it tonight, gets delieverd to my house tomorrow only 20km away which is close

[bigkevracer]

Does it actually look clean and tidy besides the nose damage? Guy's been trying to sell it for 6 months.

[adambruv]

outside looked clean and straight, guy said he was getting alot emails saying that people wanted to buy the car but couldnt find parts anywhere, i rang 1 wrecker and said they had everything for me haha. car is dusty and inside could use a good detail, once i get it home and give it a good clean up ill post some new pictures.

Import Monster will be the best place for the bar.

Here is a not perfect second hand one.

whats the shipping normally like on that website if you know ?

thanks

[andy65b]

depends on the item and your urgency.

there is freight calculator on the site.

But as our cars are imports. There are often no other options.

do i need to be a member to view postage calculators ?

just put an ARX front bar/bonnet on it instead of the AXIS one. probably stuff on ebay

The link appears if you are registered, but you dont need to have any funds in the account. Alternatively you can just plug the details in to http://www.importmonster.com.au/estimate manually

The 2nd one Andy posted would be approx $1500 delivered to Adelaide

Try Jesse Streeter, his fees are less

yes, its an AXIS front and wheels.

you can tell its an ARX due to the interior that never appeared in anything except an ARX

The ARX badge on the back is also an indication...

It's good that we now get to see what happens to this car since it was the topic of discussion for a while. Please us updated as you progress. Good luck with getting it fixed & back on the road.

This one looks like a PNM35 front bar.

or this

This is an MASA FRP version of the AXIS bar designed to suit an NM35 without the AXIS flares.

whats the shipping normally like on that website if you know ?

thanks

You'll be looking at around $250ish (not including purchase price) to land a front bar, depending on the price of the bar with IM.

That said, they carefully wrap it, and protect all the critical areas with cardboard. I was very pleased with how well they packed mine.

It is.

Since this car needs a new front bar, bonnet, quarter panel, grill and at least one headlight, why not to a PM35 facelift?

Only difference in amount of items is that you'll need a drivers side headlight (which you should be able to grab via Import Monster or Jesse Streeter)

From this

To this

Just a thought whilst you have the opportunity.

That's a damn good idea Cam; wouldn't be hard to offload the rhs NM35 headlight either.
