- Lots Of Rust Repair!
- Acrylic Blood Orange Paintwork
- 2inch suspension lift

- 79 Series Cruiser Alloys Painted Black unsure on tyres!

Heres What Im Up Too
- have sold the old sad 22-r engine and have bought the 1uz-fe picked it up quite cheap from a guy in bendigo! still need various parts such as the ecu, rotors, distributers. etc
- apparently the g52 can handle the power of the 1uz-fe there are bell housing kits avaible, but ive decided that a gearbox made for 100hp isnt going too cover the 1uz-fe's 250hp!
the diesel gearbox out of the bundera seems too be my best option! as its apparently good for 500hp!
have found out it is quite hard too find second hand r151f gearbox's, and being about $5,500 for a new gb + tc it is defently out of the budget so im still on the look out for a second hand box!
- have everything i need too paint the car! 4litres of blood orange! 4litres of thinners, 4litres of primer, 4litres of etch primer, sand paper etc! and a spray gun with 2mm nozzle!
went with acrylic because it is easier too paint think ill regret not painting the car in 2pac
- have the car completly stripped down, the passenger side rear quarter was completed full of rust so i have bought a troopy rear panel and modified it too fit the bundera and welded it in
welded plates of steel around the rear windows and there was two patchs of rust on the front windows
just preparing the body for paint needs a lot of bog and sanding!
- hopefully going too talk too an engineer sometime this month about what i need too do!
i think ill be right with the engine mounting and gearbox! but i may have too replace the front brakes
ill have dramas with wireing the ecu! have too wire 30 out of 90 wires in the loom!
The Budget!
originally i was planning on spending between $5,000 - $7,500 heres what i spent so far
- Lj70 Bundera $2,500 and i drove it back too my house from ballarat
- Rust panel bog etc, $70 for panel about $50 in bog and sandpaper, $30 spool of wire
- Gasless Mig Welder + Helmet $370
- Paint about $1000
- 1uz-fe $500 sold the old motor for $500
Already at $4200 so ideally my budget will most likely exceed $10K
