Project 504

[DubSteve]

THanks fellas, the Porsche wheels where one of a kind, and it will be bloody hard to replace them and still to this day I sigh that I sold them.

So I hope that I can achieve it with these wheels. To tell you the truth I feel like hugging the wheels

Mate mate mate they look good. Ive decided to out do u and order a bit from the US and make a few purchases here. Should make u quite jealous!!!

A quote like this and I will call you a ahole!

[peedman]

Ahahaha ill give u a few hints. I will have bigger brakes than u

[DubSteve]

Ahahaha ill give u a few hints. I will have bigger brakes than u

Son of a biscuit, hate status is uber high right now

Can't wait to see yours come along if you need help this sunday I'm free I can also bring the gurny that you want lol.

[peedman]

MMmmmm biscuit!!! I was gonna go the girling 60 dual piston caliper which is the same size as urs but shipping from the US and the fact ppl have said its too heavy have turned me down. I should stop on a dime now, just gotta pay the money and have it arrive on my doorstep!!!

Believe it or not i was contemplating the ecstuning stage II porsche calipers but it works out to be like 2.1k delivered here which is too much lol

Yeah come round on sunday, early if u can as ive got work starting at 4pm. I shouldnt clutter ur thread up, ill give u my address

[DubSteve]

Those rims are hot as hell Stevo, in regards to rims I now have to hate you and Ray equally (Still haven't forgiven you for showing pics of your golfie with those Oz Turismos on Ray )

[rayray086]

Haha I've posted them up! Around somewhere... but the state of the car was just not up to scratch back then

Steve, are they the same wheels?

[DubSteve]

Steve, are they the same wheels?

Haha sure are Raymond, just showed my dad the work he was speechless, mission complete

[DubSteve]

So dusty

Well its update time again lol. So Friday I went down to see the boys at Detroit and have a gasbag to talk cars, always a pleasure talking to them I tell you. You can tell how passionate someone is with there work, by the way they talk!

Anyway on with the pics!





Alot of work!


I almost died when I saw the state of inside the car


New panel that was replaced!



The front radiator support is a strong fibreglass, but I asked them to paint it white or black and couldn't decide however when I sw this I fell in love, they still have to rub it back and redo it again cause its still looks like there is orange peel there.


So so dirty.





More work still waiting for Matt Loon to PM me back with in regards to the window reg, paid last thursday!



The rear end. Will have more pics up tomorrow as I am going to go past there today to take a look.

[Jarred]

cool fun.

it's often hard to see your car is such disarray, but in the end, it is worth it indeed!

[DUB 20V]

man you have a lot of cleaning to do, the inside is so dirty, looks good so far tho

[rayray086]

I wanna steal that hatch...

[DubSteve]

Kuhmo Goodness

So Saturday I was looking for tyres and I hd settled on 205/45s but I couldn't decide what I wanted the Pirellis Dragans or Kuhmo KU31s, anyway after much debate I decided for $110 each aswell, and I have heard nothing but good things about these tyres to!




7.5s with the 205 no real stretch, but I am quite happy with it aswell.



However stretch on the 8s WOOOOOHOOOOO!




The stretch on the 8s are alot more than it looks which is heaps good and to make it even better all up they put something like 10g on all 4 wheels 2 wheels where perfect!





Valve caps I had bought from Awesome gti!



Adaptor goodness. I wanted to paint these black as per the theme of the car kind of thing and I really didn't want the police to notice the polished finished they kinda had!




Thanks to Raymond for these who used to run them on his car!

More updates at the end of the week.

Cheers Steve

[DubSteve]

Haha Raymond never

man you have a lot of cleaning to do, the inside is so dirty, looks good so far tho

[99gti]

I'm painting my adapters black also. Such a shame - they look like a work of art. Oh well...

Looking good Steve - it's coming along nicely!
