Meet the 3 door CL!

[drucejnr]

So, after a few weeks of looking around I finally settled on this little bargain! Picked it up for 2k, with a full years worth of rego on it, everything working mechanically and a clean interior!




(excuse the bad photo angles, didn't have much room between the house and the car)

Car needs:

• Wheel alignment
• Aircon needs wiring up
• replacement head unit (current aftermarket one is buggered)
• reupholster headlining
• lowering

Things I want:

• set of 17's (wheels I'm going for are a surprise)
• coilovers
• reupholster seats/inside of doors
• antenna stub

Cheers guys! I'm very happy with the purchase as the previous owner had it since 2000 and was a mechanic, so it's in near mint condition bar the missing wiring for the aircon.

Bag it and do a five stud conversion...

That is a future plan but for now I'm considering the cheapy JOM coilovers off ebay. And I'm not sure I can't do a 5 stud conversion on the rear because they're drums /: but the wheels I want come in 4x100 and they're 17"x8"

A new rival I see....

Looks clean. Can't wait to see another static 3 door at some shows!

Hopefully thats the plan! Won't be making any shows till I get some work done on it though.

Might I ask, I just checked yours out, and it looks sweet but would like to know if your antenna came stock at the rear or did you move it? I plan on changing it to a stub on the fender but I'm not too sure how that'd work out.

Update: Spent the day cleaning the interior, washing, polishing and waxing and my god, it looks even better now. Fiddled around with the head unit too and managed to get the six stack CD player up and running again; time for some good tunes

My car is odd, it has build date 1 and 2 features.
A stub on the fender? I'm sure it's been done before, shouldn't be too hard.

If I remember correctly there is a set of mk3 on for sale at the moment.

Cheap as too!

Just checked vortex and most of their DIY links are gone /: but it can be done. I'm sure the boys at Autobarn or something will know of a way.

Rear disks?!?! I did a bit of googling and they say if you have drums, to just keep them; it's not worth the hassle with such a low powered engine.


Need to get the gearbox fixed - the centering springs are gone and it's making it impossible to shift from 2nd to 3rd and from 5th down to 4th. Plus, it sits under 5th when in neutral :S

Coilovers, derp.

I have disks if you want them. Polished up and everything.

Also cute tumblr post



Before you ask yes I am a stalker.

[drucejnr]

Ah yes. Only 200 odd dollery-doos off ebay and cheers for the offer but eh, it's too much work to go from drums to disks and I don't have that cash right now

HAHAHA! Well she's all washed and waxed... and that is a cute post.

Yeah, I have noticed that you are a bit of a Tumblr/Instagram stalker
