Tony Martin's AU to BA Dash conversion.. hmmmmmm??

[DFP4LTR]

can i ask as politely as i can, why do you bother?

Furthermore why do you bother posting shit up when you know people are gonna give you stick for it?

When i was your age, sure i loved cars but was to busy trying to get my end away, just think it's unusual for a teenager to be fitting ba dash's into his mum or dads car rather than having fun with mates, going to

parties and well happy endings.

I give credit where its due and I'll give points for effort on Tony's part. It's actualy starting to look okay-ish. But I agree in a way. 13-20 is prime ass getting time, don't waste it. Theres plenty of time later on for car modding. Notice how dead my build thread is, Because I'm never at home. But you've taken criticism pretty well and atleast put an effort into your (Dad's) car. I'll save my congratulations for the finished product but as I can see it's getting there.

[Commando]

Naa.. At the moment, it's just sitting there looking all pretty... While I work on the cluster, I will also be working on getting the tiptronic working..

Oh yeah... Does anyone still have the PDF EA2BA made to install a BA shifter into an EA/B/D? I could really do with it as the one on here doesn't have any pictures anymore

Maybe ask on pertheseries.com for a copy of the PDF? I uploaded it there ages ago but lost my own copy.

Oh, I have a conversion kit for sale, just no instructions to go with it (and considering I did this & wrote the instructions years ago my memory's a bit hazy on this)

Let me know if you're interested in the conversion kit

[xrghiawagon]

Cheers Commando..

I will look and ask on there but if no-one has it, or I can't find it, I will PM you for further details


Cheers

[DFP4LTR]

Just read the build thread on FF. I gotta say it's actualy looking pretty dece and I can start to visulise the end product. Keen to see some more updates as I'm doing a bit of moulding in my own interior. P.S way to show those people who doubted you, I'll admit I did a little at first.

[xrghiawagon]

Cheers


Once I've finished hiding as much of the engine bay wiring/looms as possible in the EF which i have been doing over the past two days, then offloaded some of this stuff for more funds, then I will be able to commence finishing this off..

D4v3 - Still havent forgotten, just need to piss some of this stuff that i have forsale off before i can give ya the money for it due to lack of funds..

[sdoylie]

if you're trying to sell some of your stuff there tony. Probably best not to call it 'shit'. Haha.

[xrghiawagon]

yeah... lol

Tony,
First let me say that from what I can see this is not too bad of a job, and it might turn out alright, but I've gotta agree with sk8n6, I'm your age and this is basically what I'm doing, not changing over dashes and what not. And I can't believe you dont own a Playstation or XBox!!

[xrghiawagon]

i have a playstation... never use it though..

just like my tv, its hardly ever on

[92EBFAIRMONT]

My point exactly....ah well it's probably better to be outside working on the car than inside being a couch potato

[EFFalcon]

at the end of the day, if you pull it off, you'll be happy.

and you'll learn a lot in the process, we've all done stupid shit in the past.

[xrghiawagon]

yeap... exactly right... i think its just time for this to be left in history and locked

i have an Xbox... hasnt been used for months except for the occasional DVD
rest of the time im at work or in bed. no time for chasing skirt... im over that crap, too many hassles to go with it

[92EBFAIRMONT]

What is wrong with you guys?? Haven't you witnessed the phenomonal possobilities of the humble Xbox? The joy and excitement you get from one??? And there's ALWAYS time for chasing skirt...

[krisisdog]

:shock: What is wrong with you guys?? Haven't you witnessed the phenomonal possobilities of the humble Xbox? The joy and excitement you get from one??? And there's ALWAYS time for chasing skirt...

Get the **** off here and go play with yourself, im sure that would apply to both.

I was being sarcastic.... And nah thanks mate I'm good

Quiet you. Xbox bores me aswell, to each their own. Some people as kids were locked inside with their eyes glued to the telly yet i've been welding and fabricating since around the age of 10 and only went inside to eat, shit, piss and sleep. I think more teenagers should be doing something creative instead of f*cking all that moves, getting pissed and playing xbox.

Excuse me, but are you accusing me of being a couch potato? Sure I play some xbox, but hell, I'm outside a lot of the time too! And a lot of that is playing around with the cars!

Shiet did I say "92EBFARIMONT.. You are a couch potato. All you do is play xbox while people like Tony (who is better than thou) are doing heaps mad shit."? I don't remember that. I must have been on a drunken boostedfalcon rampage again. My deepest appologies.

[sdoylie]

ok. now now ladies. just beacuse you are both finding it hard to get past level 12 on zelda. doesnt mean you need to get angry and argue on tony's post.

any progress tony?

[92EBFAIRMONT]

You do realise I was joking right??

[xrghiawagon]

naa... the EF is looking like this, as to why i havent had anytime to work on the AU:




I have been re-spraying it a deep black, as to why the AU hasnt had any attention.... That is just before i re-taped up the windows, and dismantled everything again to do coats 4 and 5..


its still got to dry (bake in the sun), then go over it with 2000grit wet and dry, then polish it... if i have to, i will clearcoat it but i dont want a full gloss



oh yeah... both of you either STFU or GTFO

[089JAY]

Tony, did you even take the plate off? Overspray on the right side of it

[xrghiawagon]

yeah.... there is black all over it

and i did take it offf... along with the indicators and ford badge...


the plates are getting replaced in a few weeks anyway..

edit: its multicoloured as it also has some blue and green on it..

[Commando]

92EBFAIRMONT & Deepfriedhobos; if your tiff continues, you can whinge about it on fordmods.

[Dansedgli]

Tony, you havent mentioned your plans for the BF2 XR6T replacement engine.

Hows the progress on that?

[nothin suss]

Once to old AU dash sell the funds will sort that out.

[EFFalcon]

whats with the rough patch under the indicator, shoulda fixed that before spraying.

[holmsy]

lol i said the exact same thing to him

[089JAY]

Who cares? Dan banned him sometime between 2am and now

[Nikk O'lass]

Umm, potential mess here.

If your using a Clear over base system, the base should just tack then apply the clear. If you have let it dry, then you will need to scuff it up. Do not polish it before putting on clear!.

If you don't want full gloss you'll need a "Matte" or "flattening" additive to the clear....

[ELXR_96]

ummmm.....

[sdoylie]

poor fella.

i know he has a few stupid ideas. but at least he's having a go. does alot more than most of talkers on here.

kuddos for trying i say.

Meh, He gave boosted a bad name, saying he had only signed upto the AusStreetCruising Forum (which LIMO8U runs) to start shit, which is abit f***ed in one sense because numerous other people here have done it, but I also see where Dan was coming from.

[sdoylie]

yeah fair call then. **** him. haha.
