yeah not to bad for $50 from USA to AUS

alright, bit of a time for an update. before i got the bag kit i started making a mounting board for it all. took forever to make it right and low enough that everything cleared the boot floor.
got it fitting quite well and as the boot floor isnt flat i covered the base in expanderfoam and to stop noise i then covered the board in dynamatt and then carpeted it all to match.






and also i removed the side moulds but someone has painted the LH side before and unlike removing the moulds they masked them up and it left big shit edges so i primed them up:





i was going to paint it but purely dont have enough time, so my brother is a painter aswell and has just started his own business and needs a bit of work so gave him the car for the week and he got the job done and looks mint!

looked tarf as fuark at Sandown. Good job!

cheers hus!

so got a few pics of how i wanted the valves, tank & compressors to sit.







i covered the tank in glad wrap to prevent scratches ect;



and a few close up of some of my fittings i used for thos who are interested









and how i ran my valves. there is 2 valves per corner ( one for up and one for down) and also a feed per bank from the tank.

looks nice and shiny.

looks like it weighs a tonne!

2 tonne infact

so i took a couple of pics as a starting height:





and it turned out that my new non modded shocks needed modding :



just needed a bit ground out to clear the leader hose.



bent a spring compressor trying to get out rear springs. and a pic of the rear spring and rear bag assembly



front spring and bag:



new and old rear shock

rear suspension before and after stripping:




a few randoms of the car apart etc etc:







the board all roughed out:









then i made up these cool little tubes out of copper to hide all the wiring:

i like that idea!

Looked schmick n sexy at Carribean Market on sunday man! Such an awesome ride!

cheers lads.

a few pics of fitting the bags, struts , lines etc:









bulkhead fittings. bitch to fit but about the only way i could run the lines







a little bracket i made to hold the front leader hose:

ok trying to get this thread up to date but just not happening

anyway mounting the hand controller in center console :



nice, neat lil hole:





so install went quite well and wasnt too bad. started friday night and was done by 7 or 8 sat night.

and final result, sacked:

Looks fucking sweet!


Cheers

a few more angles:











i finished the car the friday night before the sandown V8's (saturday) and went and displayed with Boostedfalcon.

cheers man. its good to get the trophy's. i know alot people dont think its that big of a deal being a newer car and all, but i drive this car every single day so its kinda cool but its hard to keep it clean when im always driving it hahah

heres a pic i took at my other job that i thought was cool, dumped between the Elgrands and delica

Looks so good.

So does the Elgrand in front of you, I want one!

cheers man. yeah my boss is an importer and we always have these E51 elgrands in at work. some of em are pretty crazy!



so ive been enjoying just driving this and then middle of November my luck struck yet again.****!!!!!
driving into work one morning and some nice gentleman in a patrol decided you would put out on me from a side street while im doing 60-70kmph.
i saw him at the last second and swerved so he only damaged my bumper,r/h guard + flare, mirror, front door + handle + rear door. so as you can imagine i wasnt happy!







so yet another car of mine needed a tow truck lol. couldnt drive it as suspension was fucked and guard liner was rubbing etc.

really the car stood up alright for a hit at that speed.

so i wrote up my quote and got it assessed. long story short- the car took almost 6 weeks to finish but i finally picked it up xmas morning
the total repair bill came to just under $12,000


all finished now, got another wedding hooked up and also afew shows planned throughout the year.

a few pics of the repair stage:





my main reason i cant go any lower

my front bar after i fixed all my chips and scratches





painted the flares, mirror, headlight washers etc etc





then decided to paint the car :




came out ok i reckon

is that a scratch on the boot i can see?

lol no

You're a machine Dylan! Always love seeing paint and panel pics.

so got the car back together:



just to show you the finish. anyone with a white or silver car knows that you you dont get a huge reflection but in the right light etc it can look nice!





all finished and about to get detailed xmas eve:

i know you're not a fan of wheels but.......i suggest tub the rear and slap a setof 20x15 centerlines on it
