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!

by **LOW_XR** » September 29th, 2012, 6:26 pm

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.

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.****!!!!! :banghead:

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.

by **LOW_XR** » January 6th, 2013, 3:51 pm

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 :cry:

by **LOW_XR** » January 6th, 2013, 3:59 pm

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 :lol:

by **bentls** » January 6th, 2013, 4:40 pm

by **LOW_XR** » January 6th, 2013, 5:06 pm
