Killed the battery and melted the insulation off my earth cable, and other amp wires.
I burnt myself ripping them off while they were still smoking and smouldering and threw the battery outside.
Was all good, bit of bad luck. Just gonna rip eveything out of the boot and start again i think.

What a shit box! you pay my car out - but at-least mine doesn't try commit suicide!

Which ever way you look at it, at least Dave's not driving something specifically designed and built for hairdressers. He'll always be one up on you, regardless of the situation.

Lol you always pop your head in at the time when someone needs to be owned!

Now send me your list dammit!

If this car is a shitbox, wtf do you think the rest of our cars are?

Blown XR8 that gets driven hard, what more could you want?

this mitch guy sounds like some 318i driving fag that cant snowboard

I thought it was a 325 Jared. either way, it's still a hairdressers car. Suits you perfectly Mitch

I dont think you really want me to answer the first question...

hmmm - seems it cant be driven hard ... it tried to ignite itself - my car sat on the limiter all day...

You try finding a job with no qualifications Mitch. It's nearly impossible ATM. Gotta survive somehow!

Ease up guys. Hairdressers drive MX5's. Pov pack BMW's are for cashed up bogans.

dont let this turn into yet another fight thread. too much of that shit happening lately

nah we need to get this out in the open, ever since mitch and dave split up there has been hostility in the air, its best they get it out of their system, have angry makeup gay sex, then go their seperate ways.

Love this thing! Loved it when it was heritage as well but black just looks horn... Lets see some more pics..

I'm guessing J man is Steady, and PSI.V8 back at it's real home means VIC

Cant be much to overhaul on it though, exterior is as mint as can be. Maybe custom interior?

yea its back in vic him and jared drove it down a few months ago.... dunno i cant remember whats wrong with it have to ask dave.... needs a pretty decent tidy up i think or somethin... pete dont think he means exterior prob more like suspension fucked maybe clutch diffs fucked if i know lol... he can update

Mitch was having a crack at Dave..... Nothing wrong, ****, mates have cracks at each other where your from yea?

yeah back in vic, dave wants to do interior, stereo, diff/suspension and just general tidying up once he's got his money right.
was nowhere to work on it at his place on the gold coast so brought it back to vic.
i found some pics of the drive back on my cameras memory card the other day actually, if i remember will put them up tomorrow.

would be great to see it in a magazine

this car needs some top photos

hell yeah.

nah the rack is leaking pretty bad, was a minor issue on the drive back, won't be fixed before then i don't fink

ill fix it.....well john can.....
dave hurry up and see this and come home for good....

If its not coming does that mean the Sprint will be on FR's?

Glad I saw it before it left. Hawt.

I reckon sell the FR's to me to fund this overhaul

haha, no queue jumping!!

might put them on sprint for cruise for charity, it depends if i get excited and can be bothered swapping them

Ill help ya swap em ya lazy kent..... maybe

lol... the FR's would be under lock and key?

Finally an update!!!

Car is back in VIctoria. Big thanks to Steady, for flying up, having a few beers at my crib and then driving it back with me a few months ago.
Had a leaking steering rack on the way back. Thanks to the guys who did the rebuild a couple of years ago!!!
Jared is pretty well spot on with the stuff i want to do.
*Clean up and polish the FR's, as there are a 2 rims with small buckles (Thanks Canberra roads!), get that all sorted out, so they''re 110% again.
*FInally wire up the dual battery setup, completely rip out the stereo, and rehash it all, with a decent looking and sounding setup in the boot mainly, but also the cabin side of things.
Re-do any bushes, etc that need to be done. Shouldn't cause they're all newish.
*Replace all the suspension, maybe raise the front with some Superlows, rather than the Ultra's that are in it atm.
*Rebuild a completely new diff, with 3.45's or 3.7's, with potentially a Kaaz i reckon.
*Clean up anything else to make it into what i always wanted it to look like.
*Perhaps clean up the engine bay a bit, but its still gonna look ugly, until i can rip the motor out. But its still running strong for the moment, and if its coming out, it will be off the the road for a while, cause i wont do it half arsed for whatever goes back in.
(Always had a 351 stroked to a 420+ cube, then turboed as an idea. But i reckon i'll want something that'll rev!
But this will be a long way off yet!

John, i had the main guy from Strret Fords leave a business card on my car when it was parked at the Nats a few years back for a mag spread. Rang him, and had a chat, but then never got around to doing it all.
Maybe when it's all done this time...
I've still got the pics you and Kristy took of the car, in frames around my place. Glad you both got a drive of it when you guys were up here!

The FR's aren't under lock and key. I've never even had lock nuts on them for years. LOL
They're Steady's to use for a while, until I get this thing back on the road!

Good plan mate! cant wait to get my hands dirty on this thing!

I'd love to see/hear this in person... black EL XR kit looks sexual....
