Not doing thiss again…

Put the motor in the Laurel today
Since its at standard height i ran into a few problems with not being able to get the motor high enough with my block and tackle

So i had an idea… i let the tyres down and stood on the windscreen while i lowered it in

She worked a treat!!! So now its in and just needs the details finished off

Underway…

Matt just sent me this pic

He just picked it up and is now on the way home. STOKED!!!

SURPRISE!!!

On Monday afternoon Matt from Vegas rang me saying he’d just driven past an r32 on the side of the road for $500…

I said find out more! 10 minutes later we had brought an r32 Skyline for $400!

Only downer is that its a CA18i… but still not complaining for $200 each :)

Have since arranged an sr20 and loom for it so will have updates to come!

One day…

I’ve always had a HUGE soft spot for old school cars

Whether it be an American or a Japanese car, the old school has always tickled my fancy, and one day when i’m old enough and mature enough i want to build old cars

I have a dream of one day owning a Hakosuka and I would also love a “lead sled” American cruiser

Also one day I would love a shed full of old cars and old crap that I could just get lost in and spend days engulfed in the wonders of it

Crashed and burned

As ben already posted up . I crashed at Hori Dori 8 …

Its not too bad . Just broken headlights and a dented bonnet, bumper iron and ego

Heres some pics of once i got it home

Heaps more videos on my Youtube channel of HD8 . So have a browse

 

And of  course . I have to post up these wheels . The first set of the day . That were simply “Destroyed in seconds” . Must have been some serious heat . Or some seriously bad tyres for this to happen :D

Hori Dori 8 Post Match

Nathan and I shared the driving at this HD.

He did most of the morning and then we did 50/50 on the afternoon course.

The following pics are from Duncan, who was giving photography a go for the first time. I reckon he did an awesome job!

I’m in the orange overalls with the sunglasses and Nathan’s in the blue overalls. As you can see the damage isnt too bad from when nathan hit the wall

Met a guy at the track who was a real GC. His name is Steve and he has huge potential as a driver

He was keen on some battles so we gave it a go

Some Awesome shots in the lot so once again a HUGE thanks to Duncan for the pics!

It really was an awesome day and was run really well :)
