The Purple machine diary..
New week, new start of life..
Alrighty guys, as you all know, upon pulling apart the new gsr..i wasnt expecting to see as much killer rust as what was on the car..rust in the fuel cap area, rust in the pillars..everywhere.
Sunday
- the car was put on a large noisey Dodge truck, taken to some country pumpkins house..
Tuesday
- I recieved the new rebuilt engine bought 2nd hand - Cheers Adrian
aka 'rocketgsr'
Will be giving it a freshen start with some new bearings and rings..I've inspected the crank bearings and they are a tad bit worn..am yet to inspect the rings. New water pump is on the cards..
The goodies such as the work head will be taking the stock heads place.
- Work commenced on prepping the purple cordia..you may think prepping? what prepping?..
Id just like to say firstly that Goran did a fantastic job on chosing the killer colour it has now, but with extra careful prepping and spraying..the car woulda came out minter..(also there were shit loads of dings - my fault as well)
..the purple cordia is getting a colour change, something thats not too common but has sex appeal
will be keeping it hush hush till 2 week from now..new lick of paint should be going on by then
- Got bored in the early evening so i started to polish up the thermo stat ready for the new set up..
enjoy the pictures..
cheers
peace
