Project: Gray Death.



  • @7f0bd5ce9c=mx3gulf:

    Sad to hear Lori, seems you don't get much luck with cars? Get a Robin Reliant and put ZE in that, at least it will float if it floods

    LOL

    Nope, me and cars just don't get on these days, lack of time and life moving forward :(



  • Bollocks to it.



  • Thank god for German Ebay

    EDIT:

    Oh, I'm back bitches, I had a little lost faith, but I got it back… I started the damn thing didn't I.



  • Is this correct that your project is back on? If so excellent news, glad to have you back on board!! ;)

    Yup.. I was looking at it the other day feeling sorry about it with the camera in hand to start taking images.

    I made the mistake of starting it up… Fell in love with it all over again, of the three MX3's I've had over the years.. 3x3 is a good number to finish on.



  • YOU WAIT UNTIL YOU HIT THE ROAD WITH A ZE IN IT FOR THE FIRST TIME

    its the same smile you get when you were going home after losing your virginity 8)



  • Ordered the last part of the exhaust system a few days ago…

    So far it's not looking good.

    The good news is that I might be on to something to make the rear end a little more 'one a kind' thanks to a nice chap in Japan, but it's going to take mad skills with a welder.



  • Outrage: Grrrrrrr

    Only thing missing is a few gaskets and a the bolts but Grrr..



  • Tw&ts, gotta take their word for it, I mean royal mail are faultless, easy way to pass the buck onto someone else, cuntzzzzz



  • Yup, I've contacted the seller, or I'll via Ebay to say it wasn't complete due to being badly packaged.

    Seller has agreed to post the missing items to me for free.

    Result :)



  • Had a good day today so hit the Equipe with a few mates,

    Dash is 90% back in.
    Clocks are all wired up.

    Boots been cleaned up.
    Parts have been sorted.
    The wooden create I've been storing parts in have been sorted and filtered.

    For the last few days the front drivers side tyre has been flatter then a fracking pancake, and dispite me foot pumping the hell out if it, then using a 12v air hose on it, nothing would inflate the bloody thing.

    Turns out, that the inside tyre wall isn't spring proof.

    So… that answers that one, and at least it went while standing still and not driving it.



  • lol that'll do it all right. Good job on the dash, progress :)



  • oh wow thankfully you were not driving when the spring did that….



  • Just picked up another Jap bargin.

    :bigok:



  • Hey guys,

    I've got some serious rear end work coming up, and was curious about a few things.

    This part:

    What would I need to cut into it, or is it a simple hacksaw jobby? and If I heat the ends up, would it be simple to remake the edges?

    As long as my bargin fits like I think it should, I'm also going to need to move the boot lock mech as that won't exist anymore.

    Would it effect anything in the way of strenght if I move it to one side? or even mount another, one each side on a self built support brace.



  • I got rid of my bootlock and filled and sanded it over, that bit comes off with the bumper and is easy to cut if you follow the crease along and its all plastic :bigok:



  • Sweet, I'd just be removing the middle part, so should be good.



  • Something is happening…

    Door scratches are from the fence :(



  • With the delivery of a few more items, I can now say.

    Collection complete:

    I have two sets of Eunos ones, one with stickers, the other without.

    Many thanks Ice Man for the MX3 ones…



  • Not much to update,

    I've spend almost three hours now removing the rust from the PS coolent pipes at the front, ready for painting, and fitted the wraparound spoiler while I fix the broken connectors on the RS one.

    Found\cured\painted some rust just under the tailgate (under the 3rd light) and test fitted the projectors and some custom wiring. (I'm at it again)
