Yeah, soon enough Morgs



Knocked out the notch is supposed to stop it from spinning, and tried again. Still nothing.



Even tried using a jack to slowly push it up, but felt as if something is gonna break :L



Took my bumper off today to fix up the lip and the bottom side. Needed to go out to help a mate, so I put on my spare bumper, forgot to screws/cable ties.
Driving along in heavy rain, puddle on the left side of road, bumper ripped right off and went under the car.

Aftermath.



Very lucky it wasn't my good bumper, only serious damage was to the number plate. Needs to be beaten back haha

Just a few minutes ago, finished putting my front end together with my "custom" front lip.
Cant tell much in these photos, will get day light ones first thing tomorrow.



Very close to scraping on my own driveway now..

CV nut needs breaker bar on it and then a nice long piece of pipe.

it wont crack loose like any other nut..

it requires constant force for almost 1/4 turn before it will be loose..

its not an easy one.. and when you put it back on.. ensure that dent in the cv nut lines up again.. if it doesn't, your not tightening it enough.

Lip isn't on the car anymore due to a small mishap hahaha. Shouldn't have taken it off-road.

I'll just leave these two pictures here for the moment. Will get better ones tomorrow

Every time I go off road hahaha
This time around, lip came off, bent front number plate (again). LOOOL

[recycle-art]

This happened today.





Fronts were easy as, just the two bolts took some time to come off.
Rears were a whole different story. Took me 45 mins to get rid of the clips that hold the brake lines, then realised I need to cut ~0.5 cm of metal to be able to get them out.
I don't have an angle grinder, so tried using a drill and kinda ended up injuring myself lol
Gave up telling myself I'll do it later with some more help.



Still perfectly legal



Currently have a massive rake going on



Excuse the cable ties poking from under the lip lol
And even the bent plate, happened yesterday off-road.

I'm really enjoying this build thread. I saw one of these rallyes, same colour for sale around the same time i was looking for a car. Was tempted to buy it but bought a '91 gx instead as it was close by. But yeah very nice car indeed mate!

[recycle-art]

wouldn't happen to be the one with a "bring your own battery" would it? hahaha I had a look at it, was a nugget.

Post up pics of your car too mate, helpful bunch around here.

Went out and got better photos of my dirty car. More than happy with the way it handles now, yet to get a wheel alignment.
