wouldn't mind taking it to willowbank..hmm

[sweetspirit]

Replace it

[lost the plot]

here's some pic's of my ute has anyone done a matte/flat color before

And what to do with the inside

[JTFG]

Getting it converted to Lpg...with the Emer Injected system

[LukeyST]

To fix;
* Clutch feel - new bushes at cable/pedal link point - DONE
* Warped rotors (massive pulse under brakes) - ordered DBA 4000's today (so semi-done)
* Dead air-con pump - need to get replaced, it does nothing at the moment besides make a dull whine
* Lifter tick - still have it, after replacing all lash adjusters and shims, now trying heavier oil (tried 15w, no good, put 20w in yesterday ... giving it some time to bleed)
* Cleat coat coming off wing - will take wing off and run wing-less while it gets re-coated

Theres a few other little things that need attention also.

After all of the above issues are rectified i may get round to some performance mods, rather than fixing problems :

[loxxr6]

Tune up, repaint part of bumper bar. Try to clean it more regularly.

- Fit LSD Diff and lowered rear springs (need to reset them lower this time) DONE
- Finally do the manual conversion (booked in next wednesday) DONE
- Put the pacemakers and 2.5inch system on from my old wagon DONE
- Fit the Ghia interior from the wreck i have bought STARTED
- Try and get my act together and rebuild the windsor motor sitting in the shed (stroke it first) MAY CHANGE THIS PLAN
- Stereo install with custom fitted side panels in the rear to cater for some 6x9's NOT DONE
And plenty more little fiddly bits and pieces that i could keep on writting about for hours.

Pretty much if i finish most of this i'd be happy.

Well some of my plans have been completed but a lot lot more needs to be done. Lets hope the year of 2011 can bring bigger and better things!! (Maybe even a 9" diff in the first quarter)

Pretty self explanatory really, kind of an AU New Years resolution and may be of interest to some to look back on at years end to see what they planned and what they actually did.

My plans are simple. Get it back on the road in the next 6 weeks, drive and enjoy it for a little bit and then sell up.

Wow!

I actually stuck to a plan!!!

No plans but lots of wants, all depends on how much money i have
-manual conversion
-au2 brake upgrade
-new tint
-new wheels - Done

Such a shame shes been sitting in the back yard for the last 3 months un-used

Some of the comments about b-series sure are interesting though, especially from those who ended up upgrading or side stepping? lol

now... could someone please lend me $30,000
pleeeeeeeeeeaaase!!!!!

As you can see, my plans were VERY optimistic.. but, I kinda did a few...

Fitted the V8 (ok, its not a 347 like I wanted, but it's a start)

Adaptive shift auto (again, not quite to plan, but shifts alot better than standard)

Fitted LSD with 3.45:1 (not as good as the KAAZ and 3.9's I was hoping for but still nice and tight)

Sunroof.. (It's here, just not fitted yet)

Paint (obviously I meant a full respray.. NOT DONE YET..)

New Wheels.. (Put the TS/TL/Rebel Wheel on so I guess I got that right)

Overall I stuck close to the list....... yeah..?

[Mr Hardware]

I failed hard.
In fact, I don't think I did a single thing to my AU all year apart from change its oil, tyres & battery.

[ronwest]

Well my paint and custom leather seats didn't happen.
I spent very little time on the car last year. A couple of grandkids slowed me down but I really thought that I'd move up (or rather 'on') to a BF2. Had one for a week a didn't like much about it :(

No plans this year. It'll be too embarrassing having to admit to further slackness in next years thread :(

i'd like to retint rear windscreen, but won't get around to it. and i'd like a new sticker for the rear windscreen - jetpilot sticker is dying

wow, didn't think i'd be that correct..

was washed a few times through the year, had someone else service it, didn't tint the windscreen (but got a quote months ago) and never touched the sticker

Well, house didnt sell, but it is being rented out, so we done none of that, dismantled it and bought a BA, lol.

Bushbasher

Airod for wagon - check

Slotted BA rotors and calipers for 'lane - check

then life, maintenance and a lack of disposable cash got in the way so nothing else made the list.
