These are a few pics i've taken so far of doing my conversion. I try to take as many as i can.

So far i've taken out the old motor and gearbox. Started taking bits off the old motor and swapping to the new one. Then the battle with rust...

[Damo]

Lookin good so far, and looks like you have the same rust holes as me! Mine is red too, hmmm, coincidence?

I'll drop over tomorrow to sit on your couch and eat pizza and watch you work

[Chinny]

hahaha theres still some tequila left too. yeah suzuki shoud've put in drain holes on the front floor pans. Should be done fixing major rust this weekend.

[steve]

they did put drain holes in the front floor pans, two big ones on each side. Someone stole your holes!

[just_cruizin]

Hey Steve's had that happen to him once or twice in the past

[lump_a_charcoal]

I the bags butane shots!

[Chinny]

lolz. i'm pissed as at the moment. Just finished drilling out alu door cards for mine and hugo's sierra. couldn't do much else without making a racket for the neighbours. Hugo and pham fibreglassed some holes for me and i made a new drivers side floorpan.

[Chinny]

gotta love noverox

[Mike]

bastard neighbours wanting to sleep

[Chinny]

yeah whats with that? ffs i get about 2 hours to make noise before i have to "quiet down"

[Chinny]

woke up this morning and my carsales auto alert for sierra's came up with an interesting find.

long story short i have 2 now 91 jx with some work to be done.

Seat mount with reinforcement



me looking like an immigrant

fixing up Hugo's sierra seat mounts. same spots as mine on the driver and passenger sides. I've rewelded the cracks and cold gal them. For the worst ones i've had to reinforce with 1.6 gal sheeting. Comes out stronger than new.

If anybody wants theirs done in brisbane they're more than welcome to ask.

[Chinny]

got bored so i took some pics of stuff tonight.

Tech night would be cool, but you forget that none of us knows shit

How about we just have a pissup?

[steve]

Nice work Chinny, looks like you're making some progress huh!?

What's happening with the engine?

[Chinny]

found out yesterday why there was so much freaking rust in the floorpans... some retard covered up the drain holes and welded them up. Fixed that with a 32mm holesaw and a couple of sink plugs

working on the new white one today. I'll get it on the road this week.

[Chinny]

Thanks Damo. waiting for the angle drive kit from suzisport and three bond from my mate. going to get seals today and hopefully my exedy HD clutch arrives tomoz.

When you go camping you can do the washing up in your footwells

If you go to bunnings they actually have the metal plugs in the plumbing section that pop up to drain. They fit flush and look like they are meant to be. What's with working in mossimo kit? That like my best clubbing gear hehe.

[Scrawny]

We're going to have to ask you to leave Chinny. That kind of workmanship is unacceptable on this site!! We need to see more bird crap welding, hammertone paint and perhaps welding in sunglasses rather than helmet.

[Bruce]

Doin a great job mate. Keep up the pics. Great to see a young guy doin up a zook.

[lump_a_charcoal]

That gal sheet seems like a great option for repairing rusty sections - I might have to do it too, I have access to kilometres of it at work...

I was more impressed with the use of safety gear. Good on ya Chinny!

Gawd, now i'm starting to sound like and old bastard...

no offence Bruce

[Chinny]

Thanks for the support

[Chinny]

Didn't get much done on the red one today, just filled up the gaps in the floorpan with silicone and painted them with chassis paint. Ran around getting parts and helping hugo with his sierra. managed to get waterpump and engine mount on the white one done

[hugz]

we need some group photos chinny!

Chinny spent part of his monday teaching this young accountant how to service his sierra. An investment in the future! He's also got some door cards done for my sierra, which is looking pretty awesome
