project badass '89 pao

[geoffersma]

ok well I grabbed this cheeky ride off here about a week back and finally took paossesion of it this evening.
its immaculate even if I do say so my self
big fault is the car is over fueling, but I already have a replacement carbs in the wings..
only small fault the radio will only pick up radio 1 so roll on band expander..

so it was towed home and sat in the place of my 200sx drift car

I'm a very proud owner now I must say as ive been after one of these for the past 10 years

also expect something different with this one

now pics

more later

very clean! i hope to see more of this! they are very similar to the figaro if im right!

hope to see it come along!

 

[geoffersma]

dont compare to the figaro i hate them haha, but they do have same underpinnings yes
(Y)

 

[geoffersma]

right a little update, after a little play round with some parts (more hoping as we think we new the prob) we serviced the car and wacked on a new rocker cover and got all the vac hoses in the right place.

we sort of realized it was the head gasket

so now there is an empty space where she was as she is having a 1.3 16v out of k11 micra.

so while its away ive bought a few bits

that look something like this

and some other cheesy bits

got front sus sorted

new wheels for her,

I was thinking cream centers????

new decent boots too, 50 quid for 4 yokos sweet

few more bits in the post but thats about it for now ill keep you updated as it goes, need to pop down to the workshop to get a few pics of the car as she stands

lol these things make me laugh i seen one the other day round where i live and i have to say as much as i laugh at them i like them there different they look like something the russians would knock together but they are much better looking than the figs. i hope you keep her cool mate (Y) loving the choice of wheels also

 

[paradox_]

Is it just me or do the first set of pics make it look like a scale model?

Lookin forward to see where this ends up.

[geoffersma]

[geoffersma]

[aLLeKs]

May I ask you where you get the suspension from?
I think this project will be fun btw. I like the color...

 

[geoffersma]

its front corsa coilovers, me and a friend will modify them to suit

 

[gtsnissanb]

How difficult is corsa suspension to as opposed to polo?

 

[geoffersma]
