My HQ project

bought this HQ ute yesterday for 500 bucks. its at my garage (at my work) atm, and im restoring it fully. pulling the current 308 out (the owner boughtit back off me) and putting a 250 back in. after that, going thourhg a big job of restoring form scrap.
haha, pulled the seats out, they were rusted to shit.. what sucks is that itll be an automatic, but thats jsut perfect at the mo, unless something else pops up in mind.
got a vn/vp v8 gear box aswell, im going through a pace of bullshitting with the mounts and points. bugger ;P
like it so far? haha what piece of shit now , but ill be updating nearly everyday :D

So, wanna give us a run down on it's features? It's got ummm...an exhaust pipe....tail lights and the all important steering wheel. :uhoh: :slap: :shakehead

oz.. its my first project. u can laf all u want i dont give a shit.

;) Shoulda taken the blue pills.

lol.... no.

:thumbsup: Should be a fun project. Let us know how you go.

Looks like fun for you Sezz. :) Need a hand (useless as it is) over xmas gimme a yell. ;) I'll be free except for the times Im taking advantage of having my mountains back with my racer!

haha nah its all good. ive done this b4 but in bits n pieces and wasnt my cars either.
another thing, i might be getting a HR next week on satrday aswell. in absolute good nick and has only done 64,000 k's one owner.
a worked 186 motor, bright red, and white leather interior. imma drive 3 and half hours down south to go to see it. muhaha

Where is it located??? Should look at one in Newcastle on the 12th, then you can drive me home. :)

Millburra. its located 100km south of toowoomba, and its a total farm land. The guy taht owns the car used to collect them and now hes giving them away for a really cheap price. almost unbelieveable.
hes had it kept in the shed for 10 years, all covered up and well taken care of, its not even sitting on the floor, its up on planks.

i havent been there yet, but itll be excellent

Sounds alright. Definitely worth checking out!!!

We're just making space for my car in the hangar after lunch, then its all systems go.

yea, i hope itll work out ;)

making space? excellent, so ure up and ready for it huh

Yeah, I have to go out today with my mate and buy oil, oil filter new spark plugs and we should be right. :) Gonna remove and sandblast and re-paint a few bits too. ;)

omg it was so frustrating at work today. taking that whole engine+gear box out at once was easy, alltho the Crane we got fucking broke at 500kg. i dont believe that the 308+garbox was 500kg+ nope, no way. the crane is just shit. Never trust Repco!
anyway, we got the 308 out of the hq, and also got the 253 out of the other hq at the same time. the 308.. sheeze. what a bastard. i couldnt figure out how the turbo 700 gear box (vn.vp v8) wouldnt fit into the turb 400 flywheel. i kept twisting the wheel round n round, the bloody bolt threads was'nt aligned. at all. and the guy i bought the gear box off, said it would fit. i was so shitty.
after about 2 hours of trying to figure it out... i noticed, there was NOTHING wrong with it. it was fit, i must have gone high form the petrol fumes when changing the fuel pump outta the falcon. damn.
anyway, i couldnt be bothered one second, so wiht my luck and my stupidity, i asked my boss to finish the job for me (mount the gearbox with the 308), and what he did? he started using the pressure gun and bolting it from the top. next thing i know, BANG!!!!!!!!! the turbo 700 cracked 3 threads. fucking alumium piece of shit. yea. bye bye $1100. i might even have to aluminium weld it bak together. bloody shitty day.
any more suprises, im gonna sell this bitch. hoenst. ill jsut keep with my HR.

OTHER than that, things are good lol.
yes slave, i hope u get ur crx fixed soon. nothing like waiting. it sucks, get it done now ;)

Looks like alot of work man! Goodluck with the project :)

Heya Sezz, waiting for Code to get to work today then we'll be right into it all. Only 4 weeks to go until Im home too!! So you better be ready. ;)

I cant wait, beaches, no work, big house, sleeping in, going to lunch ;), burning roaches....

I have parts if you need them

Hey, thats a pretty good price to pay, but i can build myself my own 1, go the Aussies

yea sweet as.
ive got her all running, and everythings great. only needs a lil more tuning, and the body work comes last.
i dont own the HQ anymore. its my boss's now. Kinda got sick of it and i think itll be shit anyway. so im helping out instead

other than that, i got this HR and EH waiting for me in millmerran on saturday waiting to get transfered here and get rego n insurance done ;) i hope i can get it done on the same day, that way i can drive up to Autralian Nationals on sunday ;)
fingers crossed :iceslolan

3 weeks is a long away mate, but hope u hurry up coz i wanna take you out for vb. and u have better like vb

Mmmmmmm, beer, with you.... I like. ;) And Im hurrying dammit! :)

lol nice ;)

err im pissed off. my HR never came. bastard mustve sold it to someone else, but i really doubt it unless he rings me up. ive been waiting since saturday. grr!!!
i want my HR!

Really? Damn, poor bub. Lets go steal it!!!!! No, seriously!!! Ha ha... Im bored at work. :(

Im supposed to play sport for the unit today, screw that, Im working on my car cause the boss has been a prick about it, I hope we lose. ;)

yes. lets. :D

haha thats fair enough, never seen a person so eager in losing a game :D lol
working on car.. im jelous!!!! yea im quitting my work, bastard boss hasnt paid me for 3 weeks. owes me $800 in wages ;/ im oging in today and gonna get my money, if not ive been offered a position in a better location. imma say " you prick! wheres my money!" and then hell be like " oi beyatch, i have nmo money" and ill be like " liar!" and then ill punch him in the spine, and then hell cry.
he keeps buying project cars, asshole.. and i have to work on them for him. i hope he gets raped. -.-
im looking through newspapers for any condition HR's. i gotta have one. im so determined.

at least u have something to work on!

Yeah punch him in that spine baby!!! Lol.

I DO have a car to work on, some dead shit in the Civic/CRX forums is going on at me for not knowing anything about racing or working on cars, isn't my car on blocks having an engine replaced by, uhm, me? Oh, and as for not knowing racing, I better tell the Online boys and Matt Semmens I wont be hanging wit dem anymores at the drags when they break records.... ;)

haha assholes aye?
engine swaps is easy ;/ specially when its done in hq/wb utes and so on, not even, just older cars are easy to do engine swaps in. the whole gearbox comes out aswel if u want it to at one go.
if its more advanced cars, its not that bad etiher. just more electircal work instead.
i have to get me some decent blocks and a crane. so that i can have at home ready.
got this shit assed crane for work, it cost me $389 and it broke at 500kg. bastrd.

good to hear ure really onto the civic, great work dude. fuck those online assholes. all they do is bitch and eat meat all day staring at the computer screen and pleasuring themselves with their cybervirtualgirlfriends at the same time.

Yeah only hard bit so far has been getting some of the bolts off, some are way too super tight arsed. And finding time to actually work on it. Cant wait to have it done though, got my short shifter in too.

I get sick of the Civic/CRX forums at times, "Ohhhh look, I have a shitbox SOHC CRX with undercoat, no paint, doesnt run at all, but pulls a 14 second quarter mile and I've added clear tail lights and a sub with no amp to my stock stereo, how fully sick am I now!!!!" And she posted a pic, ugly, but she's telling us how hot she is, omg... Im off to die.

Least ur a hotty. ;)

lol oh shtop it :naughty:

haha nah. but yea thats bloody crazy. i kida dont like posers ;/ funny that, coz i was talking to one of the guys i met the other week, and it was quite hillarius because he thougth i was stupid. when it comes to car/mechanical talk with guys, they tend to think that if im a female i must know shit all, but thats not untill i open my mouth and have an opinion.
this guy was telling me how SIK his holden was. i came to ask him what kinda holden was it and so with his respose, says " a 1996" . fair enough i said commodore. then he started telling me about how he put a spoiler on it, and a set of shiny wheels, and a big exhaust... so he says his car is much faster now. i didnt reply.
its funny, how a lot of people, well young teens tend to thing that big exhaust means FAST! yes... fast. you stupid idiot. no comment hey..
sometimes they try to outsmart me, and i know it. they are trying to hard to say more that they know, and it ends up like a whole bunch of bullshit at once. thats when i stop asking questions, and walk away.

pshh. like the other day at work, even tho i was in my dirty work clothes, my customer came up to me and he had an EX-taxi to restore to original contidion. as in take the stickers off was the first thing to do b4 engine work. so he comes up to me and says "-points- you! with the long nails, can you come here and rip those stickers off. its the first thing i wanna do." i lookd at him, and said "i dont have long nails. unfortunetly." and i think that pissed him off. he thinks he can controll me. he comes in everyday now with new cars to restore. it pisses me offff so bad! coz he ALWAYS says "why don tyou have long nails" i mean WTF dude! are you fucking blind? god damn... infuriating

other than that, take pictures of your car. i wanna see.

Ha ha ha omfg, you're awesome. Yes, you. Gorgeous. ;)

Im hearing you on the exhaust thing, I only have twin outlets to suit my body kit, ok, will get pics for you over lunch babe.

score

guess what happened today? FUCKING SHIT ALL! (apart from the HR). on my lunch break, i thought to myself "hmm, i wander if Tony is gonna answer his fucking fone, or is he gonna have his fone off for a change" got up, and hoping for the best, picked up the fone and started dialing. i rung twice. nope, didnt pick up. even tho if it was my work fone.
10 minutes later, OOO LOOK AT THE! asshole rings back, my work mate Harry picks up the fone and says okay sezz, its for you mate. righto! i got on the fone, and all i said was " tony?" next thing i know, hangs up. omg. i HATE IT when somone hangs up on me for no reason. it really pisses me off. and specially when it comes to buying this HR.

im paing him a visit this friday night. and not by myself either.

Thats pretty weak of him. Yeah Id go see him too. Smack him once for me. ;) I should be working on my car nearly all day today as long as my boss forgets about me and stops being a total bastard. Its ok for him, his car works, I have NO work to do but he doesn't care usually. Fucker. Hopefully I can piss off this morning to buy my sparks, filter etc.

All I can really say is I am dying to be over this shit and get home for that vb....

Nope, 1/2 a day, my boss is a C&#T.

hey mate,
what the hell, that sucks dude! hopefully ull be able to get shit done today tho huh!

Yeah I should be bale to get the engine out this afternoon. get this, he'll let the whinging little shit Adam use the work van to go buy car parts for his piece of shit nissan exa which STILL DROVE, but I cant use it to buy parts for my car to MAKE it drive. WANKER.

god damn, dude im desparate for a fucking HR hey. im gonan kill ymself if i dont get it.

im selling the 253 engine anyway. jsut byitself ill get rid of it for $200, i should put a thread on that i guess. but i cant be bothered.

Bleah, my friends said Im not rice cause my CRX destroys things like supercharged mercs and turboed audi TT's on roads like Bulli Pass regularly. ;)

Aw, you'll get one, and no killing of yourself, I still wanna beer or 90 with you bub.

CRX update, motors out, new clutch, spigot, belts and drivetrain nuts coming tomorrow, should be mobile by the weekend, if not the boys are offering to come in on Saturday, I think I'm in debt to them by a few cartons of beer. ;)

awww hehe, beer is still up mate im not refusing that offer hell no.

ew, debt owing someone cartons of beer.. i rather run away than give that up..

mmm pizza.

Well its decidedly cheaper than having paid somebody to do my engine swap, and this way I can afford MORE beer. ;)

Oh my FUCKING GOD. I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant go to town again, "yeah sure, you can work on your car today, NO, you CANT leave here to buy your new clutch."

They said that because they KNOW I cant work on my car until I get my clutch. FUCKERS!!!!!!!!

I got things! Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!! But fucking hell, I bought my spigot bearing for the flywheel and the box has one word on it. Its a bright orange box with the word "FAG" on it. My flywheels got a homo in it.
