Scored a little gem! Also ideal 1st car or cheap capable 4WD

Here is a couple I am considering:

Third one I reckon

Agreed that one looks the goods.

Also liking the first. Simple black scheme with the polished alloys will look good.

Wish I was savvy on photoshop or something to add the colours schemes to a feroza photo to get a look at the end result. Can look at other cars online for an idea.

Did a couple of little upgrades. Found a few little things needing tlc. Missing 4 bolts from rear top of canopy. Thanks donor Feroza for those.
Second horn was unplugged. Now not such a Barina-esk beep. More a boop.

Added plush seat covers but find I'm sitting up about an inch higher. Made for a nicer drive to Melb and a sleep on the way home after spending 6 hours in St Kilda. Seat lays right back and comfy as.

Time to clear some space for a dual battery set up.

Reused the pod filter from the Donor-Roza

Cold air induction? Will an esky do? Making a heat shield today to prevent the induction piping heating up.

Scrounging in my scrap bin for some heat shielding today. Surely I have some aircraft lightweight shielding I've bin dived for somewhere

Genie extractors I've had stored for 18 months to go on with a new 2.25" stainless system in 2 weeks. Will be a noisy drive to town with extractors on only.

Ha ha, have the eski job

[KWhorenet]

Once the heat shielding is in it should do the job. The eski around the pod probably does very little once on the move but it does limit air from in front coming through the grill/headlight area away from the radiator's convection.

The tubing and air-box on top are what get hot and reduce the air density the most. More so than sucking in warmish engine bay air.

Had just drank the last sip of iced rum n pepsi, my BAC must have reached 'creative' mode. Was thinking of what to use...maybe a bucket or wrap some sheet metal into a cone shape. Checked the photo I took of the Pod Filter installed and voila ding ! there it was sitting there haha.
Seems to get enough flow and has a new throat note too.

Not going to go with the fully sick bonnet scoop option?

[KWhorenet]

Nah no scoops or flutes. The fo-sun roof thing is already more left over 80's crap than I can accept. Have some strips of rubber guard flaring to add if the mud tyres poke out and a long range tank when I score one. So flip roof, bolt-on's and drop tank? Is that enough 80's/90's fad for you lol

Toying with the Snorkel idea. Not thinking water crossings anytime soon though. Unless I lose it into my own dam mucking about.

Actually a couple of my dams are low and wouldn't be bad for practicing through the mud and water with the tractor at the ready

[Lorgar]

Don't forget the thick 80's muscle car stripe painted down the middle.

The more it clashes with the maroon and the worse it looks the better

[KWhorenet]

warm apricot GT stripes it is then !

Ahhh the memories growing up and slagging off the local bogan money pit as it groaned past us on BMX's....
Pinkish - Purple Sunbird Torana tarted up to be a poor mans 6 cylinder 'SLR 5000' with Ford 12 slotters, bogged in flares, arse jacked up about 45 degrees, massive alloy drop tank and a stick on scoop with no hole cut into bonnet. Has to be the epitome of Tasmanian bogan 'Hot Rod'. Didn't see him pick up once.

And the bigger the screws holding the flared wheel guards on the better.

Doesn't matter it's half a kg of plastic. All to be at least 1/2 inch wide each and be 10 of them
