    Most likely polybushing but i'm not 100% sure what i actually need yet. Need to have a good look underneath. Not going for solids anyways. It's never going to be a huge power car.

    Picked up a japspeed turbo elbow last night as there's a crack in the oem one. I may also have bought a PowerFC...
    That, I'm delighted to hear. Was so sad when I saw how wrecked it had been after I sold it. Well it's in good hands now

    To anyone that's unfamiliar with this car, this was her when I had her, not long before I sold it.

    I wouldn't mind but the guy I sold it to actually made it look really well, he fitted chuki skirts, pig nose bumper with lip, bomex rear wing, front 17x8.5 work wheels and 17x9.5 avs model 5s, I have to say it looked very good, but then he sold it to a young guy from west cork and that's who put it in the sorry state it's in now.
    As I said in my previous post I'm just happy it's in good hands now.

    So yesterday evening i had a quick go at doing some work on the car. As many of ye know i tend to have a lot of 180sx parts lying around, so really want this car to be complete, albeit 'not mint'. 'Donedeal mint' will suit this car just fine.

    Here are some before and after pics. The car isn't going to be cleaned until this is all closer to completion so ignore the grass and stuff. I reckon a previous owner carried hay around in it.

    I removed:
    the skirts... HUGE improvement.

    SHITE that was stuck to the dash like cigarette lighter splitters and an amp level switch.


    I added/installed:
    Jesus handle

    Sun visors (passo and driver side)
    Rear quarter cards
    rear seats
    Parcel shelf
    Boot carpet



    also picked up this japseed turbo elbow:


    I bought some wheels too but will show them when i have them in my posession.

    Discovered that this thing has a raised arm-rest which should incorporate cupholders which were a factory option. Unfortunately someone threw out the cupholder part



    I offered up the skirts and bumper and it already looks far better than the original pics. Again, haven't washed the car yet and haven't gotten a chance to take off all the stickers.



    from this angle you'd almost mistake it for a decent car

    That's not an amp meter switch, it's a lazy eye kit.
