My new Zealand 1985 Build

[Seedy Al]

hey guys
Just found this web site, such a mint site for information and ideas.

So my ride, Well, I have had it two weeks, Got it off a friend in a car swap deal

its a 1985 Super Carry, so f10a and 5 speed
Im using it as a daily at the moment, so I havnt modded it to much,
So far just lowered it, and had a play with different wheels options

So pics

This is what it looked like the day I got it


Since then, i lowered it (its lower in the back than the front at the moment)




Then, found a mate who has these wheels for sale


So, tried them on the ride





Theya re 13x7 with 195/60's on them, But i wouldnt run those tires.....

So, as you can see they stick out alot
SO i had some flares kicking round as a trial fit








So thats as far as I have got, just trying things out at the moment.
AS for engine etc, going to see abotu the whole g13b, Its what I suggested to my mate, and after looking on here, I know it would be a lot of work, but would be so Fun

[Brayden]

175/50 tyres are what you need mate!

[Jermaine]

[mightyboy]

your van inspired me, so i took it and had a bash on photoshop.



if you resprayed it, it would be shinier! but im not that good.

[JohnnyB]
