Austarion

Alright thought it was about time i bothered to post some progress and put speculation to rest that if i do in fact actually own a starion.


When I first got it:










Nowizzle:

Basically I've fixed:
-the front that got minced, put on a JB bar (needs painting)
-repainted most of the black parts gloss black
-got fresh tint
-cleaned the rims with chemicals (they are horrible offset tho, FWD :()
-cleaned up the engine bay
-replaced the intake manifold that was leaking water from cracked bottom water jacket
-full service; (dizzy cap, rotor, oil, most hoses, oil seals, thermostat)
-custom top gun 8.8mm leads
-custom crossover pipe (not fitted atm as not happy with the bend in the pipe)
-resprayed classic red before i got it (get many compliments, better then the standard red)
-Re trimmed seats before i got it (ralliart embroidered )
-Reconditioned rear lights/filler panel. looks much nicer (this took me fkn ages!!!)

Stuff I still gotta do:
-Fit wide body front mount (in Shed)
-install 3" dump pipe (in the shed)
-remove cannon muffler
-paint front end
-remove and recondition power steering
-fit oil cooler (in shed)
-replace cluch and rear seal
-replace diff (rattles on deacceleration/cornering)
-Rebuild gearbox (doesnt really need this, but its clunks into 3rd every now and then, and im fussy!
-17" Rims! I know what i want, just waiting for funds

Dont think i missed anything....

The basic story of getting this car was a drawn out process, thing was never looked after and needed heaps of TLC, which i have put in uncountable hours and the funds are getting up there now also.

But all in all I'm pretty satisfied with her progress to date, it has been used as a daily driver lately because I haven't had another car for a while, last one blew up and all spare cash goes to saving for motorbike, starion upgrades and living expenses take up the rest.

Bri :D

Looks good!
I like the seats! very cool....
