My never ending sileighty build

[jeff nelson sileighty]

Well lads finally copped on and decided to start a build thread :rolleyes:
i bought this car over a year ago and it looked like this.....
http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/19052010149.jpg
well she didnt stay like that for long cause i had started at rd1 in fermoy last year with a 2litre sierra and thats what brought me to buy this so my first time driving this was at puncestown last year and twas my first time drifting and long story short the car straightend and ploughed into the wall so we got everything sorted and set out for rd3 at citywest and the fuckin thing happened this was how she looke after it......http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/28012011485.jpg
she doesnt look too rough but in person she was dog rough anyway got all mechanical stuff fixed and said fuck the bodywork and set out for rd4 in mondello...just the one shot of her up there....http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/02112009079.jpg
well the full season up till rd5 was shite for me so next round was the final in fermoy and for some reason something just clicked which saw me in the top 32 battle which was great but was against martin o meara and i had standard power so you can guess how that went :rolleyes:
anyway on to this year i started with all mechanical shtuff i bought a power fc a z32 afm and set off to robbie at tdp to get her mapped i got her back with 267bhp which was a huge improvement cause i would have been lucky to have been seeing 220bhp before..i also fitted 5stud hubs and brakes from mike fitz's sil80 so after i started on all body work...i bought 50mm quarter panels off bart from just jap which i started to do this to http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/09112010196.jpg you either love it or hate it i bought some nice wider wheels off stevo which were 8j's on the front and 9 on the back a big step up fom my 7j's ssr's haha so i painted them to match the black and white theme i was going for http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/04012011420.jpg
and i had also bought a uras bumper off bart which looked like this http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/230620111046.jpg next i bought a boot with lexan glass of frank doherty before... http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/14032011599.jpg
and after http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/04032009667.jpg
so next up was rd1 in ennis and it was good but wound up abusing the back end a bit which resulted like this http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/16012009705.jpg it destroyed the kouki lights so i bought a set of these http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/13052011816.jpg off ste who im sure regretted selling them so cheap when he saw how they cam out like this http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/13052011817.jpg well worth the 50 quid :cool: :grin: so brought her out to will whelan at whelans crash repair who got her looking minty mint
and this is pretty much how she stands now http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb369/jeff-nelson/Photo09.jpg im fairly happy with how she looks i have a pair of blister wings to go on and im just waiting for some 50 mill spacers off egay so cant wait to see how shell loook then :cool:

[jeff nelson sileighty]

well its been a long time since i updated this so here we go
i finally got my dmax front wings which were 50 mil wider :cool: but in very rough shape http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/160620111020.jpghttp://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/160620111018.jpghttp://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/160620111016.jpg
so i set about patching them up which took a serious amount of work... i had to makee up a full front tip of one of them :rolleyes: but this is how they came out http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/200620111031.jpghttp://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/200620111030.jpg
i was fairly happy considering they were done with rattle cans anyway heres a pic before they were put on http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/120720101141.jpg
and after http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/120720101140.jpg :D:D:D they make an unreal difference to her appearance and this was the line up outside my house one day :)http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/160720101173.jpg the sexy pajero junior at the end has been replaced by a mk1 mr2 :wink:
anyway next up was a practice day in mondello and the poor car came back a little worse for wear.....fuel pump was wanked aaaaaand me being me i decided to greet the back end with the pit wall :rolleyes:
so i brought her out to one of the lads sheds and set to work on it http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/210920111314.jpghttp://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/210920111315.jpg also i dragged poor paul stryker (Drift_Sil80 on here) all the way down from kerry at 10 o clock at night to give me a hand (thanks very much you know i appreciate it) we finished up at 4 that morning with her looking pretty much like this http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/220920111321.jpg i had school the next day which was fun coming in reaking of filler and pure wrecked but straight after school i went back out and got her to this stage http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/220920111330.jpghttp://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/220920111329.jpg again all done with bloody rattle cans :p
and she left like this http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/230920111332.jpg i also fitted the bgw from when i bought her i think it suits her :)
thi is how she stands now and im fairly happy with it but as with all projects ill keep fiddling with her :rolleyes:http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/IMG_3460.jpghttp://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/jnelson19/315973_181907651891816_100002177475978_390120_1651 61157_n-001.jpg
at the moment shes sitting at mike deanes before drift fest on new years eve waiting for a new manifold and skyline discs and callipers cause at the moment my hydro is shockingly bad i actually snapped the mountin bracket for it the last day cause you have to pull it so hard to get it to lock up :rolleyes: but all going well that will be sorted for new years eve :)
