My JZX100 Chaser, From Cruiser to Drifter

[Greg]

Sort off. It didn't actually turn out all that bad considering it was sprayed at night in my yard, and had to be sprayed green, then black had to be lightly sprayed over it for it to match the car somewhat, and it looks ok from about 17 miles away. haha



Got some fwd spec 18's to have for spare drift wheels off Keli for Christmas and my birthday. Got all excited when I saw the wheels and then nearly did a little wee when I saw how much thread was left on the Federal 595's that were on two of the wheels.






FWD Spec beside RWD Spec.






Now one of the wheels had been hopped off a kerb at one point so that needs a good few slaps of a plastic mallet. They don't look that bad on the car though and I reckon if I got fairly man spec spacers they'd look pretty cool on it.

ah uve ruined your kids work haha
nah man, looks good, i sprayed my front bumper on a civic a had before, there's no better feeling than doin it yourself

[Greg]

Ah I had to spray the bumper. It's way too noticeable and like a red rag to a bull with the cops. Especially after last weeks shenanigans with the feckers. My little man actually is delighted I sprayed the bumper, surprisingly enough. haha
I'll give the Volks a good clean up and refurb while they are off the car. I might even paint them.... what colour though?

[insejn]

leave them original color i guess ;-)

Gonna attempt to polish them tomorrow.


Went to the beach today to walk the dogs and managed to crack the bumper off a bit of sand of all things. So that had to be stitched..





While I was doing that I got the missus to throw the 10j Volks on the front of the car to see how they looked...








I think they look ok on the front. They are 17x10 ET +31 with a 5mm spacer. With a bigger spacer and the car lowered again it would look amazing. I'm now having thoughts of finding a pair in 18x10 for the back though. Hmmm

Did some hard parking today with my mate's Supra(which is for sale). MY car is going into the bodyshop Monday and getting tarted up and sold on. Probably for 8k, maybe more. This is basically how it'll look when put up for sale... You'll just have to imagine the fixed bumper and it having 40mm spacers on the front and 5mm on the back.
