TOP_FUEL · 04-12-2005, 09:50 PM

This is our firebird.. as u can see its in mint condition..lol :D
We are ordering a 600hp crate motor for it in 2 months and all the parts are on its way, ordered from classic industries in the US... At the moment the car is just the chassis and the panels u see are gone...
We hav stared cutting out the floor and it should be dun in around a year lol :D

We hav faith lol this our other firebird which started in the same state as our convertible

Oh and here is Lance's skyline

Nice cars dude. I like the coupe alot. The convertible got the potential but its gonna take a while to get it too look as nice as the other one. Who is lance? cos he's skyline is hottt.

v8_king · 04-13-2005, 10:20 AM

I hope u go to say this to lance... "Greetings from Finland! I saw a pic of your skyline and thought.... Damn!
That's one Fcuking ugly car!! change the bodykit to something better and change the chrome wheels to
some more racey. Best wishes Firefly" or how u end a letter.. dunno. the birds look damn sweet! atleast the
coupe x) but I hope to see some more project pics of the conv.

damn that firebird grille is awesome.

and that kit for the skyline is ugly as hell. is it an r32?

ckg690 · 04-13-2005, 10:35 PM

that's pretty shweet. My neighbor has a '70 T/A fully restored..it's a beast.

The Skylines looks like a R33 GTS. Helluva a ricey kit though imo. Cool color though.

agreed.... that skyline looks riced! but i guess whatever floats their boat

TOP_FUEL · 04-14-2005, 04:20 AM

Umm the crate motor has like 800-900nm of torque or sum crazy amout like that!!! its almost double a Ford F6 Typhoon

but i guess its a pissy 6 cylinder

So it should go pretty well.. if u look at the windshield on the conv i already got a speeding ticket hehehehe...

Oh and the skyline isnt that riced coz:
A: there are no stickers on it...
B: it has alot of under the hood mods...
C: i said it isnt tooo ricey

But he got the front veilside skirt replaced coz he smashed it... not that sever tho... but wat do u expect with a car like that... its made to be driven fast and it is a R33 imported from Japan for about 35grand in Aussie dollars which is like 27grand in us dollars

but it still doesn't give it right to look stupid

I mean those chrome rims... uuuuugly , and that front kit.. veery ugly

something little less curvy or something else would suit better.

ckg690 · 04-14-2005, 07:58 PM

I personally think Skylines look best stock.

Plus, just because a car is fast, it doesn't mean it's made to be crashed lol. It's called control...

TOP_FUEL · 04-15-2005, 03:02 AM

i guess u may think its butt ugly but here are a couple more pic so u can seee wat its like.. sorry im not putting [img tags] on coz it stays full size and it makes it look weird.... i guess every1 has there own opinions but when u put it next to a 2fast 2furious car.. it dusnt look riced

Other than the fact that it's a skyline, there's not 1 thing I like about that car. The exhaust, whole kit including the wing, the rims, and the color, all not my taste.

I wouldn't drive that car if it were given to me, honestly. I would sell it and use the money to fix up my mustang. :P

v8_king · 04-22-2005, 08:42 AM

hey nick, post up sum pics of the car... or whats left of it, lol, just the chassis.

TOP_FUEL · 04-22-2005, 06:44 PM

hawk_196 · 04-22-2005, 11:48 PM

that skyline makes me want to hurl.

and

D: A ricer most likely couldnt afford a skyline in the first place..

Looks nice that skyline.. chrome wouldnt be my choice in rims tho.

That fire bird is a bit beaten up but as a project is perfect. If it turns out like your last.. i carn't wait to see it.. what would it be worth "$" before and after restoration?
