So after an awesome SS party on Saturday night at Jehan's place and Autosalon on Sunday, Monday came. Met up with the tow truck driver to bring Dim's 200sx down from Rowville. Shev was spendin the weekend in Queensland so Sandy kindly offered to come help out for the day. Here is sandy for those of you who don't know him:
He works at Vodafone Bourke Street and is currently single. He enjoys long walks on the beach and works out, but unfortunately drives a Honda.The dramas began when mum greeted us n the sidewalk as we unloaded the 2nd car in 4 days. I guess I should have warned her. But I didnt think she'd notice amongst the Fairmont...Commodore...Honda...Skyline...Stagea... oh and lets not forget THE FORKLIFT!.. But yeh she whinged and Mr Rupasinhe the tow truck driver pretended to care and understand her dilemma before he did a runner claiming to have "another job"
Trying to remove the old ignition barrell from the 180 was a pain in the ass(We dont have he keys so all the locks need to be changed) We'd find out later the only way to remove the barrel was to Grind it off. I'm all for power tools but it just seemed wrong.
Although Kasun denies this. We believe it was him that disconnected the steering column from the rack so the wheels could be turned. Re-connecting this was a bitch, not helped by the fact that I had to cop dad's abuse for 2 hours as he "helped".
The 180 was pulled out and the 200sx was given the garage. Tomorrow I will borrow Sherard Uncles Engine crane and start pulling out the Engine.Here's A list of things the 200 will be donating:
Engine, Updated Sr20 DET blacktop with VCT. (more info on the engine specs here)
Wiring Loom.
Full 5-stud Conversion and Brakes (Still dunno if its possible)
Front seats
Thanks Sandy for all the helps today!
And a pic of the Gorgeous Engine to finish up:

whos that hot guy in the red? did you say he was single? but since he drives a Honda he must be gay though :(
Haha sandy is far from ghey. Iv'e read his Phone messages ;) Ladies he is very Buff. unot overly Tanked. in his words "I don't want to get too big, after all my body has to be in proportion with my little tool"
wow mad project shev & amal. you both gotta come up to DECA with me next year once it's done so you can give it a good shakedown on the skidpan and backtrack =)
if you go the 5stud conversion, what offset wheels would you need? i've got a set of 17*8 +30 and 17*9 +38 you could borrow... that's if the offset is right though.
oh and my mate manages a tyre store so he can hook you up with cheap second hand rubber for practicing etc. might even be able to get sponsorship or something. he can also get you new rims/tyres if you need it, pretty good discounts too.
