hey guys after building a few drift cars and leaving rotas alone for a bit, the rota bug got me again, my mate had this rx4 in his shed for a while and did not touch it, originally it come from Melbourne matching numbers from factory, got sold to a guy in adelaide and he striped it all, spent 2500 getting rust fixed and panels welded in, engine bay painted and door jams,
he also got j lake to rebuild the 12a twin dizzy with rx7 internals and a large extend port, motor looks unreal like new, cost 4500 for the build on motor,
then he sold it off to my mate who just sat it in the shed, so i gave him 3500 for the whole lot and now sits in my shed getting the love it needs.
i have had the car for 2 weeks and was a bear shell so after work on the hot hot days i had to get to work on the engine bay 10 hours later motor is in and all engine bay is neat and tidy and almost ready to go just got struck cant fit gearbox with one person lol,
got the car booked in for paint in 2 months then put it all together then take her through regrency should pass no worrys as everything on car will be brand new, then the plates mr rx4 will go on as i owned mr rx3 few years ago,
i am also chasing a few parts to get the engine bay finished ill chuck i list up shortly for now here r some pics enjoy guys

Is that the yellow Rx4 sedan that was down at Goolwa gettin panel work done???????
mr rx4
01-12-2009, 07:44 PM
yeah man i reckon the guy who was working on it peter will be painting it too,
had new wheel wel welded in and new seal panels new rear garnish, had alot of cash spent on her
yelloS2Rx7
01-12-2009, 08:59 PM
It was Adam the owner of the panel shop in Goolwa who did all that work
as far as I know he was only paid a small amount for the job to start
and never got paid for the incomplete work.......
If hed gotn paid the car woulda been finished fully restoed before leaving the shop......
was suppoed 2 be built 4 a wedding, but buildin houses etc apparently took the guys cash? he promised to pay the rest, bring the car back and get it finished...
that was a few years ago now, but earlier this year due to family reasons
and customers not payin their bills.....
he shut up shop and went to live in queensland
awesome panel beater/painter man, top quality, very fussy bloke, good mate!!!
I saw that car being done.....
new pillars etc
I had him lined up to paint my Rx3, Im spewin he left!!!!
pity he never finished it too, I luv Rx4 sedans and the factory yellow man!!!!!!!
mr rx4
01-12-2009, 09:08 PM
na sounds like different car i got the name and number off the old owner who got it painted must be a twin of mine
mr rx4
02-12-2009, 05:15 PM

yelloS2Rx7
02-12-2009, 05:36 PM

there WAS only one crash shop in Goolwa....
Good luck with it!!!!!

are you going with the ida webber style set up or s4/s5 manifold injection set up?? i remember my rx3 coupe i had with a race bridgeport, everytime i started it i'd be grinning from ear to ear :)

goodluck with it.

The reason Goolwa Smash shut down was due to the owner having an ice problem and the inability to complete work or even show up at the workshop. As for the quality of work, he was as rough as guts, so many complaints about the quality of workmanship, the length of time to even have a quote submitted to the insurance companies. The work I had done there was below average, the paint being very motley and full of shit due to lack of a real booth.....
