changing the steering wheel.

ok this time i had to change the steering wheel because the wheel had given me a cut.. and the previous owner used piping tape to tape up the steering wheel.. so i had a whole 3 hours to change the steering wheel so long because the original bosskit was giving me alot of problems.. but the end result is as stated below.. i bought the steering wheel for rm120 a cheap rip off of the nardi wheel.. but its very comfortable and easy to handle.. another diy... a tip if you want to diy.. make sure you have all your tools.. like for me the allen key for the steering wheel was given.. so i had an easy time removing the steering wheel but i had a big problem unscrewing the big nut in the middle of the bosskit... its an old car soo i had to be a bit rough on it.. but eventually i changed it, but another problem came in where the horn button was not fit to be used in the old bosskit so i had to use the old horn.. kinda oldskool meets new skool..

respraying the b310 120y

this is the time where i really needed to paint the car.. diy painting the back of the hood.. i had to take it out to makesure i'd spray the whole thing evenly.. i'd recommend a good brand like matahari, i like the brand of paint cause it sticks and doesnt come out easily.. but you can try and error with a few brands.. and makesure to tape up the place that you dont want to spray.. hahahah or you'll end up like me..

DIY bodywork..







ok so during this time i had to do some bodywork because the car was rusting in a lot of places... so this is some of the work i did to the car...

b310 120y aircond hose rubbing


ok so during this day.. its already February so its time for my car to make a mess out of everything.. so during a late night drive with zamil and ilman my car had a great problem the radiator hose blew its lid.. cause the
hose was rubbing against the aircond wheel.. so this was the image after the ESPLOSION!!!!!!!.. litteraly the hole car was wet.. hahaha not in that sense.... so after the incident i had to send it to the workshop.. ok, this happend after chinese new year.. so all of the service shop was closed.. i had to wait 1 week just to changed the hose.. after i changed it.. i had to zip tie the hose....

first problem of the b310 120y

ok so here is one more update about the car, the meter is kinda fuzzy.. only on certain cays the car will show its real reading, the petrol tank reading on my right is just a lie. on the day i had to drive this car.. the tank was saying half tank, half way through the journey my car died. yup the car had no gas.. so the meter was A LIE!!!... i really felt what an oldskool cars feeling... i mean i now only know what a car enthusiast feels.. eventhough you think nothing really needs to be changed, it will always need changing someday.. haih....

Early start of the B310 120y.

ok so in january 2011 i got my first 2nd hand car. its supposed to be my very own project car so that i could drift it in the future. the cars original owner was a chinese guy, so i thought "hey no problem right the car should be in good condition." hahaha i was wrong. but let me start of with just a minor mod to the car. i was so excited at first when i got the car i really wanted to get a hands on feel about the car so i started small repainting the wiper arms black again.. so on my left there is the finished version of me sand paper-ing the wiper arms.. but its just a normal mod so not much has been done to it.. so after i've completed re painting the wiper arm is started to realize that the wiring in the car had gone cocko!!.. the lights were out, the light switch was not in the right place and i have no radio.. hahaha.. and the main thing is that the wind screen is leaking.. i have a lot more updates.. to come.. just found sometime to update this blog..
