My Chain case Oil seals arrived from Birmingham UK. I guess I've sourced my parts every where in the world now.

I love the weird Wallace and Gromit stamps that says 1.46 Great British Pounds, never seen that before in here.

Spare front signal lamps wiring and adapter bought from Scott King of USA, he's the guy whos been featured in the articles as above.

My mechanic has given up on my car and mentions that incoming buses and trucks takes too much of my time and he wants to push me away to other mechanics, sadly!

So I'm looking to move my project to Ipoh and hope he can get it sorted out. He had fixed a S600 convertible belonging to Datuk Percy of Ipoh and he has 2 certificates from London about his mechanic skills, so I am convinced!

rajin betul u tangkap gambar kev :mrgreen:

kev84 · **Posted:** Tue Apr 05, 2011 9:33 pm

u know me too much abah

anyways, long time no update, away to hong kong and macau, car was sent to new mechanic as older mechanic given up. i hope the new one can help me solve the headache

heres the migration process from kampar to ipoh. chasing the towtruck in the rain and seeing it go under the rain is hectic

kev84 · **Posted:** Thu Apr 07, 2011 6:53 am

since i went to hong kong, i bought this for HKD95 (less than 10 USDs) to kill time, since i do build the real car. best part about the kit is that u can build any of the S cars u want, S500, S600 or S800.

Also met some other nostalgic car models and hot bunnies along the way

Hot bunnies give lessons in model car building? :lol:

kev84 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 13, 2011 7:28 pm

bunnies give good inspiration to model kit building, refer to the king's speech movie, ud get the idea, lol

while i have to balance my work, my studies and my newest commitment to write on one of malaysia's largest automotive portal, zerotohundred.com, i have to take out my carburetors and overhaul myself, as per overhaul guide written by Frank Avecedo, difficult task i will do next month, once my exams will be over!

Love your tomica town.

You inspired me to buy a bunch of this stuff for my daughter and me!

Cool s600, these are awesome cars. A friend here in australia has an s800, with around 5000 miles from when new. Long story but car was barely used than sat dormant for decades. Still in great condition as was looked after but body has surface rust only. Interior still has factory plastic around sun visors!

All the best with your restoration!

kev84 · **Posted:** Tue Apr 26, 2011 11:33 am

thanks for the support man, haha, i think tomica's are hard to get in australia, yeah?

been a while ive been away from OZ. ive been been busy with CPA australia exams (yes im the bean counter) and ive went on with an unexpected purchase , nissan fairlady 300zx z31. my honda will focus on restoring while the 300zx would most likely be a donor shell for a rb26dett. its gonna be a track monster! hehe
