Im guessing roadcraft again?

Seeing that the gauge rings have come in, going to have them painted and ready to go in around 2 weeks for when I get my father to paint some interior bits, kill two birds with one stone so to speak..

also, might end up polishing up the strut bar if I get bored!

Awww! I just have to "represent" myself then. Yep already priced semis, exy but it doesn't bother me. I'm concentrating on the handling components ie. adjustable suspension, undercar braces and so on.

Buying an AutoExe lip with tax money has been abliterated, Jacob has some superficial damage that needs fixing now

Running late for work, and parking relatively close to the patio, I turned too early and hit the outside pole

Should be $600 for insurance...

I can say that the drive to work was very upsetting, as the rim was touching the wheel arch as it was ripped out..

Anyways I have pulled most of it out, but it'll need a new door skin and some extensive work to the wheel arch.. quite lucky I didnt fit the sport20 decals!

hey mate,
sorry to see/hear. that sucks.

i did the same thing a few years ago... sorta. my olds just got a rollerdoor installed, and one day it jammed a bit and i wasnt paying attention an went into it. scratched the top and sides a bit on the rear hatch.. prob the worst feeling ever to have caused something by yourself. (but i was lucky enough to get my anger out straight away punching the door back into the hinges! lol)

if you need any help or anything (i doubt i can do much from here though) just let me know!

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Hopefully when the car goes in to get repaired, im going to see how much it would cost to respray the bonnet & bumper as well, give it a nice clean look

Cheers
Marc

Didnt update my dyno results!





Im quite happy with the result even though I am not running VICS & the valve stems are worn, and im still managing to get 600kms from a tank of go-go juice!

So as it sits, plans are:

July:
- get car damage fixed.
- replace clutch.
- replace mounts.
- pay remaining debt for seat rails.
- Spray interior bits exterior colour of car - Supreme Blue
- Fit AutoExe rear strut Brace

August/September/October
- Find & fit Recaro SR3 copies
- Modify & fit Jetspeed front bar (thoughts??)
- Make custom boot install

Cheers
Marc
