Will be sanding and painting them most likely black.. or something to suit my red engine bay.. lol

All iv got left for my new engine is re-ground cam, HD springs, new rings, possible elec ignition.. and probably one other things iv forgotten, or something else that'll pop up that I want for it :twisted:

Mod the mounts to make it closer to teh car?

I always get asked about it, but bulls*#t my way around it.
Its a defect for not having one.

Been pulled up at least 3 times asking about the bumper.

my bumper mount holes are still there, and the bog's cracked out of my tow bar holes also.

if your going to do it, make sure you get them filled in, as thats the first give away.

maybe try find a bumper that you could mod to fit, that'll fit nice and close, then paint it the same color as your car.

Well.. this car has been highly neglected over the last few months.

Lost my licence for 4months so put her away, then went away for another 4months to the snow. Left her out of the garage covered.

Came back to the tarp being blown off from all the bad wind and weather Melb's been having and it sure isnt pretty.

puddle on my passenger floor
mold all thru the car
f*#cked paint ( lucky is mat spray can black ) ;)
chrome wheel rings are rusted out
and probably alot more that i havnt even seen yet

Started her up and started first shot surprisingly.
Took her for a drive and everything seems to be fine so far.

Will get some photo's up shortly.

so here'a photo of what she looks like now.. this is after afew weeks of giving her afew good wash's and a little bit of maintenence..

driving home from work the other night, i spot 2 bins laying down in the middle of the road. go between them, just making it. look in the rear view mirror to see how small the gap was between the 2 bins, then look forward again only to realize there's f*#cking forsale sign laying down infront of me on the road. i go straight over the top of the thing.. driving home i hear a noise coming from the car every time i turn left. so think, "when i get home i'll check that out" get home, get out of the car and head to the rear first, only to see nothing, check the hole car and cant see anything, so go and check the front only to find a huge metal steak poking out the front..... wasnt happy. so ripped it out and took a photo in the morning.

pissed off..
