so ive decided 2 take my little weapon off the road
its currently 2.2L pinto with head work race pistons 45mill webbers nice paint sterio etc etc
ive pulled everything out everything off
ive just swapped my carbies for full sierra injection stripped the engine bay dwn cut off my heater bubble and welded up the hole quiet nicely
ive grinded out all the spot welds and filling them up so my whole engine bay will be smooth,trust me its quiet an effort haha
also might be mini tubbing the arse end if its not 2 much effort

theres are the photos of wat she use 2 look like

im not going 2 have it ready 4 that cruz in april..so im kinda sad lol.. thinking of painting it a purple colour not sure.. so hard 2 make up my mind..

dont ya have a demister for rego ? [xo], but if they dont know it dont hurt em ey ..gonna fog up in winter tho, no fan to blow warm air around[:-(]

just put the window down lol.. i drive with the window down 24/7 it just kills me when its up even in the rain lol

started on the guards 2 day.. gotten rid of the lip and rolled the guards so it wont scrub etc... now they dont have that square lip its all round and looks better i recon. ive gained about a 3/4 of an inch or an inch of room on the inner guards.. heres some fotos..
