i think its about time to post up some interior pics.
just put center console compartment in today, and very pleased how it turned out.

seat covers are disgusting, need new ones [V]

rear parcel shelf courtesy or Shea, bought it aaaaages ago, and put it in aaaaaaages ago.


hopefully get some new exterior pics up soon with lower ride height.
coilovers.



i had an accident a few months ago, very disappointing[:(!]

hope to have this fixed soon.

$170 for thread and spring cups
$30 sandblasting and undercoat
$250? for springs.
just used struts that i had, and got all welding done by a mate. painted them myself aswell,and had top spring holder drilled out by a mate.
just using old inserts and strut tops for now.

Looking great, the round headlights and front spoiler really make a difference to me.

Looks good James. Good to see the louvre in use again. I've had that in storage for at least 10 years.
