For the time im saving to get it painted and panal beated, the car that is,

Selling the other rear bar as it needs some work done to it, pm me if interested has tow bar tounge cut out as well

Possibly the wing will be gone as well, need to discuss it with my painter

Before xmas im hopeing to get a new speaker carpert and roof liner done, to tidy the interior up a bit

Broke the cruise buttons off so i have tape over it it protect it, while im back at tafe ill pop into the wreckers on my lunch break and pick up another steering wheel and find some one who wants to change it for me.

Thats about it, for the time bieng

ps, any one no where and how much the torx bits are to undo the child restraint on the parcel shelf and to take the steering wheel off

went to the wreckers today and pulled off a 10 dollar rocker cover off a au taxi,

its getting polished into a mirror finish, being done for me for free becuase i made him a intake section out of the pipe i had left over

thats just part of the engine bay clean up, getting a few other things also done as well,, when it goes in for painting,

pick up my qoute after tafe tommoro

also i get my rocker cover back on friday as well

found out the reason for the boot lid rubbing on the rear bar,

d*&K heads who painted the kit never re fitted the plastic inserts on it so it can be pushed and locked in, reason and part of it cracking as its been flexing around

lucky i have kept my old bar to donate is brackets off

cheers

Picking up my rocker cover tommoro

Nice and polished

Either i replace my lifters and fit the new cover, or put it away till time comes for new enigne,

Also will be looking at getting the tb and intake manifold inside polished up as well, smooth it up. better air flow

I have a job lined up, so hopefully i get it and things can start to commence

pick up rocker cover tommoro

have some funds on the way,

so first thing will be to fix up the knocking suspension and to get my new roof liner and rear carpert done,

also getting some money from xmas towards my new rear bar ready for when it goes in for panal and paint next year

ball joints are gone grr more money less on looks

UPDATE,

wasnt ball joints, the mechanic who did my suspension didnt tighten up my top arm, and it was knocking like f&*K, so i fixed that up yesterday and its all good

searching ebay other day and i found a gold au , same colour as mine, he was wrecking it and thought to my self, lets see if he has a un dented lhr door, each to there own he does and he wants 25 bucks for it, reason im buying it is mine is dented like f**k, and also saves my painter the hassle of attending to the door when he can attend to my 3 grand paint job,

also picking up a drivers side door actuator as mine is playing up big time, 15 bucks, who can complain

next week, car is getting booked in for a black roof liner to be done to replace my sagging one, cost me about 80 bucks as im pulling my old liner out my self

then after xmas going to get my ew rear bar in ready for when march comes around, going into paint then, which will be good
