Probably one day. Not much though. I'm starting Uni very soon, I just bought a bike, and I'm somewhat broke.

Not to mention I'm putting money away for my next car. I'll still keep this one looking nice for it's next owner (my sister :D ) But I won't be spending any more big dollars on it as I've done most everything I want to do to it.

Thanks guys.

I don't have a whole lot planned for it. I've got some body work lined up for it. General touch ups, fixing a few cracks in the kit and re-spraying of the whole kit so the paint matches better.

Apart from that the only other things I've got planned are re-trimming the roof and parcel shelf so the interior is 100% Complete.

But yeh, whilst Uni is on I'm going to be keeping is more or less as it is as I won't have much money coming in, and whatever money I do have come in will be going towards a BA when my sister buys my car.

And yeh Dave, I did go with the JVC head. JVC's heads s**t over everything else for value for money. It's sick. I'd recommend any of the JVC heads I've owned to anyone.

There was a mob on ebay selling them in the e series offset a while back, pretty sure they are still selling them. From memory they also had the BA/BF XR wheels too.

Theres a crap load of places like Wheels Direct and The Mag Shop (from memory) that sell them now. They should be easy enough to find.

fordjared, that sounds about right! Just make sure everything is clean and that the paint is sticking with the tack coat.

el_xr6_luke, I used blue plastic from a display folder as well as a blue LED. It's ok but the light could be more spread out as, during the day time, it's still hard to see the edges.

When I re-do it I'm going to get a proper white light filter to disperse the light evenly and sand the top of the blue LED.
