then wonder why your radiator support was bent the other way when you woke up from being knocked out by the steering wheel

me and my mate used to buy crashed cars(mostly cheap a*** commodores) and if they were fixable with some bolt on panels and a quick pull on the rad support we would flog them off for good money, id hate to see them after they crash aagain though being a bent support panel restraightened lol.
power poles were our weapon of choice

put the car back together again this morning, everything apart from power has been done, for the power i'm going to steal some loom out of a car i've got sitting in the paddock and extend it then everything should work as per factory :D the only issues i can see with the bottle where it is is a stray rock hitting it or some kids decide to pull the water line off
