    Haha it totally looks like one of those old 1920's mafia cars, all you need is the tommy gun sticking out of the window. Dunno about the plates though, i thought your name was Seb not Sam. Get it lowered and shell be a nice ride, look forward to seeing it in the flesh this friday maybe.

    One of the better cars on this site.Keep the exhaust just get some straight through mufflers and it will sound great.Id lose the mud flaps and just lower it a bit as they can be a bit of a boat.Even better you could sell it to me.

    600 isnt bad for a twin system and lukey sound sooo good. but ring around and get more quotes. 200 for the clean is ok i suppose there's a few hours work in it so thats where it goes most detailers would charge that or more i reckon
    Hope that helps

    Wow thats an original argument troy "gas is for bbq's not cars" well my last car was a ****IN bbq!! lol and if you look in my boot troy you would see that the gas tank doesn't take up that much room at all **** I could probly still fit geoff in there, its got a boot big enough to fit a wookie and a gas tank lol

    As for the whole gas thing I could careless what any1 say helps me afford to run this beauty of a car and it runs real well on it and as I love to drive alot I think id be broke in a month or so if i was running it on petty all the time lol

    Yeah tis a nice ride granpa, i like it more than ur vs, but it is 100% old man spec, when you gonna cut ur bun off?
    And gas is not only for BBQ's its for TIGHTASS's LOL
    You desperatly need to lower it and what not, but tint will look mint, i hope you take my advice in the darkness of it.
    What "custom" plates u getting? Or just the same u got now but black slimlines?
    Hahahahah wookie AND a gas tank.... that sounds like a challenge LOL
    Cya tmoz man

    EDIT: That cut and polish your talking about isnt a proper cut n polish, they will just run over the car with a rag for that, a proper cut and polish costs several hundred more than that. But ur paint is in pretty good nick so will prob do the job anyways, and steam clean will make ur bay look a lot cleaner, you also need to clean up the mess of wires in the bay..... and CHROME AIR JOBBY BRO!!!
    And that last pic looks mint....
