It doesn't just look more expensive!

I've already seen that photo :p I'll do it once I've got it at moorebank and I can work on it everyday properly and the cars runing/run in. Need to get k's before track day, so taken it off the road for any amount of time is stupid.

Alternator is all finished and hooked up now, had to shorten the wires to it. Also got a new K&N filter and got the ignition module repaired after we had some drams with it running like crap, altho I think it might have been the brake booster hose that came loose causing that :p

Thought I would take a picture of the bin that sits behind the car, hasn't been cleaned since before I got the car tuned and lots off reving in the driveway :p

Anyway I got Aaron over to do some bog work on the boot during the week, used some fiberglass bog etc etc I duno he is the paint and pannel man I just watch :) Sanded it up smoothish and put some etch primer onto it. Plan was to do the rest tomorrow at his work and get some proper welds underneath but that all depends what time I get the car back now.

I like how you wrote your car off by what you did to the chassis rails...

You talking about the front? It's only a lip isn't it. Not that structural.

It's crumple zone.

Should've just low mounted it like a real man, or left it on the other side.

It's crumple zone, There is reasons for it being a lip, and not welded... Goodluck with police and/or roadworthy inspectors.
