Update...

Currently in the process of doing my head gasket.

got my heads back on friday and was keen to put it all back together when i realised i needed to buy new rocker retainer bolts as they are a once only use bolt... grrr. so i called holden this morning and ordered 12 new bolts at the hefty price of $4 per bolt.

Heres a pic of my baby as she sits half naked and lonely in my garage.

And here it is getting a bath

the altezza lights realy are a love them or hate them kind of mod, personally i like them, they just seem new and flash. and i realy do like how bright my reverse lights are now, its like having headlights in the back of my car

Update, Painted my calipers on the weekend and also cleaned my rims inside and out, made a big differance, allthough you cant see it in the dodgy pic. also ordered a caramel wheel which ill hopefully pick up on wednesday so i can remove my side strips and badges.

not being harsh but rip the rest of the moulds off, then go down to repco, autobarn, supercheap or anywhere and buy a tin of prepsol and spend a few minutes removing the black crap off of it. looks half a$$ed right now.

future mods

- colour code door handles and mirrors
- lose the wing, its too much
- clean ur floor mats.


other than that your doing a good job. minus the tail lights (i hate them but each to their own)

 

[ragrim]

the moulds aint that easy to remove lol, i pulled off one and spent a good hour picking at it with no results, ive used prepsol, metho, turps, heat razor blades nothing gets it off, but im getting a caramel wheel in 2 days which will pull it all off.

door handles mirrors and the black around the windows is about 2 weeks away.

The wing... im still undecided, alot of people reckon it looks good and a few including myself think its crap, i like the low fat look of the car without it, im just waiting to see how it looks with a clubby rear bar.

as for the floor mats, lol! every time i take pics its just after ive done some work so the car looks like crap, im waiting for a nice sunny day so i can detail the car and get some nice pics but it just keeps raining every weekend
