    Default she finally blew.

    I cant beleive it. just when get my car looking its best i do a bottom end bearing. The day before just got it back from the panels beaters where a new front bumber was put on. a few ago got an 1800 set of wheels. she was looking great. Then on friday just bout to head off the melbourne when she just stoped. the past two days had been hearing a rattling sound from right near right exhaust manifold. was told told it was a lose bolt. on friday the nose got so bad it wasent funny. shes totally seazed. bunna needs a rebuild if not to much internal damage or another engine either way not happy.
