Suspension:

MACE - Cold Air Intake
MACE - 70mm Throttle Body

FUTURE MODS:

- Re-Gas Air Con(DONE)

Though I'd just make a list of things I need to do so I can just add and remove as I do the list of Things TO Do.

I brought the car home and found a few little issues as you will see:

I got the Roof, Bonnet, Both side guards & front bumper resprayed because of water damage also. Got the rims resprayed also as they were an ugly faded silver because I think they were sprayed previous and they had some gutter rash and got them repaired and resprayed.

A few pictures before the car was in my position:

These are just some random pics and I will be adding as I go along anyway. As much as I want too I wont be doing much internal engine work as I would like to keep it original and just a very clean cruiser. So if anyone has some suggestions as to anything else I can do without doing heads or cam or on even anything else...Im all ears :p hope everyone enjoys!

Thanks to MACE I put my new CAI & 70mm TB on and I must say it's very impressive couldn't be happier. Throttle response and aswell as the exhaust noise is much better and louder too. Have had plenty of compliments on it and I would recommend it to anyone !!
