    Yea will be getting the rear muffler on the exhaust removed soon as a i get a chance and will be ordering pacemakers soon as they guy i order **** through gets back off his sicky.

    Keeping the towbar though, good for protectin the fuel tank when dumped, touch parking and when ****heads run up ur ass, just scracthes the bar rather then ****in your car.

    Nah, he said WHEN do you hook up the BBQ fuel


    Looks good dude, but as Geoffery said, slam it down on it's ass ASAP. Will look kouta once you do that. Then wheels. Get sigs hahahaha. You can buy Minux's off him when his NEW wheels go on his VY.

    Paint the fuel tank hammertone silver with black straps, the 5 litre tanks look sweet when silver for some reason. Dunno why, they just do.
