living the low life
ahh the trolley strips, my eyes!
other then that hawwt ride
Not sure if i will paint them or take them off.
I'm afraid if i take em off i'll destroy the paint, and i don't mind the look of them painted.
But its not quite as good as gone. However they keep me safe from the trolley/carparks.
It wasnt to bad with my ride the paint one one side wasnt bad at all however the otherside peeled alittle but i got alittle touch up paint sprayed then buffed and it was good as gold
but being orange it would be alot harder i think . Your right there they do protect it a s*(**hit load

Advice on trolley strips - keep them on, and get them colour coded, took one side off, damaged little bits of paint
nice man love the color. needs an ss kit and it will look mint
how much did it cost to fix that dent?I have one in the very same spot.
how much to weld up the spoiler holes and repaint the boot lid?
The guy who fixed it is mates with my dad who offered to fix it for free, but i ended up paying.
So he charged $730.
Not sure if that's accurate because they've been friends for 30 something years.
But It was Con at Lalor AutoBody
He's an angry old man but did a terrific job!

I'll do it for free! No charge!
No way, man!
I insist! No money, I want to do this for you!
No. I won't have it.
Okay then. $730! And I'll throw in rust protection for an extra $1000.
This sounds absolutely legit to me :P
America just kicked in yo
nice tidy vx I'll look for you on the road hehe
He's the kind of guy if he looks after us he expects to be looked after through work (I work for a spray booth company) but since i don't run the place i cant offer him deals n shit.
Also, spent a few hours and really did my interior.
Looks tops i reckon.
Pulled some new grilles off a VT Calais down at my local wreckers.
$15 and a nice little touch i think.
Just installed one of my new skirts. Will do the other tomorrow. Excuse the writing, from the guys i got it off, will come off with a wash.

Just a pic of how it was sitting at my folks house over the weekend. Got asked if it was bagged hah, good feeling.
Had a shit day with my car yesterday.
First of all;
Got dirty as from sitting near a dirt road at my parents house.
On my way home, the inner wall on my rear right hand tyre blew and left me stranded (too low to get a jack under so the RACV man helped me.)
Apparently my rear left is about to go too. Camber is raping it apparently. (Not sure what a reasonable price is for a camber kit installed, so advice would be great)
Banged my spare on, and drove off home, noticed my brakes pads are squeaking, not sure which but it's incredibly annoying, want that fixed. (drove around with no music while i was concentrating on how it felt with a 15" and 17".)
However, debadged for a total price of $0 and 5 minutes, fishing line, thumb nail, water, rag.
Came up like they were never there.
looks good weres the link for the air vents cheers.
