Spent the last half hour looking over what you've done with it over all this time, #### me have you put some work into this car!

And given me many ideas of stuff to do to mine down the track, better start saving a year ago :p

yeah mate, im the apprentice mechanic there, was having a chat to your old man while the fitter was doing the alignment, those rears where rooted....almost had to pull the rear of your exhaust off to do the alignment because it hangs so low...those potenza are an awesome tyre tho.

Hahaa. Its too low... Yeah dad was saying you guys were having a hard time because the exhaust was in the way. Cheers for getting it sorted though!

Lmao, yeah I know, I was just going through all the old photo's on the computer and dayyyyuummm!!
I forgot just how much work has gone into it, untill the photos jog my memory, then all the pleaure AND pain comes rushing back!!

Cheers for sticking with it and getting to the end! hopefully you can learn from my mistakes, or successes to save some mucking around too. :)

the rear of your car looks like sex.

dont get rid of the chrome surround it looks so clean.

Cheers mate, I must admit, I'm growing quite fond of it too. Just add's that little touch to it. :D

Just frustrates me to no end that I can't keep the bloody thing clean anymore - working in a quarry it gets filthy the day after I wash it... :(

:rofl2:
I think I'll let Gillette do all the shaving for a bit.. :p

Was thinking of getting stuck into this VN, but decided to hold off for now!

Yess, true, if I do get back into it, you'll be ontop of the list mate :) lol.. IF ;)

Pics don't do the chrome strip much justice - looks better in person. (IMO)

Yeah man, if you could that'd be great, been stewing over it for the last few days.
Just not sure who to write to, or what to say.. :/

First one was on the way to work at like 5:30am Friday morning, then the next was at 7:30pm-ish on the Saturday evening.

howd you go fitting that chrome strip? can you just tape it on or do you need the screw holes? ive wanted one for ages but seeing as its for the vz bonnet with deeper 'slits' in the bonnet i didnt think it would look good but looks great, just hope i can get away without drilling holes in my bonnet if i wanna change it later.
cant wait to see it with a badge haha

Get photos of the bits of the road that damaged your car if possible, put something next to it to show how big it is. Same thing happened to my mate, he took photos, got quotes for new wheels/repairing the existing ones n all that...council bought him 2 new rims :)
