went a bit photo crazy today :p

I just couldn't resist giving my baby a bit of a tidy for a quick photo shoot. I will give it a full wash, cut and polish and detail when I finish the spoiler and front bar, but for now I cleaned and rejuvinated the leather seats and interior, cleaned the rims (still need centre caps for as the holden ones I had painted are too small), tyre shine, tinted and cleared the tail lights (only one coat of tint so still look normal, just a bit nicer to look at for me) and a quick vacuum.

Hope you all enjoy the bonanza of photos haha!

Well that's how she's looking today. I absolutely love this car and don't think I will ever part with it.

Got a start on the spoiler but ran out of paint after 2 coates, so im leaving it until I get paid to get more paint and clear coat. I did a test fit with it partially painted and think it needs the garnish to be black instead of red.. Thoughts?

also I think my diff is going to die.. In the photos you might be able to see the puddle that the diff left under it.

The pinion seal is rooted. Replace that and refill.
Keep garnish red.

That's a guess. Could be the axle seals. But pinion seal is the main one to go. Get onto it ASAP.
Got a manual to sort you out?

either pinion seal of diff housing gasket.

Replace both, the housing gasket is only like $2.50 anyways
