So the only thing i've had left to do is fix the oil leaks, or as the rw centre said clean the engine of all oil stains..
So i got the old aussie export degreaser and high pressure washer out today and gave it a good clean!
Hopefully all goes good at the roadworthy centre amd she should be on the road by christmas!

How'd you go fitting your exhaust? I was looking at a redback a few months ago since I have extractors with a 2.5" outlet to the stock exhaust, which is like 2" or something so I get a bit of a drone since it's going smaller from larger

Looks really tidy mate. Great pick up for $800 + the bits and pieces. I would skip SSL springs though as you mentioned.

The hardest part of the whole process was actually getting off the old exhaust, haha. (Ended up angle grinding it off)
Nah man its really easy, took me about 20 minutes..

Enough said.

Thanks man :) yeah it was a great deal.
Yeah i'm going to lower it but i've decided to do it to a reasonable height, Just because it sits way too high IMO..
Thankls for the input :D


Thanks everyone for checking it out and commenting!
