Nah lol as usual unforeseen expenses (phone bill after running up $200 of data during the E3 expo lol) and spent a week in qld with a mate and we got on the piss every night so I came back to Victoria poor so now if the tax man is kind and gives me a fair bit back it will be dropped off on the 4th of august. I've pretty much decided I'm not spending anything on the car besides petrol til it's done. I JUST WANT IT DONE lol. Oh and I got a quote to get the rim re-rolled $165 so that's pretty good better than $300 for a new rim anyway :)
