I finally sold them shitty looking advanti rims which put a little coin in my pocket

Picked up some 1 3/4" pacemaker 4>1's for $300 in very good condition. Will eventually get them HPC coated and bolted on.

So with the house renovations almost over the nightmares almost over. Splashed out on a new set of big bores for the blue beast. With my mate from pedders we trying to work out a date we can get her in and front to back rebush everything and some new front struts. Also got a few things to order for the ute aswell :)

So just when everything starts to smooth out and i have a little money to spend on the ute, life throws a spanner in the works :(



So had to shell out to get it recified, but knowing myself i didnt just want to replace the strut tops. If you looked at the car prior it had a massive front rake. The springs in the front were and ultra low on the factory fe2 struts and the rears were super low. Horrible

In goes pair of sports ryder struts and the matching springs so car now sits nice and level, new strut top and bearings and bump stops.

Mentioned him before but big shout out to Paul at pedders modbury. Gave me the courtesy call to say inner control arm bushes were ****ed. He changed them aswell before was wheel aligned. Top bloke







Next up saving for a twin 3" and get my extractors ceramic coated.
