    (yesterday) got mine back from the stealer who had it for a week again trying to fix the radio that hasn't worked properly since new. Again the radio still isn't working properly and again they caused more damage to my car and again they lied to me about the damage and the service they supposedly did but again I don't believe them so walked out without paying for it.

    Pack of pricks, this is exactly why stealers get the bad name they deserve. If Ballan Holden ever expect to see me spending my hard earned at their premises again, they are seriously deluded - talk about shooting yourself in the foot, I told them when I booked in I was in the market for another new car, guess who won't be making the sale. In fact my experience with Holden stealers has all but put me off buying another Holden, after our tax goes to propping them up, this is how they say thanks, they make me sick.

    Started work on the new project.

    Budget model Mitsubishi Triton.

    Picked it up cheap from work

    Made some new light holders and fitted up some LED's and a worklight as a reversing light.

    Hosed down the engine with almost a litre of degreaser and then hit it with the pressure cleaner, looks schmick now.

    Changed the catback to the Redback exhaust that was on my wreck. Found that a cat was damaged a bit, a uni has movement and a driveshaft has up/down movement. #### it all.
