i get the car back today hopefully and the weather is pretty krap so i'll have to wait to get some decent pics but i will post some up as soon as i can!!! As for mods i've kinda done it backwards by doing up the car for all show and only a little go for now because theres no point building a nice motor with a shell thats slowly falling apart but the motor will be getting full attention from now on Its got the usual hi-flow turbo, front mount cooler, 3inch exhaust etc.... just haven't cracked open the motor yet and i've already sourced a full fuel package with computer an sh!t and i also have plans of a gt 35/40 Will keep you all posted on upcoming changes Cheers....

Gotta start with a decent base I reckon. Looks good mate. Not really my cuppa tea but Steve's done a bloody fantastic job with the gun there! Good to see someone getting away from the norm Asteroid Silver too!

Well its been a while since i updated this but i got a couple more progress pics of the interior all finished and the engine bay cleaned up a little!! For those who thought i was mad going for black carpet with cream interior i will let the picture do the answers on that Feel free to suggest or pick on things for me coz i'm running out of things to fiddle with on it haha! Enjoy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Awesome stuff man. For the price you've payed, you've obviously realised you get what you pay for, as there's alot of guy's that tend to think that $1000 for a panel prep/paint job is enough, then cry when the end result is crap!

so true!!! It took me a few quotes and about 2 years to finally realise that you gotta spend the money to get the results.
