10-04-09, 23:28 GMT+10#22 yep it is .... cars starting to show signs of age now, it got
painted about 14-15yrs ago, so the rust is starting to come out.
Paintjobs are expensive these days, i reckon it would be $6-7G to tidy it up
again, so thats last on the list.
Think i will paint the intercooler matt black this time. I already replaced the cannon with a stock muffler thats not hooked up, and have the exhaust dump right behind it.
Alos have 14's now with the crown hubcaps, to fit the hilux drums and ke70 front discs.
cheers

04-03-10, 19:36 GMT+10#28 Not much, got a heap of original badges for it now, and got the
big JAF badge (japanese raa sort of)that goes on the grille coming right now.
Pretty happy about that, they look cool
Also got the 14's steelies for the back from a EB falcon which had the right offset,so can fit a 215/60/14 et street drag radial if need be , now and clear the big hilux drums and can fit the crown hubbies now, need to get some tyres though. And got some 4 stud 14's made for the front from someone.
Still doing the skyline atm, for another 6-8months ish, then will have bit more money and time to spend on it
plus we just had another child(baby girl) 8 weeks ago so are adjusting to that atm, doesn't leave anytime to do anything major on anything..lol
