haha i know -_- yeah the 5speed conversion is till sitting here in my garage, the car is still waiting to be taken to what will be its home and where it wll be seriously worked on for the next maybe month til shes all roadworthy, which is also where ill whack the 5speed in. id love a vlt diff! but that will have to be later down the track as my wallet wont allow that at the moment. im hoping that i can get the car on its way tomorrow, but thats as long as i can find somwhere that i can return a trailer after hours so i dont know how much luck ill have!

updates are always good yeah? the little mounting things for the ckeck strap had actually been ripped out, we ended up being able to fix it instead of replacing the whole actual panel kinda bit which was goood, i think theres a pic of how it was before on a previous page. maybe not i dno lol. got the bog and **** primer/puttied, and got some guide coat on, paint shouldnt be too far away. so HOPEFULLY ill get a few ittle bits and peices i need together, whack her back together and go try for rego next week someone lend me some stockies with good tread for rego lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i have the stocies that came on the car, just the 14"s, 2 have good tread and two dont. so that would work out perfect, as long as theyre 14"? and cheers for the kind words fellas, cant wait to get it on the road Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
