Bax, one word of advice, roll those gaurds or you'll be one sad mother focker when you roll it out of the shed for the first time ....

thats the thing, apparently theres a guy in town with the proper tool. that does it with the hub and a heatlamp. panel beater basically told me its not worth doing now until i know for sure that its going to rub, i know the back won't rub, i've been told the fronts rub occassionally but i had a quick look before and the front seems pretty sweet. im wondering how much extra it'd be to get it done now.

I scrub with adjustable panhard, 16" walkies with hella wide tyres on the rim, and superlows, with rolled gaurds ...... so i can see u having issues with non rolled, no adjustable rod and 18's or 19's Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Adjustable rod is there. I'm not sure what the measurement on the 19's are, whether they're x8 or 7.5 or what. Will have to wait and see I guess. I'll ask the panel beater how much tomorrow. If he has to do it then I'll take it back after a while, but right now, I can't.

Well I'm going in at lunch time, may not be as pieced together as I thought, turns out he hasn't done the black around the taillights, needs me to take them out so he can see where he has to paint. What a ****wit.. may not see it this week then. Oh well I'll get him to redo the bootlid and clear over the taillights. Yeah went and had a look, no pics because nothings changed, all the stuff is there waiting for it to be put on though, he reckons I'll have it today. He's got a busy day ahead of him if he wants to put it all together and paint around the taillights before 5. I rocked up and they were f*cking closed!

It can merge all it likes, saves me going back and editing.. Stupid piece of trash. I'm trying to find out whats going on with the car, I said I wasn't going to go out this morning because I have work that I should be doing, but I want to see if this slack ass has done it, because my mate at the tyre shops waiting for me to get back to him this week. Frustration is the key.

No worries, she's at work so bring me back a coffee when your done. Went and saw them, they're saying give them a call thursday now, I said how about I leave it til Friday, and I'll pick it up Monday. He said yeah that sounds better. Theres not much that he has to do. He still has to paint door handles, few other things black, center garnish, taillight surrounds, taillights clear, my rocker cover blue, Mirrors black, skirts black, moulds still aren't on I don't think, front and rear bumper still isn't on. Frustration is the key, I've told my mate at the suspension/tyre place that he'll have it this week, may have to call him and book in for next.

Wheels arrived today, I'll go scope them out later on this arvo when I'm over town checking out a few 66kv poles that aren't labelled apparently. Not talking to the panel beater, waiting for him to call me, I figured I shouldn't rush him because I can't afford to pay him until next thursday haha

This arvo b*tch, I wagged work yesterday - going for my site visit today. My mate wants me to go around put the wheels on my car and see if they fit and scrub, I don't think I'll get to do that, but I'll see what I can do. He reckons he's got 19x35x245's and 19x35x235's. The 245's look better but if they scrub he will have to go the 235's Absolutely spewing again, rims are in, panel beater has done **** all, I took a photo of rims and they aren't on my phone. Rang up about hoodlining prices seeing as the screens are out, theres 450 dollars gone apparently. I'm going to have some fun weeks ahead of me. People are pissing me off because I'm sick of waiting. Rims look good, shouldn't be hard to get the concept 5 logo off, someone said they were under a few coats of clear, but it actually looks like their printed on top of the clear.
