Thanks man, but still need a bit or work, still need to rub it back with 2000 or 2500 then buff it...... Another Update, Just a little one.... Today I Started painting the Stuff thats going to be Black, like the Fues Box, Charcol Canister, few other bits. Also took the Tape and paper off the car, looks fantastic, with all the black parts in the bay and the motor in there stealling everyones attention. Well when i was about to clean the brake booster bottle, my missers came out calling my name as i was going to show her something, i went to get up and in a few seconds i found my self hooked on the little spring i hung from the canister on the roller door that holds the canister in place, anyway the spring had pierced right though my nose.................. DONT ASK HOW!!!! but it managed to find its way up my nose and i was hooked on big time........ All my missers could do and did was Laugh out so ****ing Loud.......... There's a pic for all to Laugh at too. lol Some more pic's of the bay with the paper all off...... Fuse box cover and bottom And here is the pic of my nose where the end of the spring pierced it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey all, I have a new update on the car...... Today i went and looked at the turbo im buying for the car along with a manifold and Turbosmart wastegate. Turbo: The hot cover is a nissan .63 unit with a P trim wheel in it. It can still use internal gate and bolts straight up too standard dump pipe. The core is a full water + oil cooled "Ball Bearing" unit. The Front cover is modified To4b With 60-1, which is a 76.2mm wheel. Manifold and Waste Gate: Stock manifold modified with 38mm turbosmart ultra gate Also Picked up some front door trims that are in mint cond to replace the ones that had the cut outs in them for the speakers which looked ugly........ Now it look neat and tidy, just the way i like my cars Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
