Have a look at your rear spring top seat rubbers and rear swaybar links , also tighten rear subframe bolts.

Same here, looks so good but you always notice the chips.

Rupewrecht · 13-12-2009, 09:16 PM

Put some different wheels on, looks alright. Need to add some camber to the rear as the left rear scrubs a little

Plutonus · 14-12-2009, 12:10 AM

Blew a fuse...

Took my short shifter out after months of hard shifting found starting to damage 2nd and 4th gear syncros and hubs started to feel as if it was not selecting fully -- bit annoyed but things happen might have to freshen up the box now.

Davo cams are Ivan Tighe 805c

RustyKaos · 15-12-2009, 07:18 AM

Finished installing all the ac parts and now just need to get it gassed. Hope it holds up to the pressure.

NaughtyGT · 15-12-2009, 08:19 AM

dragging my wife's hurse down to the car wash this afternoon as it isn't black anymore it's grey. Looks like it's been in an old barn for years & gathered dust & cobwebs lol

Plutonus · 16-12-2009, 12:16 AM

Did my LED tail lights again... ( looks better in real life - cameras never capture my LEDs well

)
