sorry for the poor photos but its cold outside and ive had enough. My crappy alignment ruined 2 ok tyres and i need to be able to drive the car around 200 miles to a show next saturday, crap.
I flipped my tie rod ends yesterday, and didnt take any photos because it was frustrating. Today I fitted my drop plates on the back and underestimated the slam factor and now the car cannot leave my driveway. Sure looks cool tho
Ill sort out winding it up a bit on the rear to get it rolling tomorrow night i should think. Friday im picking up a new fuel tank, but we will come to that later. Im also going to pauls workshop again for more chassis modificationz to get the damn front end to be low
Hopefully that will conclude my journey of slamming the shit out of this thing, but ill have to get on sorting the fuel tank thingy before i smash mine up too much ahha. Anyways here are 2 aweful pics of the car on my drive.
Excuse the rusty rear panel. What can i say i should probably fix it, but i concentrate on other things  |

Enter my major and see if you have time to work on your car in the garage they don't let you wrench in
This summer, though. It'll be happening.
Hey, have you considered doing a bosozoku style tailpipe? I think it would fit well  |

Haha cheers man, still need to raise the engine and sort out the rear beam issues.
I would ideally like the front panel to be pretty much on the floor.  |

Ok so we got my car running on monday night. Sorted out the fuel pump wiring and everything, happy days.
Drove into work this morning and hit something REALLY hard. Turns out it was my sump , it was leaking pretty bad but i got to work so i just came on inside.
Turns out that was the WORST thing i have ever done, reception just phoned me and apparently the fire brigade were outside hosing down my car. CRAP i left the fuel pump on .
I dont even know what im going to do. its not too badly damaged, shame i dont have a camera here.  |
