Yay, my car is almost fixed, will be back on the streets by next weekend, front and roof all fixed! :D need to organise a drive soon, I have been stuck on PS2 for about 3 months now, can't wait to have a turbo under my right foot again!
 
I crashed it about 3 months ago, on Warrigal RD, just crossed HWY on the way home from going out for tea with my Girlfreind, a car suddenly stopped to cross traffic (right turn) about 3 cars managed to stop but the car in front of me was an old mazda 626 and the girl driving it ran up the back of a VW polo or sumthing, that was my indication to stop ( a loud crash and glass flying everwhere from the front of her car) then I ran into the back of her car. unfortunately my ABS not working properly so is disconected most of the time. (will get that fixed along with upgrading my front brakes real soon) so the front got a bit bent but will be coming back better now, EVO bonnet, front guards, and front bar, also the panelbeater was able to remove the strut tower bracing from the EVO front cut shell I got the radiator support from, and weld it on. And the rust in the roof is being fixed!

Thanks Matress, I will, PM me your address. Its an Evo 1 bar (thanks Nickevo1) dont think can put a lower lip on. I had Evo 3 fibreglass bar before and it scraped on the drive way all the time, now there is no lip I can dump the car before I get wheel alignment done!

Congratulations bro!! That bonnet looks off dial!

yeah the alluminium bonnet just sets it off I think, I was over the look of the EVO 4/5/6 fibreglass scoop that I had on there, woulda prefered to have been able to sell to someone else but shit happens.
 
lookin great yep u can put an e2 lip o the e1 bar as they r the same minus a lip.

I've had the clear lights for ages, that reflector panel was clear with a big red circular reflector and I never quite liked it. I think the lights look better without it and would look silly with a red lens there so I got the plain panels painted. Has a different look about it, If I was to come across some Evo rear fog lights cheap would probly go back....
 
The evo rear fog lights or the gsr reflectors tinted would look sweet in my opinion. Not a massive fan on the altezza rears myself but nice work building something different. With normal tail lights it would look hot to people in the know, and sleeper to your average commondore owner. Nice ride!!!
