Well yesterday I decided to give the car a decent clean...

Took out the seats, and gave it a full vac and wipe over with interior cleaner... it actually came up pretty good with a nice clean.

Today I decided to just fix up and throw the front lip on as i reckon the EVO3 bar needs the lip.

The lip itself is completely munted but I just blocked it back with some P80 and then hit it with some primer...

The had a crack with some black paint and it actually came up pretty good considering its state...

It will be ok on the car for a few months until i can find a new lip and will just wait until the car is painted next year.

Anyway here are the pics....

nice lip mate looks better and i would have to agree with shaunevo paint the bonnet black

[91LTI]

FINALLY fixed the brakes!!!!

Used the discs and calipers that my mate gave me, had them machined (the discs) and cleaned up the calipers and gave them a little spray, well Dion did.

Looks pretty good, the discs came up perfect with once machined.

Took it for a drive, no squealing!







Going to just paint the rear calipers red today sometime to match.

Nah its not that it's not what I wanted dude, more so that I really want to spend some coin on it (paint, suspension, interior etc) but can't because I have a wedding coming up that is taking all my spare funds...

So I thought that I'd see if I could sell it, and perhaps just roll in something low and slow until the wedding. Then I'll look at an EVO after that when the funds ease up a bit..

Sounds good in theory, whether it happens like that is another story lol

[dvscoupe]

in other word


FKN SOFT


hahahaha


nah dude good luck with the sale

[91LTI]

maybe I should just give it a new coat of paint (what colour?), and leave it for a bit..

still cant find a roof skin... anyone know of any non-rusted ones up for grabs?

[OFFON-4]

Misty have them new, i got one!

Ask Travis aka SIVART

not really an update, but looking to get some cheap tint and get my a/c up and running asap...

This heat is pretty crap and its not even summer yet. lol

Seeing as I'm on a tight budget at the moment due to our fkn wedding, I've thrown around the idea of trying to tint the windows myself.

I know that is fkn dodgy as buggery, but has anyone had a crack at it before?

I wouldnt assume it would be all that difficult if i am able to drop the windows out from the doors, and then perhaps get someone to just do the rear windscreen for me...

Anyone got a better idea?

The lack of a/c is a major reason i've considered selling the car, even though it only needs the compressor. Lazy much? lol

Also, on the lookout for some 19s at the moment, cheap 2nd hand ones are the go... proving to be rather difficult.
