goldsack.yeh Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 ok so i havent had much time lately but i wanted to try the whole rust vs vinegar thing and it actually works this was my first go left it over night then gave it a quick wire brush. gave it a coat of paint then i realised i had forgot the overflow tank cap face palm but that one cleaned up even better worked well on bolts aswell 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldsack.yeh Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 big day... got some wheels 14x6 they will be staying white untill i have the car painted , good and bad news tho.... good news? the fronts fit and they have mad fitment bad news? the only turn this far... i think a smaller profile tyre should fix the problems tho The backs on the other hand dont fit at all because this is how close the stock wheels sit to the sub frame, thoughts on this?? been suggested maybe a bearing gone or the hydrolastic out of wack. i think a smaller profile tyre should fix the problems tho i also pulled off the rocker cover. looks pretty decent to me. i think my 29,000 miles are actually genuine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldsack.yeh Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 In the process of deciding wether i should completely strip my body down and take it to a body place and get it done properly, or just hack into my self.... surely cant be that hard can it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
