So once getting Cressida back from Nelson. Started on buying some bits and bobs for it. Adjustable front and rear shocks. 14x8.5 AME mesh rims and 14x9.5 Volk mesh rims off Bairdy before he went to Japan. Brought woodgrain Nardi adjustable camber plates. And a rusty Ga61 1ggeu w55 for running gear.

Parted out Ga61 sold 1ggeu to Be4ver for his awesome find h/t twin cam Gx61. Converted Gx71 to manual once made myself new front driveshaft away laughing. Completely different car. Just used all stuff from donor Ga61. So started making few more things for the beast

Twin stainless 1.5" pipes

Picture less update, brought some nz new mx73 leather interior and some other bits and pieces to tidy up some things on car, will be getting low next Fri taken day off work because its birthday and no better way to spend birthday is working on your own car or getting tattoos. So that will hopefully sort the guards, suspension and hopefully have rear rims polished and tubes fitted to rims all round. And thinking of putting muffler/resonator back in to exhaust as its ear bleeding loud hahaha
