TMC Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
