I miss EDGHIA :(

another update.

brake lights have been fixed, new tyres for the front are done and battery connections also re-done. also discovered that the bottom seat base on the drivers side had broken off its mounting points so i got another base from jollys for free :).

car is booked for roadworthy friday. ill give underneath a degrease and hope they dont give me a big list.

ill get there one day...

im advertising now cause it often takes ages to sell cars. in 6 months the car wont be needed as the only use this car gets is for my G/F to drive to uni and back. once we move she will get public transport. i have my van for daily duties and petrol is paid for by work :P

ill do little bits to it here and there but i wont be wasting lots of $$$ like i used to on EDGHIA.

may as well do an update while im here, car passed the roadworthy fairly easily. only major thing was a new master cylinder because the old one was leaking a little.

ive eliminated a few rattles which were shiting me. also sprayed the intake satin black and put on a tickford rockercover i got cheap on ebay. has improved the engine bay apperance.

I saw the carsales ad Johnny...had me tempted...I know Mash spent more than what you're asking on doing the kit, sunny, concorde interior, Azzuros, lowering and some sprayed bits. Didn't know he manualised it though - all those recent mods would have been only roughly 2 years ago or so ?

So much to think about ! This for ~$6K, ELXR8 with kit and engine mods for $6.5K on FM...FBT in Bendigo for $11K and EL GT in QLD for $29K ! Yes dreaming a bit here...but can't help be tempted by some of these offers hehe :P

Yep +1 for better pics with Sunnys T3 rims please :)
